The Metallurgical Coal Producers Association (MCPA) has revealed that a majority of the nation\u2019s metallurgical coal produced annually \u2013 about 55% \u2013 is now represented by the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While MCPA is a regional association representing Appalachian producers, coal tonnage by its members is all mined within a four-state region: Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MCPA recently welcomed Blackhawk Mining to the association which, together with members Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Coronado Global, Ramaco, Robindale Energy and United Coal Company (a subsidiary of Metinvest), accounted for over 34 million tons of met coal produced in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Energy Information Administration, 62 million tons of met coal were sold that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe MCPA exists solely to represent and advocate for the met coal industry,\u201d said MCPA President Ben Beakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur producing members are the leaders of the met coal industry. We are proud of the positive impact they have by mining the coal that is used to make steel needed to rebuild our world\u2019s infrastructure and manufacture everyday products which affect so many lives.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

MCPA members employ 7,000 miners and support staff at 68 different mines in four different states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
