 1/ Includes wood used for residential heating. See Table 4 and/or Table 17 for estimates of nonmarketed renewable energy consumption for

geothermal heat pumps, solar thermal water heating, and electricity generation from wind and solar photovoltaic sources.

 2/ Includes ethanol (blends of 10 percent or less) and ethers blended into gasoline.

 3/ Excludes ethanol. Includes commercial sector consumption of wood and wood waste, landfill gas, municipal waste, and other biomass for

combined heat and power. See Table 5 and/or Table 17 for estimates of nonmarketed renewable energy consumption for solar thermal water

heating and electricity generation from wind and solar photovoltaic sources.

 4/ Includes energy for combined heat and power plants, except those whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat,

to the public.

 5/ Includes petroleum coke, asphalt, road oil, lubricants, still gas, and miscellaneous petroleum products.

 6/ Represents natural gas used in well, field, and lease operations, and in natural gas processing plant machinery.

 7/ Includes consumption of energy produced from hydroelectric, wood and wood waste, municipal waste, and other biomass sources. Excludes

ethanol blends (10 percent or less) in motor gasoline.

 8/ E85 refers to a blend of 85 percent ethanol (renewable) and 15 percent motor gasoline (nonrenewable). To address cold starting issues,

the percentage of ethanol varies seasonally. The annual average ethanol content of 74 percent is used for this forecast.

 9/ Includes only kerosene type.

 10/ Diesel fuel for on- and off- road use.

 11/ Includes aviation gasoline and lubricants.

 12/ Includes unfinished oils, natural gasoline, motor gasoline blending components, aviation gasoline, lubricants, still gas, asphalt, road oil,

petroleum coke, and miscellaneous petroleum products.

 13/ Includes electricity generated for sale to the grid and for own use from renewable sources, and non-electric energy from renewable sources.
Excludes ethanol and nonmarketed renewable energy consumption for geothermal heat pumps, buildings photovoltaic systems, and solar thermal

water heaters.

 14/ Includes consumption of energy by electricity-only and combined heat and power plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or

electricity and heat, to the public. Includes small power producers and exempt wholesale generators.

 15/ These values represent the energy obtained from uranium when it is used in light water reactors. The total energy content of uranium

is much larger, but alternative processes are required to take advantage of it.

 16/ Includes conventional hydroelectric, geothermal, wood and wood waste, biogenic municipal waste, other biomass, wind, photovoltaic, and

solar thermal sources. Excludes net electricity imports.

 17/ Includes non-biogenic municipal waste not included above.

 18/ Includes conventional hydroelectric, geothermal, wood and wood waste, biogenic municipal waste, other biomass, wind, photovoltaic, and

solar thermal sources. Excludes ethanol, net electricity imports, and nonmarketed renewable energy consumption for geothermal heat pumps,

buildings photovoltaic systems, and solar thermal water heaters.
