Coal Data - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) (original) (raw)

Notice: We have revised Table 3b, Average annual coal transportation costs from coal basin to state by waterway. We updated this table to include the omitted data for New Hampshire and to correct a transcription error.

Find statistics on coal production, consumption, exports, imports, stocks, mining, and prices.
