Coal will continue to form the backbone of the world’s energy supply, and Peabody will continue to advance coal conversion technologies to fuel the future energy needs of the world.  Peabody sees promise in coal gasification technologies for electricity generation, liquefaction, methanation and hydrogen production.

Today’s coal mining industry is also in the business of preserving the environment.  For Peabody this means operating the mines to high environmental standards and restoring mined lands to a productive condition that provides lasting benefits.

Peabody Energy embraces the concept of sustainable development and pledges to conduct its activities in a manner that recognises the needs of society and economic prosperity, national security and a healthy environment.
