Management Comments " In the third quarter of 2021 , customer demand remained strong , and we generated nearly $ 35 million in free cash flow¹ , while reducing our absolute debt levels by $ 18 million , ” said Jimmy Brock , President and Chief Executive Officer of CONSOL Energy Inc. “ Additionally , we are very excited by our recently announced direct - operating greenhouse gas emission reduction targets , aiming to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50 % by 2026 , compared to baseline 2019 levels , and be net zero by 2040. The third quarter is typically a seasonally weak quarter due to planned maintenance shutdowns , and the Pennsylvania Mining Complex ( PAMC ) also encountered several operational issues and transportation delays that limited production to 5.3 million tons in the third quarter of 2021. Nevertheless , demand for our product remains robust , and due to the strength in both the domestic and international coal markets , we are pleased to announce that we have restarted development for the fifth longwall at the PAMC to capture upside potential . During the third quarter of 2021 , we successfully secured new contracted business across 2022 and 2023. Progress on the Itmann preparation plant continues and remains on schedule and on budget , positioning us for additional upside in 2022. " " On the safety front , our Enlow Fork Mine , Bailey Preparation Plant , CONSOL Marine Terminal ( CMT ) and Itmann project each had ZERO employee recordable incidents during the third quarter of 2021. Our year - to - date total recordable incident rate at the PAMC continues to track significantly and consistently below the national average for underground bituminous coal mines . "
