Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
The US coal mining industry includes about 650 mining companies and about 250 exploration and mining support companies with combined annual revenue of about $39 billion. Major US companies include Alpha Natural Resources, Arch Coal, CONSOL Energy, and Peabody Energy. The US industry is concentrated: the top four companies account for about half of sales. About 1 billion short tons of coal are produced annually in the US, according to the Energy Information Administration.
Globally, the coal mining industry produces about 7.7 billion short tons of coal annually, accounting for about 27 percent of total energy consumption. The largest coal producers are China, the US, India, and Australia. Major coal mining companies outside the US include BHP Billiton (dually headquartered in the UK and Australia); Xstrata (headquartered in Switzerland); Anglo American (UK); ShenHua Group and Yankuang Group (China); and Coal India (India).
