Ropella Industry Expertise

Coal mining goes back centuries, and the coal industry was one of the primary drivers of the industrial revolution – by providing the fuel for the steam train engines and steamships that enabled the rapid expansion of international trade. Coal has seen a bit of a decline in recent years, but technology has conquered some of the environmental and economic challenges facing the industry. More work is needed to fully retain coal’s prominent spot in the marketplace.

Currently, approximately 30% of the United States’ electricity generation is performed by coal, and this process accounts for over 90% of the country’s total coal consumption. From strip and contour mining to longwall and shortwall mining, strong technical minds are needed to continue driving technological advancement to satisfy the demands of numerous constituents, from consumers to environmental regulators.
