Abstract: In order to analyze coal industry efforts necessary to support synthetic natural gas production, we must first look at the present condition of the United States coal industry, Domestic coal consumption for 1979 was an estimated 673 million tons, representing an annual increase of 4.1% over the last two years. Electric utilities presently consume about 80 percent of the coal produclion. Utilities consumed about 530 million tons of coal in 1979, up from 476 million tons in 1977. The United States coal industry has excess production capacity of approximately 100 million tons per year, primarily available through mines in the eastern part of the country. In spite of our capabilities to produce this coal, over 20,000 miners are unemployed because of a decreased demand for coal.
