Let's see, Montana has 50 billion short tons of low sulfur coal,
Wyoming has 25 billion. Utah? 1/4 billion short tons. Yup, it's

There is low sulphur and extreme Low Sulphur called Super Compiant

President Clinton locks up major US coal deposit. In a pre-election
move, President Clinton has created a controversial National Monument,
which locks in an estimated **7 billion tonnes** of low-sulfur coal,
said to be worth up to US$ 1000 billion. The 700,000 hectare Grand
Staircase-Escalante National Monument in the Utah desert includes coal
leases which were to become a 6000 hectare underground mine exporting to
East Asia. The leases, on Federal Government land, are not revoked but
the new designation means that Washington will impose restrictions which
prevent mining. A Republican Senator lamented that the President was
locking up the most environmentally benign coal in the USA. The action
did not require Congressional approval. AFR 20/9/96

Frankly, I prefer the governments estimates.
