Coal Products

Steel & Construction

With a range of premium metallurgical carbon-based products, Core Natural Resources is an essential link in the world’s steel value chain. Our metallurgical coals are a critical ingredient for the construction of an increasingly vertical and high-speed society, both here in the United States and overseas.

By providing a range of coal qualities and blends, Core Natural Resources serves a more diverse customer base across multiple growth markets and geographies. For example, blast furnace steel constitutes 70% of the world’s steel output, and our metallurgical coal is a key input in the production of new steel from blast furnaces. This essential need is expected to remain in strong demand for decades to come, as steel will be required to support the world’s growing population, ongoing economic development, continued urbanization, and even the build-out of a low-carbon economy.

Industrial Applications & Power Generation

Core’s high calorific value thermal coals continue to be increasingly sought after in a variety of industrial markets and end-use applications, including power generation, cement and brick production, and other industrial uses. In fact, thermal coal consumption and exports are expected to reach unprecedented levels in 2024, driven by rising demand in emerging markets. From a long-range perspective, the overall use of coal around the world has increased by roughly 55% over the last two decades.

Today, electrification, AI, and the growing demand for data centers are driving an enormous need for increased power generation.

Aerospace & Advanced Materials

At Core Natural Resources, we see coal as a unique, complex, carbon-based material with unlimited potential to transform our society—for a second time. In fact, we are on a mission to reimagine and repurpose the power of coal and other carbon resources.

At Core, we believe the Earth’s abundant carbon resources can continue to play a vital role in meeting the basic, but sizable, needs of billions of people around the world. Through our wholly owned subsidiary, CONSOL Innovations, we are utilizing coal’s unique chemistry to innovate high-performance, advanced materials for aerospace, military, energy storage, building materials, and other high-technology applications, propelling our modern society into greater efficiencies and levels of sustainability.
