Coal

Coal is a plentiful fossil resource that consists mostly of carbon. Energy content (Btu/pound) ranges from 5,000 to 15,000 which depends on type of coal. Coal assets are located all over the world.

Electric utilities use about 87% of the total coal produced. In the United States, coal is used to produce more than half of all the electricity produced. It is also used as a basic energy source in many industries, and as a heating fuel.

The U.S. is one of the top exporters of coal in the world. Most exported U.S. coal goes to Western Europe, Canada, and Japan.

Oil

Oil comes from crude oil, which is a blend of hydrocarbons with some oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur impurities. One barrel of oil (42 U.S. gallons) can provide about 6 million Btu.

Crude oil assets are all over the world, but the Middle East alone has about 63% of the known reserves. Of the oil consumed in the United States, most is used in transportation, and much of the rest goes to industrial, commercial, and residential uses.

Crude oil is used to produce not only a range of fuels, but also petrochemical ingredients for plastics, inks, tires, pharmaceuticals, and a host of other products.

Natural gas

Natural gas is the gas component of coal and oil formation which is used in industrial and commercial heating and cooking, and, increasingly, to fuel electricity generation.

In a compressed form, it can also be used as a transportation fuel. Natural gas is either found mixed in oil or is released from coal.

Energy in 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas is equivalent to one barrel of oil. World reserves of natural gas are greatest in Russian, Iran, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the U.S.

The U.S. consumed 19.7 million cubic feet of natural gas in 1999, nearly all of which came from domestic production. Five states—Texas, Louisiana, Alaska, New Mexico, and Oklahoma—hold more than 85 percent of U.S. natural gas reserves.
