Powder River Basin: Part One (BNSF) Not that long ago (early 21st century), as many as 100 or more coal trains per day ran into and out of the Powder River Basin. You could plant yourself anywhere along the tracks from Shawnee Junction to Donkey Creek and, during a busy hour, see 810 trains. In a "slow" hour, you might see three.
More than a million tons of publiclyowned federal coal leaves Wyoming's Powder River Basin each day, bound for power plants across the nation. It's a big part of the state's economy and the nation's energy mixbut it also takes a toll on our state. Concerns about coal development were the driving force behind the formation of the ...

Coal in the Powder River Basin. The Powder River Basin in the Red Desert stretches for more than 14 million acres from the peaks of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains to the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana. It provides premier habitat for elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, wild turkeys, and the threatened greater sagegrouse in places like Otter ...
Some coal deposits in the Powder River Basin (PRB) are considered "super compliant" by environmental requirements, with less than percent sulfur. This makes Wyoming coal an excellent "steam coal," which is highly desirable for electricity generation across the United States. More than 90 percent of the coal produced in the United ...
The coal and petroleumrich Powder River Basin also holds wind power promise. The Turners have had three test anemometers on their ranch for more than 6 years. "It's fantastic," Karen Turner ...
Coalfired power plants often utilize a specific coal quality that generators cannot easily replace with coal from other regions. While Powder River Basin coal operators have reported some success in managing costs as production footprints shrink, largescale operations have long been one of the region's primary advantages.
Examination of a fly ash derived from the combustion of a lowS, subbituminous Powder River Basin coal by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Highresolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), both supplemented by Energydispersive Xray spectroscopy (EDS), showed that the fly ashes were dominated by amorphous phases, Carich plagioclase feldspars, Mgrich phases, complex CaMgAlSi ...
The biggest coal deposit by volume is the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, which the USGS estimated to have trillion short tons of inplace coal resources, 162 billion short tons of recoverable coal resources, and 25 billion short tons of economic coal resources (also called reserves) in 2013.

The future of energy production in parts of Wyoming and Montana remains uncertain following a court ruling last week. A federal judge rejected the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) two resource management plans for the Powder River Basin, which is a region in Wyoming and Montana that produces more than 40 percent of coal.. District Judge Brian Morris said the BLM failed to properly ...
Powder River Basin coal production increased in the months of July through September, mining just shy of 61 million tons out of 12 Wyoming PRB mines, according to data from the Mine Safety...
The revised USGS assessment methodology resulted in an estimated original resource of about trillion short tons in the Powder River Basin, of which 162 billion short tons are considered recoverable resources (coal reserve base) at a stripping ratio of 10:1 or less.
GILLETTE — Coal production in the Powder River Basin saw growth in 2021 after a significant pandemicrelated setback marred the extraction industry the year before.
The Powder River Basin lies between Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains and the Black Hills of South Dakota. Thirteen active mines produce over 400 million tons of l...
When the USGS data was first compiled, in 2013, Powder River Basin coal was selling for a ton, resulting in about 23 billion tons being designated as economicallyrecoverable. With coal prices down to a ton, the reserve estimate has plummeted to just 16 billion tons, Haacke said. That's equivalent to 40 years at the current ...

The Powder River Basin is a major coalbearing geologic structure underlying southeast Montana and northeast Wyoming. The coal beds of the basin are believed to have formed around 60 million years ago. The basin spans 190km from east to west and 320km from north to south, accounting for more than 40% of the country's coal reserves.
About percent of greenhouse gas emissions come from burning Powder River Basin coal. This industry also powers a substantial portion of Wyoming's economy. In 2008, the mines directly employed more than 6,800 workers.

Today, most coal rights, including onethird of reserves, are owned by the federal government, but in the Powder River Basin, it's even more concentrated.
Powder River Basin The Powder River Basin (PRB) of Wyoming and Montanta is the largest low sulfur coal source in the nation. Eight of the ten largest mines in the United States are located in the PRB.

The results of the study show that coal fly ash created from the combustion of Powder River Basin coal holds promise as an economic source of REEs. "We have really important work going on in SER and across UW through some key collaborations," says SER's Davin Bagdonas, the lead author on the study.
Today, Federal coal produced from the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming accounts for over 85 percent of all Federal coal production. In 1920, the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) was enacted, establishing governance for coal, petroleum, natural gas, phosphates, and certain other minerals. These minerals were no longer subject to mining claims ...
