[Bracketed numbers indicate total page counts. These are provided to aid identification for the work.]
The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a source of information to assist decision makers,
land and resource managers, other Federal and State agencies, the domestic energy industry, foreign
governments, nongovernmental groups, academia, and other scientists making decisions in the face
of rapid energy development in the U.S. This document attempts to encompass the most relevant
literature that will help serve as a foundation on which to appropriately understand the complexities of
coal utilization. Since the early 1970s, the U.S. Geological Survey has been involved in evaluations of
data collected from various coal utilization and power plant-related studies. The publications in this
bibliography cover the last 50+ years and include many past, unique, and current studies involving coal
utilization. Subject material ranges from utilization of coal to disposal of coal combustion products (CCPs)
with topics on new technology and regulations. These references were compiled as a source of associated
material for this Data Series—Geochemical database of feed coal and coal combustion products (CCPs)
from five power plants in the United States: consisting of major-, minor-, and trace- element contents,
proximate and ultimate analyses, forms of sulfur, calorific values, ash fusion temperatures, mineralogy,
petrological data, and selected coal utilization references.
