The World’s Largest Coal Field nestled in the northeastern United States, spanning an expansive 180,000 square kilometers across nine states.
With coal seams plunging to a depth of one thousand meters, yet revealing the shallowest point at just 1.7 meters from the surface, this colossal coal reserve boasts a staggering 93.76 billion tons of confirmed coal reserves, including 50 billion tons readily available for extraction.
Contributing over 400 million tons annually, it commands more than 50% of the total U.S. coal production, predominantly comprising top-quality anthracite coal for both domestic consumption and global export.
