UK Coal has 3 pits left, Daw Mill, Thoresby and Kellingley.
Powerfuel, owned Hatfield Colliery. This pit is experimenting with carbon capture (clean coal) with a power station nearby already having been granted planning permission.
However, they needed more funds and was brought out by a Dutch firm, who will now reap the profits of clean coal in England. I believe a Russian firm is still involved as well.
