U.S. Coal Extraction Repository Updated

The National Energy Technology Laboratory Coal Extraction repository has been updated to reflect their latest published research. The repository reflects the data available in the full model, "LCA Baseline for U.S. Coal Mining and Delivery Data Products" and the accompanying NETL report "Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle Analysis Baseline for United States Coal Mining and Delivery" (DOE/NETL-2024/4846). The model accounts for emissions and energy use from coal extraction and processing from 22 unique coal type and basin combinations in the United States.
