We proudly market Anthracite coal from the coal fields of Pennsylvania.  Historically this is the cleanest burning coal available.  Anthracite, commonly known as hard coal, has been commercially mined and prepared in our region for over 100 years. Anthracite is a natural high carbon, clean burning solid fuel with a typical sulfur content of less than 0.7% and volatile matter of just 4% to 6%. In fact, Anthracite is the cleanest burning solid fuel on the commercial market today. It has lower sulfur content than some heavy fuel oils. Its uses range from residential and commercial to industrial carbon and water filtration media.

Like all other sources of energy, anthracite’s heat value is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). There are about 25 million btus per ton of Anthracite. This is the equivalent of 180 gallons of home heating oil and 260 therms of natural gas. Current estimates show between 300 to 500 years of Anthracite reserves still remain in the ground today.

  Coal rank and quality can have a major impact on power plant  and metallurgy heat rate, on capital cost, generation costs, and of course performance.  The heat, carbon, moisture, ash, and sulfur contents all play an important role in the value of the coal.  We feel proudly that Anthracite is the best coal in the world, and Pennsylvania has the words largest supply of this clean burning high quality fuel.  

We know you will be excited about being able to provide this resource to your customers and hope that you will find this product just as valuable as we do.
