May 25, 2006 U.S. coal production and consumption will almost certainly continue to grow. In its Annual Energy Outlook 2006, released in December 2005, the EIA projects that U.S. coal production in 2015 will total 1.27 billion tons, a 140-million ton increase 12 percent over the 1.13 billion produced in 2005.
demonstration necessary to ensure that the benefits of coal utilization in the U.S. continue into the future. The Roadmap represents a plan for developing technologies that convert coal to electricity and other useful forms of energy as well as into manufacturing feedstocks. Our Roadmap and accompanying analysis concluded that several coal
