Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Consol Energy is an energy company headquartered in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, suburb of Cecil Township, in the Southpointe complex. It is one of the US's largest coal mining companies, along with Peabody Energy and Arch Coal. The company has some 4.5 billion tons of proved reserves, mainly in northern and central Appalachia and the Illinois Basin, and produces about 65 million tons of coal annually. The company has natural gas reserves totaling 1.9 trillion cu. ft. The Consolidation Coal Company was established in 1864 and headquartered in Cumberland, Maryland, for the first 85 years (1864-1945) where the company became the largest bituminous coal company in the eastern United States. The company's origin began in the early 19th century when a 14-foot (4.3 m) thick seam of bituminous coal referred to historically as The Big Vein was discovered in the Georges Creek Valley of Western Maryland. This coal region became famous during the industrial age for its clean-burning low sulfur content that made it ideal for powering ocean steamers, river boats, locomotives, and steam mills, and machines shops.
