This table and previous graphics display the average (simple arithmetic mean) chemical and cost properties for Kentucky steam coal by county as reported by electric generating stations across the United States. Relative to Western Kentucky, coal mined in Eastern Kentucky between 2008 and 2011 had an 8 percent higher heat content per ton, 63 percent less sulfur, and in 2011, nominal delivered costs that were 61 percent higher per MMBtu. Since the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, demand for Eastern Kentucky coal has been, in part, driven by demand for lower sulfur coal that reduces the emission of sulfur dioxides. However, in order to comply with increasingly stringent sulfur dioxide limits, many coal-fired power plants have elected to install desulfurization equipment that enables them to burn higher sulfur and lower cost coal such as is mined in Western Kentucky. The preceding box and whisker plots summarize the range of heat or sulfur content of coal by county. The whiskers denote the minimum and maximum values for each county, while the box component represents the 25th percentile through the 75th percentile of values (or 50percent of the data). The vertical line within the box component marks the median value. 30 energy.ky.gov kentuckycoal.com
