Fossil fuel production in the United States is set to hit record levels in 2023 due to increased efficiency and higher prices The combined production of coal, natural gas, and oil rose in 2021 following a decline the year before While coal production did fall in 2021, it is expected to grow again in both 2022 and 2023 America’s production of fossil fuels is expected to hit a record high in 2023, as continued improvements in drilling efficiency in oil and gas and high enough oil prices will support increased output of all fossil fuels, including coal, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Friday. The combined production of fossil fuels—natural gas, crude oil, and coal—rose in 2021 by 2 percent to 77.14 quadrillion British thermal units, following a decline in 2020, when the pandemic hit.
