The Metallurgical Coal Producers Association (formerly the Virginia Coal & Energy Alliance) is a non-profit organization made up of metallurgical coal producers and those who support our producing members’ operations. Our emphasis is on metallurgical coal, the issues related to it, and the opportunities metallurgical coal brings to our region. Further, our region is our collective strength. The association actively advocates and promotes the metallurgical coal industry in the eastern U.S., specifically Central Appalachia.
