Atlantic Carbon Group

What Atlantic Carbon Group does

Atlantic Carbon Group, Inc. is a US-based anthracite mining and processing company headquartered in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, formed in 2016 through the merger of Coal Contractors Inc. and Hazleton Shaft Inc. and reorganized under its current name in 2020. The company operates four surface mining operations (Stockton, Hazleton Shaft, Jeansville, and Spring Mountain Mines) totaling over 2,300 acres across six Northeastern Pennsylvania counties, supported by three anthracite processing plants with a combined throughput exceeding 375 tons per hour and a joint-venture coal drying facility (Hazleton Hiller, LLC) producing charge carbon and injection carbon products.

Anthracite is extracted using surface mining techniques with hydraulic excavators, draglines, and dump trucks, then processed through heavy media preparation plants utilizing Wemco drums, Krebs cyclones, and spirals to produce anthracite in eight standardized size grades ranging from stove to #5 fine material. The product portfolio serves as a value-added input for steel manufacturing (replacing met coke in BOF, EAF, and PCI applications), large-scale water filtration, zinc refining, sugar production, and space heating. The company sells directly to industrial B2B customers via enterprise sales, leveraging rail loadout facilities at the Hazleton Shaft site for distribution.

Since June 2024, Atlantic Carbon Group has operated as a majority-owned subsidiary of Indonesia's PT BUMA Internasional Grup Tbk (BUMA International Group). Revenue is generated through one-time product transactions as a price-taker in a regional commodity market, with no disclosed pricing structure. Total owned and leased reserves are approximately 20 million run-of-mine tons, and the drying facility is currently expanding from over 150,000 tons annual capacity toward 250,000 tons. The company employs 51-100 people directly and contributes an estimated $40 million to $60 million annually to the regional Hazleton economy through direct employment, contracted services, and local supplier purchases.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Anthracite Coal High-quality anthracite coal (86-92% carbon content) with low sulfur (0.46%) and low ash (6.75%) produced from the Mammoth, Primrose, Orchard, Diamond, Tracy, and Wharton seams across four mine sites in northeastern Pennsylvania. Processed through 125-250 tph heavy media coal preparation plants producing anthracite in eight standard sizes. Sold to industrial customers for use as a reducing agent in steel manufacturing, water filtration media, zinc refining, sugar production, and space heating.
• Charge Carbon and Injection Carbon Products Dried anthracite-based carbon products produced by Hazleton Hiller, LLC (a joint venture between Atlantic Carbon Group and Hiller Carbon) using a coal drying facility that operates at temperatures over 800 degrees to remove moisture content. Used as charge carbon and injection carbon in steel and foundry industries. Current processing capacity of over 150,000 tons per year, with expansion to 250,000 tons per year underway.
