Since 1865, more than 12 billion short tons of coal have been mined in Wyoming. In 2020, 218 million short tons (MT) of coal were produced in Wyoming, down 21 percent from the 277 MT produced during 2019. Coal was produced from mines in Campbell, Sweetwater, and Lincoln counties in Wyoming.

In southwestern Wyoming, the heat values average 10,000 Btu/lb (as-received raw coal sample, not heat dried or baked). PRB coals range from 7,710 Btu/lb to 9,410 Btu/lb, averaging 8,580 Btu/lb. Sulfur content is not rank dependent, but rather controlled by the depositional environment and

This question does not have a simple answer because although there are approximately 1.4 trillion short tons of coal in Wyoming, not all of it is useable or accessible. The volume of coal in-place underground is called a coal resource. Coal shallower than 6,000 feet below the surface is

2021-8-1 Wyoming coal is shipped to 35 other states. The coal is highly desirable because of its low sulfur levels. On average, Wyoming coal contains 0.35 percent sulfur by weight, compared with 1.59 percent for Kentucky coal and 3 to 5 percent for other eastern coals such as West Virginia.
WYOMING COAL
2018-5-7 Wyoming’s Coal Resources Wyoming is home to over 1.4 trillion tons of total coal resources in seams ranging in thickness from five feet to some in excess of 200 feet in the Powder River Basin (PRB). Recent estimates from the Wyoming Geological Survey give Wyoming more than 165 billion tons of recoverable coal.
The Coal Business in Wyoming WyoHistory
2014-11-8 Wyoming is home to nine of the nation’s 10 largest coal mines, and coal in Wyoming is mined at a rate of 12 tons per second. Fifty to 70 coal trains per day carry coal out of the Powder River Basin. The trains are generally 110 to 140 cars long, carry 15,000 to 20,000 tons of coal each, and stretch more than 1.5 miles along the tracks.
