"Peabody believes that coal is a key contributor to affordable, reliable energy and fossil fuels will continue to play a significant role in the global energy mix. The company also recognizes that these fuels contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and concern regarding these emissions has become part of the global political, societal and regulatory landscape in which we operate.

Greater use of technology can help meet the world's need for energy security, economic growth and environmental solutions through high-efficiency low emissions coal-fueled power plants today and research and development funding for carbon capture over time.

As outlined in our position statement on energy and climate, Peabody will continue to reduce our carbon footprint and promote the development and deployment of low-carbon technologies.  More information is available in our Corporate and Social Responsibility Report at PeabodyEnergy.com."
