a Total vegetable oil and other biomass inputs to the production of biodiesel. b Losses and co-products from the production of biodiesel. Does not include natural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the production of biodiesel—these are included in the industrial sector consumption statistics for the appropriate energy source.

c Net imports equal imports minus exports. d Stocks are at end of period. e A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates an increase.

f Beginning in 2009, because of incomplete data coverage and different data sources, “Balancing Item” is used to balance biodiesel supply and disposition.

g Derived from the preliminary December 2009 stocks value (506 thousand barrels), not the final December 2009 value (711 thousand barrels) that is shown under “Stocks.” NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu. Notes: •Mbbl = thousand barrels. MMgal = million U.S. gallons. TBtu = trillion Btu. •Biodiesel data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by multiplying by 0.042, and are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.359 million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of biodiesel—see Table A3). •Through 2000, data are not available. Beginning in 2001, data not from U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) surveys are estimates. •Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. •Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
