all transactions may not necessarily be marketed, and marketed renewable energy inputs for electricity entering the marketplace

on the electric power grid. Excludes electricity imports; see Table 2. Actual heat rates used to determine fuel consumption

for all renewable fuels except hydropower, geothermal, solar, and wind. Consumption at hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, and

wind facilities is determined by using the fossil fuel equivalent of 9,716 Btu per kilowatthour.

 2/ Includes combined heat and power plants that have a non-regulatory status, and small on-site generating systems.

 3/ Includes municipal waste, landfill gas, and municipal sewage sludge. All municipal waste is included, although a

portion of the municipal waste stream contains petroleum-derived plastics and other non-renewable sources.

 4/ Excludes motor gasoline component of E85.

 5/ Renewable feedstocks for the on-site production of diesel and gasoline.

 6/ Includes consumption of energy by electricity-only and combined heat and power plants that have a regulatory status.

 7/ Includes biogenic municipal waste, landfill gas, and municipal sewage sludge. Incremental growth is assumed

to be for landfill gas facilities. Only biogenic municipal waste is included. The U.S. Energy Information Administration

estimates that in 2012 approximately .3 quadrillion Btus were consumed from a municipal waste stream

containing petroleum-derived plastics and other non-renewable sources. See U.S. Energy Information Administration,

Methodology for Allocating Municipal Solid Waste to Biogenic and Non-Biogenic Energy, (Washington, DC, May 2007).

 8/ Includes selected renewable energy consumption data for which the energy is not bought or sold, either

directly or indirectly as an input to marketed energy. The U.S. Energy Information Administration does not

estimate or project total consumption of nonmarketed renewable energy.

 - - = Not applicable.

 Btu = British thermal unit.

 Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Data for 2011

and 2012 are model results and may differ from official EIA data reports.
