 Arch Coal is one of the nation’s largest coal producers. Its core business is providing U.S. power producers with clean-burning, low-sulfur coal for electric generation. Through Arch’s national network of mines, it supplies the fuel for approximately 6 percent of the nation’s electricity. Besides sales to the electric generation market, Arch sells approximately 4-5 million tons per year to the industrial market which is an important part of Arch’s overall
sales mix. In addition, Arch is engaged in the emerging coal-to-liquids industry through a 24-percent ownership interest in DKRW Advanced Fuels, which plans to construct its first facility for converting coal into ultra-clean transportation fuels in southern Wyoming. Arch is also a recognized leader in mine safety and land reclamation. Arch Coal maintains its headquarters in Saint Louis and its stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol ACI. |
