Site of Anthracite discovery in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1769
Anthracite is environmentally friendly. As alternative sources of heat and process carbon have become expensive, and metallurgical coal supplies have had difficulty meeting the needs of the market, once again anthracite is the answer as an energy and carbon source.
Anthracite is one of nature’s cleanest-burning solid fossil fuels and carbon sources. Anthracite is cleaner and harder than other forms of coal and offers the highest heat value of all coals. Anthracite has been meeting the needs of industrial users worldwide while at the same time providing clean, affordable heat for homes and Public Buildings. Anthracite has proven to be an economic and environmentally friendly solution for two centuries – and demand is growing.
