Anthracite is one of nature’s cleanest-burning solid fossil fuels and carbon sources. A specialty mineral, anthracite is cleaner and harder than other forms of coal and offers the highest heat value of all coals.
Since its discovery in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1769, anthracite has been meeting the needs of industrial users worldwide while at the same time providing clean, affordable heat for homes and schools.
Anthracite has proven to be an economically and environmentally friendly solution for two centuries – and demand is growing.
