Just two years after the first coal was discovered in the United States in 1750 explorer Thomas Walker
discovered coal in what would become Kentucky and used it to heat his camp fire. Although his discovery
came in the Eastern Coalfield it would be another 150 years before commercial coal production occurred there.
In 1820 the first commercial coal mine in Kentucky opened in the Western Coalfield in Muhlenberg County.
In its first year the mine produced 328 tons of coal. By 1843 the state produced 100,000 tons of coal produced,
and by 1879 the state produced one million tons of coal, all coming from the Western Coalfield.
In 1900 the first commercial coal was opened in the Eastern Coalfield in the community of Betsy Lane
in Floyd County. As of the year 2001 8.36 billion tons of coal have been extracted from Kentucky, 5.78 billion
tons coming from the Eastern Coalfield and 2.58 billion tons coming from the Western Coalfield. As of 2004
around 13% of total coal reserves have been extracted from the Western Coalfield, although much of the
remaining 87% of reserves are not reachable with current technology. Around 19% of coal reserves have been
extracted from the Eastern Coalfield
While comparably higher in sulfur content, the Eastern Kentucky coal
does have a higher carbon density than Wyoming coal, so less of it has to be burned to produce the
same amount of electricity, thus producing less per capita carbon dioxide emissions. Eastern coal remains
widely used across the United States.
