Ventyx Releases 2009 U.S. Coal Industry Map


Ventyx®, the world’s largest private software, data and advisory services provider to the energy and utility industry, today announced the release of the new 2009 U.S. Coal Industry Map, providing the industry’s most comprehensive view of this vital sector of the U.S. energy industry.

Utilizing data from the industry-leading Ventyx Velocity Suite energy intelligence solution, the 2009 U.S. Coal Industry Map is designed to help customers better understand in geographic terms where coal is produced, where it is consumed and how it is transported.


“In many ways, coal sits at the center of the key issues challenging the energy industry today,” said Will Dailey, executive VP, Ventyx Energy Data, Intelligence & Advisory. “The coal industry has a lot at stake in the outcome of issues like cap and trade, state and federal renewable portfolio standards and the formulation of market rules around wind integration. And, certain regions will be affected more than others. Our U.S. Coal Industry Map provides the definitive picture of the industry and can provide answers to complex questions at a glance.”

The 2009 U.S. Coal Industry Map is a beautifully rendered 48-inches-by-92-inches, presentation-quality, full-color wall map including the following features:
