The US was the fifth-largest coal producer in the world, with 489.2 million tonnes (Mt), in 2020. Production declined by 23.7% in 2020 over the previous year, registering the third consecutive decline since 2017. The decline was majorly driven by production cutbacks by major coal producers, amidst the COVID-19 induced economic downturn
On 30 March 2020, Coronado Global Resources, a notable coal mining company in the US, announced it would be suspending mining operations at its coal mines including Buchanan, Logan, and Greenbrier mines, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, later resumed operations in June that year
Looking ahead, coal production in the country is expected to recover in 2021, mostly due to rising natural gas prices amid a drop in production, but over the forecast period (2021–2025), the US coal mine production is expected to decline, with coal output affected by the gradual closure of mines
