United States: Despite electricity demand increasing in the United States, coal-fired generation fell by almost 8% in 2022, reversing a 15% increase in 2021. The decrease in coal output was balanced by an increase in generation from natural gas and strong growth in renewables. As a result, coal's share of total global generation remained around ...

generated from coal and 30% fewer emissions than fuel oil. In addition to the environmental benefits of low emissions and high energy efficiency, there are other benefits that make natural gas the comfortable, responsible choice. Domestically Produced More than 80% of the natural gas used in the United States is domestically produced.

High energy density: Coal has a high energy density, meaning that it contains a large amount of energy per unit of weight. This makes it an efficient energy source, requiring less fuel to generate the same amount of energy as other sources. Low-cost production: Coal is relatively cheap, making it a cost-effective energy source.
