Since 1937, Blaschak Anthracite has been at the forefront of the Anthracite industry, leading with technology, mining and land reclamation innovations.
The Anthracite Advantage
Anthracite is one of nature’s cleanest-burning solid fossil fuels and carbon sources. A specialty mineral, anthracite is cleaner and harder than other forms of coal and offers the highest heat value of all coals.
Since its discovery in Eastern Pennsylvania in 1769, anthracite has been meeting the needs of industrial users worldwide while at the same time providing clean, affordable heat for homes and schools.
Anthracite has proven to be an economically and environmentally friendly solution for two centuries – and demand is growing.
Getting Back to Nature
At Blaschak, once mining operations are completed, the land is reclaimed and restored to its natural condition. We plant grass and trees. Wildlife returns. Some reclaimed mines have been converted into new wilderness parks or areas for recreation, and others become the foundation for new housing or retail development. In the last twenty years, Blaschak has mined, day-lighted and reclaimed more than one thousand acres of abandoned anthracite coal mines.

Commercial & Industrial Use
As alternative sources of heat and process carbon have become more expensive, and metallurgical coal supplies have had difficulty meeting the needs of the market, attention is turning once again to anthracite as an energy and carbon source.
Blaschak Anthracite is uniquely positioned to serve as a global supplier of anthracite coal, with rail access to East Coast ports.
