- Description: Your house may be filled with high-tech gadgets, but chances are they're all powered by coal. More than half of the electricity generated in the US comes from coal, and Arch Coal is the country's second-largest coal producer, behind Peabody Energy. The company produces almost 115 million tons of coal a year from its mines in the western US and central Appalachia. Arch Coal has proven and probable reserves of about 3.4 billion tons. Steam coal -- low-ash coal used by electric utilities to produce steam in boilers -- accounts for 98% of its sales. To store and ship its coal, the company operates the Arch Coal Terminal along the Ohio River; it also has stakes in port facilities at Los Angeles and Virginia.
