Use of coal. In 2021, about 546 million short tons (MMst) of coal were consumed in the United States. On an energy content basis, this amount was equal to about 10.5 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) and to about 10.8% of total U.S. energy consumption. This was the lowest amount since 1964 and the second-lowest percentage share after 2020 ...

Most of the coal burned in US power plants is bituminous or subbituminous coal. A fifth type, called metallurgical (or "coking") coal, is used for steelmaking. All types of coal also contain sulfur, which, when burned, releases toxic air pollution. Sulfur content is determined by the conditions under which the coal is formed.
