Longwall mining Global Energy Monitor
Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 12 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 34 km long and 250400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.
