Coal Age
Serving the Needs of the Coal Mining Industry
According to the Energy Information Administration, coal consumption is expected to grow substantially with increases of 39% between 2005 levels and 2030. While mines in the East will continue to produce at levels similar to current production, Western mines are projected to meet the bulk of the new demand.
More than 1.16 billion tons of coal were produced by U.S. mines in 2006, a 30 million ton increase over 2005. With increased energy demands fueled by a strengthening economy, the coal should carry a healthy trend of growth into 2008. Meeting tomorrow’s coal production needs will require continued investment in technology and equipment.
Whether it is information about new mining regulations or technical articles concerning new technologies, Coal Age is the magazine that American coal suppliers look to for information. First published in 1911, Coal Age has continued a tradition of editorial excellence and relevence to the demands of one of America’s most important industries.
