Empowering the Future of Coal
Welcome to The Coal Institute
Join us in our mission to educate, promote, and support the coal industry, to help build a sustainable and informed future
The Coal Institute, originally established as the North Carolina Coal Institute (NCCI), was founded in the spring of 1946 by coal representatives from the Eastern United States. Later that year, the organization adopted its By-laws, and on November 13, 1946, received its corporate charter from the Honorable Thad Eure, Secretary of State of North Carolina.
Over time, membership expanded beyond coal producers to include representatives from railroads, coal-consuming facilities, industrial and utility sectors, manufacturers of coal-burning and handling equipment, and coal-related service companies. Today, The Coal Institute proudly represents a global membership, united in its support of the coal industry.
