This aggregator organizes the screens below it. It does not collect evaluation data and does not have a blended inclusion or exclusion list. Open an evaluated screen to review the exact decision boundary.

Screens in this group

evaluated

Thermal Coal Mining

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate mines producing thermal or steam coal primarily intended for electricity generation, industrial heat, or other combustion uses. The screen includes active extraction and development of new thermal-coal mines and excludes metallurgical-coal-only operations, trading or processing without mine ownership or operation, power generation without mining, generic mining services, and fully closed or divested mines.

6 included · 6 excluded

evaluated

Coal-Fired Power Generation

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate electricity-generating assets that combust coal as a material fuel, including dedicated coal plants, diversified utilities with active coal capacity, and captive industrial generation. The factual screen records active or committed coal-generating capacity; portfolio thresholds, phase-out dates, expansion tests, and de minimis co-firing rules are client-policy overlays. Mining, trading, equipment supply, minimal incidental coal use, and fully retired assets are excluded.

evaluated

Coal Processing, Trading and Dedicated Logistics

Identifies companies and other entities that process, wash, blend, market, trade, import, export, store, terminal-handle, or provide dedicated transport for coal as a commercial commodity without requiring mine ownership. The coal type and use—thermal, metallurgical, or mixed—must be recorded where available. Mining, coal-fired generation, generic freight without coal specialization, equipment supply, internal end-use consumption, and ceased activities are excluded.

7 included · 6 excluded

evaluated

Coal Reserves

Identifies companies and other entities that own or control economically recognized coal reserves or resources, mineral rights, concessions, or undeveloped coal deposits through direct ownership or extractive rights. Reserve or resource classification, thermal-versus-metallurgical composition, development status, and ownership basis must be recorded as evidence attributes. Mere exploration without an established economic resource or right, passive financial exposure, service provision, and fully divested or written-off assets are excluded.
