Use cases

Coal Asset Footprint Mapping for Energy Sector Lenders

Vendor Due Diligence for Coal Supply Chain Counterparties

A procurement team at a steel manufacturer vetting a metallurgical coal supplier cross-references the supplier's legal entity name against BLM coal case records to confirm the company holds active federal leases in the claimed operating states, and flags any cases in pending or lapsed disposition that could signal supply disruption risk.

Beneficial Ownership and Operator Role Verification for KYB Screening
