The chief executive of St. Louis-based Arch Coal says he expects the U.S. coal industry to continue to increase its share of the global coal market. The U.S. share of metallurgical coal shipped by sea has grown from 10% in 2003 to 24% this year. Arch CEO John Eaves said at an energy conference in Houston on Wednesday he thinks that share of the international market will keep growing. He also predicts to see increase international demand for coal to fire power plants. Arch has two coal mines in northeast Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Eaves says Powder River Basin coal is 1 of the most economical fuels in the U.S. and internationally.
