# Monthly Energy Review

The Monthly Energy Review ( MER ) is the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) primary report of recent and historical energy statistics. Included are statistics on total energy production, consumption, trade, and energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and internati onal petroleum; carbon dioxide emissions; and data unit conversions. Release of the MER is in keeping with respons ibilities given to EIA in Public Law 95–91 (Department of Energy Organization Act), which states, in part, in Section 205(a)(2):“The Administrator shall be responsible for carrying out a central, comprehensive, and unified energy data and informa tion program which will collect, evaluate, assemble, analyze, and disseminate data and information....” The MER is intended for use by Members of Congress, Federal and State agencies, energy analysts, and the general public. EIA welcomes suggestions from readers regarding the content of the MER and other EIA publications. Related Monthly Publications: Other monthly EIA reports are Petroleum Supply Monthly , Petroleum Marketing Monthly , Natural Gas Monthly , Electric Power Monthly , and International Petroleum Monthly . For more information, contact the National Energy Information Center at 202-586-8800 or infoctr@eia.gov. 

# Important Notes About the Data Data Displayed: For tables beginning in 1973, some annual data (usually 1974, 1976-1979, 1981-1984, 1986-1989, and 1991-1994) are not shown in the tables in Portable Document Format (PDF) files; however, all annual data are shown in the Excel and comma-separated values (CSV) files. Also, only two to three years of monthly data are displayed in the PDF files; however, for many series, monthly data beginning with January 1973 are available in the Excel and CSV files. Comprehensive Changes: Each month, most MER tables and figures carry a new month of data, which is usually preliminary (and sometim es estimated or even fo recast) and likely to be revised in the succeeding month. Annual Data From 1949: The emphasis of the MER is on recent monthly and annual data trends. Analysts may wish to use the data in this report in conjunction with EIA’s Annual Energy Review ( AER ) that offers annual data beginning in 1949 fo r many of the data series found in the MER. The AER is available at http://www.eia.gov/aer.



# Electronic Access The MER is available on EIA’s website in a variety of formats at http://www.eia.gov/mer.
 Full report and sections: PDF files
 Report tables: PDF files
 Table data (unrounded): Excel and CSV files
 Graphs: PDF files Note: PDF files display selected annual and monthly data; Excel and CSV files display all available annual and monthly data, often at a greater level of precision than the PDF files. Timing of Release: The MER is posted on the EIA website by the last work day of the month at http://www.eia.gov/mer/.

Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature u sed as an index for heating and cooling energy requirements. Heating d egree-days are the number of degrees that the daily average temperature f alls below 65° F. Cooling degree-days are the number of degrees that the d aily average temperature rises above 65° F. The daily average temperature i s the mean of the maximum and minimum temperatures in a 24-hour period. F or example, a weather station recording an average daily temperature of 40° F would report 25 heating degree-days for that day (and 0 cooling d egree-days). If a weather station recorded an average daily temperature of 7 8° F, cooling degree-days for that station would be 13 (and 0 heating degree d ays).

Sources: There are several degree-day databases maintained by th e National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The information publishe d here is developed by the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Cente r, Camp Springs, MD. The data are available weekly with monthly summarie s and are based on mean daily temperatures recorded at about 200 maj or weather stations around the country. The temperature information recorde d at those weather stations is used to calculate statewide degree-day average s based on population. The State figures are then aggregated into Censu s Divisions and into the national average. The population weights current ly used represent resident State population data estimated for the 2000 Censu s by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The da ta provided here are available sooner than the Historical Climatology Series 5 -1 (heating degree-days) developed by the National Climatic Data Cente r, Asheville, NC, which compiles data from some 8,000 weather stations.

# Energy Overview

Note. Merchandise Trade Value . Imports data presented are based on the customs values. Those values do not include insurance and freight and are consequently lower than the cost, insura nce, and freight ( CIF 

## ) values, which are also reported by the Bureau of the Census. All exports data, and imports data prior to 1981, are on a free alongside ship (f.a.s.) basis. “Balance” is exports minus imports; a positive balance indicates a surplus trade value and a negative balance indicates a deficit trade value. “Energy” includes mineral fuels, lubricants, and related material. “Non-Energy Balance” 

## and “Total Merchandise” include foreign exports (i.e., re-exports) and nonmonetary gol d and U.S. Department of Defense Grant-Aid shipments. The “Non-Energy Balance” is calculated by subtracting the “Energy” from the “Total Merchandise Balance.” “Imports” consist of government and nongovernment shipments of merchandise into the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Foreign Trade Zones. They reflect the total arrival from foreign countries of merchandise that immediately entered consumption channels, warehouses, the Foreign Trade Zones, or the Strate gic Petroleum Reserve. They exclude shipments between the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. possessions, shipments to U.S. Armed Forces and diplomatic missions abroad for their own use, U.S. goods returned to the United States by its Armed Forces, and in-transit shipments.

d Does not include biofuels that have been blended with petroleum—biofuels a re included in "Biomass."

e Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and, b eginning in 1996, other energy service providers.

f Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric p ower sector minus the energy content of electricity retail sales. Total losses are a llocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sector’s share of total electricity retail sales. See Note 2, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of section.

g Beginning in 1978, the small amounts of coal consumed for transportation a re reported as industrial sector consumption.

# Energy Consumption by Sector Note 1. Energy Consumption Data and Surveys. Most of the data in this section of the Monthly Energy Review ( MER ) are developed from a group of energy-related surveys, typically called "supply surveys," conducted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Supply surveys are directed to supplie rs and marketers of specific energy sources. They measure the quantities of specific energy sources produced, or the quantities supplied to the market, or both. The data obtained from EIA's supply surveys are integrated to yi eld the summary consumption statistics published in this section (and in Section 1) of the MER. Users of EIA's energy consumption statistics should be aware of a second group of energy-related surveys, typically called "consumption surveys." Consumption surveys gather information on the types of energy consumed by end users of energy, along with the characteristics of those end users that can be associated with en ergy use. For example, the Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey belongs to the consumption survey group becau se it collects information directly from end users (the manufacturing establishments). There are important differences between the supply and consumption surveys that need to be taken into account in any analysis that uses both data sources. For information on those differences, see Energy Consumption by End-Use Sector, A Comparison of Measures by Consumption and Supply Surveys , DOE/EIA-0533, U.S. Energy Information Administration, Washington, DC, April 6, 1990. Note 2. Electrical System Energy Losses. Electrical system energy losses are calculated as the difference between total primary consumption by the electric powersector (see Table 2.6) and the total energy content of electricity retail sales (s ee Tables 7.6 and A6). Most of these losses occur at steam-electric power plants (conventional and nuclear) in the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy to turn electric generators. The loss isa thermodynamically necessary feature of the steamelectric cycle. Part of the energy input-to-output losses is a result of imputing fossil energy equivalent inputs for hydroelectric and other energy sources, since there is no generally accepted practice for measuring those thermal conversion rates. In addition to conversion losses, other losses include power plant use of electricity, transmissionand distribution of electricity from power plants to enduse consumers (also called "line losses"), and unaccounted for electricity. Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sector's share of total electricity sales. Overal l, about two thirds of total energy input is lost in conver sion. Currently, of electricity generated, approximately 5 percent is lost in plant use and 7 percent is lost in transmission and distribution.

Note 1. Petroleum Survey Respondents. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses a number of sources and methods to maintain the survey respondent lists. On a regular basis, survey managers review such industry publications as the Oil & Gas Journal and Oil Daily for information on facilities or companies starting up or closing down operations. Those sources are augmented by articles in newspapers, communications from respondents indicating changes in status, and info rmation received from survey systems. To supplement routine frames maintenance and to providemore thorough coverage, a comprehensive frames investigation is conducted every 3 years. This investigation results in the reassessment and recompilation of the complete frame for each survey. The effort also includes the evaluation of the impact of potential frame changes on the historical time series of data from these respondents. The results of this frame study are usually implemented in January to provide a full year under the same frame.In 1991, EIA conducted a frame identifier survey of companies that produce, blend, store, or import oxygenates. A summary of the results from the identification survey was published in the Weekly Petroleum Status Report dated February 12, 1992, and in the February 1992 issue of the Petroleum Supply Monthly . In order to continue to provide relevant information about U.S. and regional gasoline supply, EIA conducted a second frame identifier survey of those companies during 1992. As a result, numerous respondents were added to the monthly surveys effective in January 1993. See Petroleum Supply Monthly ( PSM ), Appendix B, “Frame.” Note 2. Motor Gasoline. Beginning in January 1981, EIA expanded its universe to include non-refinery blenders and separated blending components from finished motor gasoline as a reporting category. Also, survey forms were modified to describe refinery operations more accurately. Beginning with the reporting of January 1993 data, EIA made adjustments to the product supplied series for finished motor gasoline. It was recognized that motor gasolinestatistics published by EIA through 1992 were underreported because the reporting sy stem was (1) not collecting all fuel ethanol blending, and (2) there was a misreporting of motor gasoline blending components that were blended into finished gasoline. The adju stments are incorporated into EIA’s data beginning in Janua ry 1993. To facilitate data analysis across the 1992–1993 period, EIA prepared a table of 1992 data adjusted according to the 1993 basis. See Petroleum Supply Monthly , March 1993, Table H3. Note 3. Distillate and Residual Fuel Oils. The requirement to report crude oil in pipelines or burned on leases as either distillate or residual fuel oil was eliminated. Prior to January 1981, the refinery input of unfinished oils typically exceeded the available supply of unfinished oils.That discrepancy was assumed to be due to the redesignation of distillate and residual fu el oils received as such but used as unfinished oil inputs by the receiving refinery. The imbalance between supply and disposition of unfinished oils would then be subtracted from the production of distillate and residual fuel oils. Two-thirds of that difference was subtracted from distillate and one-third from residual. Beginning in January 1981, EIA modified its survey forms to account for redesignated product and discontinued the above-mentioned adjustment. Prior to 1983, crude oil burned on leases and used at pipeline pump stations was reported as either distillate or residual fuel oil and was included as product supplied for these products. Note 4. Petroleum New Stock Basis. In January 1975, 1979, 1981, and 1983, numerous respondents were added to bulk terminal and pipeline surveys, affecting subsequent stocks reported and stock change calculations. Using the expanded coverage (new basis) , the end-of-year stocks, in million barrels, would have been: Crude Oil: 1982—645 (Total) and 351 (Non-SPR). Distillate Fuel Oil: 1974—224; 1980—205; and 1982—186. Jet Fuel (Total): 1974—30; 1980—42; and 1982—39. Liquefied Petroleum Gases: 1974—113; 1978—136; 1980—128; and 1982—102. Propane and Propylene: 1978—86; 1980—69; and 1982—57. Motor Gasoline (Total): 1974—225; 1980—263; 1982—244. Residual Fuel Oil: 1974—75; 1980—91; and 1982—69. Total Petroleum: 1974—1,121; 1980—1,425; and 1982—1,461. Stock change calculations beginning in 1975, 1979, 1981, and 1983 were made by using new basis stock levels. In January 1984, changes were made in the reporting of natural gas liquids. As a result, unfractionated stream is now reported on a component basis (ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and pentanes plus). This change affects stocks reported and stock change calculations. Under the new basis, 1983 end-of-year stocks, in million barrels, would have been 108 for liquefied petroleum gases, and 55 for propane and propylene. In January 1993, changes were made in the monthly surveys to begin collecting bulk terminal and pipeline stocks of oxygenates. This change affected stocks reported and stock change calculations. However, a new basis stock level was not calculated for 1992 end-of-year stocks. Note 5. Stocks of Alaskan Crude Oil. Stocks of Alaskan crude oil in transit were included for the first time in January 1981. The major impact of this change is on the 60 U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010

## reporting of stock change calculations. Using the expanded coverage (new basis), 1980 e nd-of-year stocks, in million barrels, would have been 488 (Total) and 380 (Non-SPR). Note 6. Petroleum Data Discrepancies. Due to differences internal to EIA data pr ocessing systems, some small discrepancies exist between data in the Monthly Energy Review ( MER ) and the Petroleum Supply Annual ( PSA ) and Petroleum Supply Monthly ( PSM ). The data that havediscrepancies are footnoted in Section 3 tables. The corresponding PSA/PSM values, in thousand barrels per day, are: Natural Gas Plant Liquids Production, 1976: 1,603; Total Exports, 1979: 472; Petroleum Products Exports, 1979: 237; and SPR Crude Oil Imports, 1978: 162. Note 7. Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption. Total petroleum products supplied is the sum of the products supplied for each petroleum product,crude oil, unfinished oils, and gasoline blending components. For each of these, except crude oil, product supplied is calculated by adding refinery production, natural gas plant liquids production, new supply of other liquids, imports, and stock withdrawals, and subtracting stock additions, refinery inputs, and exports. Crude oil product supplied is the sum of crude oil burned on leases and at pipeline pump stations as reported on Form EIA-813, “Monthly Crude Oil Report.” Prior to 1983, crude oil burned on leases and used at pipeline pump stations was reported as either distillate or residual fuel oil and was included as product supplied for these products. Petroleum product supplied (see Tables 3.5 and 3.6) is anapproximation of petroleum consumption and is synonymous with the term “Petroleum Consumption” in Tables 3.7a-c and 3.8a-c.


# Tables 3.7a–3.7c Sources Petroleum consumption data in these tables are derived from data for “petroleum products supplied” from the following sources: 1973

. Energy-use allocation procedures by individual product are as follows: Asphalt and Road Oil —All consumption of asphalt and road oil is assigned to the industrial sector. Aviation Gasoline —All consumption of aviation gasoline is assigned to the transportation sector. Distillate Fuel Oil —Distillate fuel oil consumption is assigned to the sectors as follows: Distillate Fuel Oil Consumed by the Electric Power Sector —See sources for Table 7.4b. For 1973–1979, electric utility consumption of distillate fuel oil is assumed to be the amount of petroleum (minus small amounts of kerosene and kerosene-type jet fuel deliveries) consumed in gas turbine and internal combustion plants. For 1980–2000, electric utility consumption of distillate fuel oil is assumed to be the amount of light oil (fuel oil nos. 1 and 2, plus small amounts of kerosene and jet fuel) consumed. Distillate Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors, Annually —The aggregate end-use amount is total distillate fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric power sector. The end-use total consumed annually is allocated into the individual end-use sectors (residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each sector’s share of sales as reported in EIA's Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales ( Sales ) report series (DOE/EIA-0535), which is based primarily on data collected by Form EIA-821, “Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report” (previously Form EIA-172). Shares for the current year are based on the most recent Sales report. Following are notes on the individual sector groupings: Since 1979, the residential se ctor sales total is directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares. Since 1979, the commercial sector sales total is directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares. Since 1979, the industrial sector sales total is the sum of the sales for industrial, farm, oil company, off-highway diesel, and all other uses. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares, and this estimated industrial portion is added to oil company, off-highway diesel, and all other uses. The transportation sector sales total is the sum of the sales for railroad, vessel bunkering, on-highway diesel, and military uses for all years. Distillate Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors, Monthly —Residential sector and commercial sector monthly consumption is estimated by allocating the annual estimates, which are described above, into the months in proportion to each month's share of the year's sales of No. 2 heating oil. (For each month of the current year, the residential and commercial consumption increase
U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010 61

## from the same month in the previous year is based on the percent increase in that month’s No. 2 heating oil sales from the same month in the previous year.) The years’ No. 2 heating oil sales totals are from the following sources: for 1973



# – 1980, the Ethyl Corporation, Monthly Report of Heating Oil Sales ; for 1981 and 1982, the American Petroleum Institute, Monthly Report of Heating Oil Sales ; and for 1983 forward, EIA, Form EIA-782A, "Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report," No. 2 Fuel Oil Sales to End Users and for Resale. The transportation highway use portion is allocated into the months in proportion to each month's share of the year's total sales for highway use as reported by the Federal Highway Administration's Table MF-25, "Private and Commercial Highway Use of Special Fuels by Months." After 1993, the sales-for-highway-use data are no longer available as a monthly series; the 1993 data are used for allocating succeeding year's totals into months. A distillate fuel oil “balance” is calculated as total distillate fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric power sector, residential sector, commercial sector, and for highway use. Industrial sector monthly consumption is estimated by multiplying each month’s distillate fuel oil “balance” by the annual industrial consumption share of the annual distillate fuel oil “balance.” Total transportation sector monthly consumption is estimated as total distillate fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the residential, commercial, industrial, and electric power sectors. Jet Fuel —Through 1982, small amounts of kerosene-type jet fuel were consumed by the electric power sector. Kerosene-type jet fuel deliverie s to the electric power sector as reported on Form FERC-423 (formerly Form FPC-423) were used as estimates of this consumption. Through 2004, all remaining jet fuel (kerosene-type and naphtha-type) is consumed by the transportation sector. Beginning in 2005, kerosene-type jet fuel is consumed by the transportation sector, while naphtha-type jet fuel is classified under “Other Petroleum Products,” which is assigned to the industrial sector. Kerosene —Kerosene product supplied is allocated into the individual end-use sectors (residential, commercial, and industrial) in proportion to each sector’s share of sales as reported in EIA's Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales ( Sales ) report series (DOE/EIA-0535), which is based primarily on data collected by Form EIA-821, “Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report” (previously Form EIA-172). Since 1979, the residential sector sales total is directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's sales category called "heating" is split into residential, commercial, and industrial in proportion to the 1979 shares. Since 1979, the commercial sector sales total is directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's salescategory called "heating" is split into residential, commercial, and industrial in proportion to the 1979 shares. Since 1979, the industrial sector sales total is the sum of the sales for industrial, farm, and all other uses. Prior to 1979, each year's sales category ca lled "heating" is split into residential, commercial and industrial in proportion to the 1979 shares, and this estimated industrial (including farm) portion is added to all other uses. Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) —The annual shares of LPG's total consumption that are estimated to be used byeach sector are applied to each month's total LPG consumption to create monthly sector consumption estimates. The annual sector shares are calculated as described below. Sales of LPG to the residential and commercial sectors combined are converted from thousand gallons per year to thousand barrels per year and are assumed to be the annual consumption of LPG by the combined sectors. Since 2003, residential sector LPG consumption is assumed to equal propane retail sales, with the remainder of the combined residential and commercial LPG consumption being assigned to the commercial sector. Prior to 2003, residential sector LPG consumption is based on the average of the State residential shares for 2003-2008, with the remainder of the combined residential and commercial LPG cnsumption being assigned to the commercial sector. The quantity of LPG sold each year for consumption in internal combustion engines is allocated between the transportation and industrial sectors on the basis of data for special fuels used on highways published by the U.S.Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, in Highway Statistics . The allocations of LPG sold for internal combustion engine use to the transportation sector range from a low of 20 percent (in 2001) to a high of 78 percent (in 2008). LPG consumed annually by the industrial sector is estimated as the difference between LPG total product supplied andthe sum of the estimated LPG consumption by the residential, commercial, and transportation sectors. The industrial sector includes LPG used by ch emical plants as raw materials or solvents and used in the production of synthetic rubber; refinery fuel use; use as synthetic natural gas feedstock and use in secondary recovery projects; all farm use; LPG sold to gas utility companies for distribution through the mains; and a portion of the use of LPG as an internal combustion engine fuel. Sources of the annual sales data for creating annual energy shares are: 1973

## and Ethane" reports, based primarily on data collected by Form EIA-174, “Sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gases.” 1983: End-use consumption estimates for 1983 are based on 1982 end-use consumption because the collection of data under Form EIA-174 was discontinued after data year 1982. 1984 forward: American Petroleum Institute (API), "Sales of Natural Gas Liquids and Liquefied Refinery Gases," which is based on an LPG sales survey jointly sponsored by API, the Gas Processors Association, and the National Liquefied Petroleum Gas Associ ation. EIA adjusts the data to remove quantities of pentanes plus and to estimate withheld values. Lubricants —The consumption of lubricants is allocated to the industrial and transportation sectors for all months according to proportions deve loped from annual sales of lubricants to the two sectors from U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Current Industrial Reports , "Sales of Lubricating and Industrial Oils and Greases." The 1973 shares are applied to 1973 and 1974; the 1975 shares are applied to 1975 and 1976; and the 1977 shares are applied to 1977 forward. Motor Gasoline —The total monthly consumption of motorgasoline is allocated to the sectors in proportion to aggregations of annual sales categories created on the basis of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics , Tables MF-21, MF-24, and MF-25, as follows: Commercial sales are the sum of sales for public non-highway use and miscellaneous and unclassified uses. Industrial sales are the sum of sales for agriculture, construction, and industrial and commercial use as classified in the Highway Statistics. Transportation sales are the sum of sales for highway use (minus the sales of special fuels, which are primarily diesel fuel and are accounted for in the transportation sector of distillate fuel) and sales for marine use. Petroleum Coke —Portions of petroleum coke are consumed by the electric power sector (see sources for Table 7.4b) and the commercial sector (see sources for Table 7.4c). The remaining petroleum coke is assigned to the industrial sector. Residual Fuel Oil —Residual fuel oil consumption is assigned to the sectors as follows: Residual Fuel Oil Consumed by the Electric Power Sector —See sources for Table 7.4b. For 1973



# – 1979, electric utility consumption of residual fuel oil is assumed to be the amount of petroleum consumed in steam-electric power plants. For 1980



# – 2000, electric utility consumption of residual fuel oil is assumed to be the amount of heavy oil (fuel oil nos. 4, 5, and 6) consumed. Residual Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors, Annually —The aggregate end-use amount is total residual fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric power sector. The end-use total consumed annually is allocated into the individual end-use sectors (commercial, industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each sector’s share of sales as reported in EIA’s Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales ( Sales ) report series (DOE/EIA-535), which is based primarily on data collected by Form EIA-821, “Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report” (previously Form EIA-172). Shares for the current year are based on the most recent Sales report. Following are notes on the individual sector groupings: Since 1979, commercial sales data are directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal ofthe heating plus industrial category is split into commercial and industrial in proportion to the 1979 shares. Since 1979, industrial sales data are the sum of sales for industrial, oil company, and all other uses. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split into commercial and industrial inproportion to the 1979 shares, and this estimated industrial portion is added to oil company and all other uses. Transportation sales are the sum of sales for railroad, vessel bunkering, and military uses for all years. Residual Fuel Oil Consumed by the End-Use Sectors, Monthly —Commercial sector monthly consumption is estimated by allocating the annual estimates, which are described above, into the months in proportion to each month's share of the year's sales of No. 2 heating oil. (For each month of the current year, the consumption increase from the same month in the previous year is based on the percent increase in that month’s No. 2 heating oil sales from the same month in the previous year.) The years' No. 2 heating oil sales totals are from the following sources: for 1973



# – 1980, the Ethyl Corporation, Monthly Report of Heating Oil Sales ; for 1981 and 1982, the American Petroleum Institute, Monthly Report of Heating Oil Sales ; and for 1983 forward, EIA, Form EIA-782A, "Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report," No. 2 Fuel Oil Sales to End Users and for Resale. A residual fuel oil “balance” is calculated as total residual fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric power sector, commercial sector, and by industrial combined-heat-and-power plants (see sources for Table 7.4c). Transportation sector monthly consumption is estimated by multiplying each month’s residua l fuel oil “balance” by theannual transportation consumption share of the annual residual fuel oil “balance.” Total industrial sector monthly consumption is estimated as

# Natural Gas
Note 1. Natural Gas Production. Annual data—Final annual data are from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Natural Gas Annual (NGA)

. Estimated monthly data—Data for the two most recent months presented are estimated. Some of the data for earlier months are also estimated or computed. For a discussion of computation and estimation procedures, see the EIA Natural Gas Monthly ( NGM ). Preliminary monthly data—Monthly data are consideredpreliminary until after publication of the EIA NGA. Preliminary monthly data are gathered from reports to the Interstate Oil Compact Commission and the U.S. Minerals ManagementService. Volumetric data are converted, as necessary, to a standard 14.73 psi pressure base. Unless there are major changes, data are not revised until after publication of the EIA NGA. Final monthly data—Differences between annual data in the EIA NGA and the sum of preliminary monthly data (January–December) are allocated proportionally to the months to create final monthly data. Note 2. Natural Gas Extraction Loss. Extraction loss is the reduction in volume of natural gas resulting from the removal of natural gas liquid constituents at natural gas processing plants.Annual data are from the EIA NGA, where they are estimated on the basis of the type and quantity of liquid products extracted from the gas stream and the calculated volumeof such products at standard conditions. For a detailed explanation of the calculations used to derive estimated extraction losses, see the EIA NGA. Preliminary monthly data are estimated on the basis of extraction loss as an annual percentage of marketed production. This percentage is applied to each month’s marketed production to estimate monthly extraction loss. Monthly data are revised and cons idered final after the publication of the EIA NGA. Final monthly data are estimated by allocating annual extraction loss data to the months on the basis of total natural gas marketed production data from the EIA NGA. Note 3. Supplemental Gaseous Fuels. Supplemental gaseous fuels are any substances that, introduced into orcommingled with natural gas, increase the volume available for disposition. Such substances include, but are not limited to, propane-air, refinery gas, coke oven gas, still gas, manufactured gas, biomass gas, and air or inert gases added for Btu stabilization. Annual data beginning with 1980 are from the EIA NGA. Unknown quantities of supplemental gaseous fuels are included in consumption data for 1979 and earlier years.Monthly data are considered preliminary until after the publication of the EIA NGA. Monthly estimates are based on the annual ratio of supplemental gaseous fuels to the sum of dry gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals from storage. The ratio is applied to the monthly sum of the three elements to compute a monthly supplemental gaseous fuels figure. Although the total amount of supplemental gaseous fuels consumed is known for 1980 forward, the amount consumed by each energy-use sector is estimated by EIA. These estimates are used to create natural gas (without supplemental gaseous fuels) data for Tables 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.6 (note: to avoid double-counting in these tables, supplemental gaseous fuels areaccounted for in their primary energy category: “Coal,” “Petroleum,” or “Biomass”). It is assumed that supplemental gaseous fuels are commingled with natu ral gas consumed by the residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric power sectors, but are not commingled with natural gas used for lease and plant fuel, pipelines and distribution, or vehicle fuel. The estimated consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels by each sector (residential, commercial , other industrial, and electric power) is calculated as that sector’s natural gas consumption (see Table 4.3) divided by the sum of natural gas consumption by the residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric power sectors (see Table 4.3), and then multiplied by total supplemental gaseous fuels consumption (see Table 4.1). For estimated sectoral consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels in Btu, the residential, commercial, and other industrial valuesin cubic feet are multiplied by the “End-Use Sectors” conversion factors (see Table A4), an d the electric power values incubic feet are multiplied by the “Electric Power Sector” conversion factors (see Table A4). Total supplemental gaseous fuels consumption in Btu is calculated as the sum of the Btu values for the sectors. Note 4. Natural Gas Storage. Natural gas in storage at the end of a reporting period may not equal the quantityderived by adding or subtracting net injections or withdrawals from the quantity in storage at the end of the previous period. The difference is due to changes in the quantity of native gas included in the base gas and/or losses in base gas due to migration from storage reservoirs. Total underground storage capacity at the end of each calendar year since 1975 (first year data were available), in billion cubic feet, was:

* Preliminary
U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010 71

## Monthly underground storage data are collected from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Form FERC-8 (interstate data) and EIA Form EIA-191 (intrastate data). Beginning in January 1991, all data are collected on the revised Form EIA-191. Injection and withdrawal data from the FERC-8/EIA-191 survey are adjusted to correspond to data from Form EIA-176 following publication of the EIA NGA. The final monthly and annual storage and withdrawal data for 1980–2008 include both underground and liquefiednatural gas (LNG) storage. Annual data on LNG additions and withdrawals are from Form EIA-176. Monthly data are estimated by computing the ratio of each month’s underground storage additions and withdrawals to annual underground storage additions and withdrawals and applying the ratio to the annual LNG data. Note 5. Natural Gas Balancing Item. The balancing item for natural gas represents th e difference between the sum of the components of natural gas supply and the sum of components of natural gas dis position. The differences may be due to quantities lost or to the effects of data reporting problems. Reporting problems include differences due to the net result of conversions of flow data metered at varying temperature and pressure bases and converted to a standard temperature and pressure base; the effect of variations in company accounting and billing practices; differences between billing cycle and calendar period time frames; and imbalances resulting from the merger of data reporting systems that vary in scope, format, definitions, and type of respondents.The increase of 0.2 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in the “Balancing Item” category in 1983, followed by a decline of 0.5 Tcf in 1984, reflected unusually la rge differences resulting from the use of the annual billing cycle (essentially December 15 through the following December 14) consumption data in conjunction with calendar year supply data. Record cold temperatures during the last half of December 1983 resulted in a reported 0.3 Tcf increase in net withdrawals from underground storage for peak shaving as compared with the same period in 1982, but the effect of this cold weather was reflected primarily in 1984 consumption data. For underground storage data, see Table F2 in the May 1985 EIA NGM, which was published in July 1985. Note 6. Natural Gas Consumption. Consumption includes use for lease and plan t fuel, pipelines and distribution, vehicle fuel, and electr ic power plants, as well as deliveries to residential, commercial, and other industrial customers. Final data for series other than “Other Industrial CHP” and “Electric Power Sector” are fr om the EIA NGA. Monthly data are considered preliminary until after publication ofthe EIA NGA. For more detailed information on the methods of estimating preliminary and final monthly data, see the EIA NGM. Note 7. Natural Gas Consumption , 1989-1992. Prior to1993, deliveries to nonutility generators were not separately collected from natural gas companies on Form EIA176, “Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and Disposition.” As a result, for 1989 through 1992, those volumes are probably included in both the industrial and electric power sectors and double-counted in total consumption. In 1993, 0.28 trillion cubic feet was reported as delivered to nonutility generators. Note 8. Natural Gas Imports and Exports. The United States imports natural gas via pipeline from Canada and Mexico; and imports liquefied natural gas (LNG) via tanker from Algeria, Australia, Brunei, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. In addition, very small amounts of LNG arrived from Canada in 1973 (667 million cubic feet), 1977 (572 million cubic feet), and 1981 (6 million cubic feet). The United States exports natural gas via tanker to Japan, Russia, South Korea, and Spain. Also, small amounts of LNG have gone to Mexico; since 1998. Annual and final monthly data are from the annual EIA Form FPC-14, “Annual Report for Importers and Exporters of Natural Gas,” which requires data to be reported by month for the calendar year. Preliminary monthly data are EI A estimates. For a discussion of estimation procedures, see the EIA NGM. Preliminary data are revised after the publication of the EIA U.S. Imports and Exports of Natural Gas .

R=Revised. Notes: • Prior to 1990, these well counts include only the original drilling of a h ole intended to discover or further develop already discovered crude oil or natural g as resources. Other drilling activities, such as drilling an old well deeper, drilling of l aterals from the original well, drilling of service and injection wells, and drilling for r esources other than crude oil or natural gas are excluded. After 1990, a new well i s defined as the first hole in the ground whether it is lateral or not. Due to the m ethodology used to estimate ultimate well counts from the available partially r eported data, the counts shown on this page are frequently revised. See Note, "Crude Oil and Natural Gas Exploratory and Development Wells," at end of sectio n. • Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia.

a Federal and State Jurisdiction waters of the Gulf of Mexico. b All onshore. c In **two-dimensional** (2D) reflection seismic surveying both the sound source and the sound d etectors (numbering up to a hundred or more per shot) are moved along a straight line. The r esultant product can be thought of as a vertical sonic cross-section of the subsurface beneath t he survey line. It is constructed by summing many compressional (pressure) wave reflections f rom the various sound source and sound detector locations at the halfway sound path points b eneath each location (common depth point stacking). In **three-dimensional** (3D) reflection s eismic surveying the sound detectors (numbering up to a thousand or more) are spread out over a n area and the sound source is moved from location to location through the area. The resultant p roduct can be thought of as a cube of common depth point stacked reflections. Advantages o ver 2D include the additional dimension, the fact that many more reflections are available for s tacking at each point, which provides greatly improved resolution of subsurface features, and e limination of the "ghost" or "side swipe" reflections from nearby offline features that 2D surveys a re prone to (except, of course, along the outer faces of the cube). **Four dimensional** (4D) reflection seismic surveying is the exact repetition of a 3D survey at two or more time intervals

. The primary application of 4D is mapping the movement of fluid interfaces in producing oil an d gas reservoirs.

d Includes crews with unknown survey dimension. NA=Not available. Notes: • A "seismic crew" is a group of people, of varying number, engaged in a seism ic surveying job. • "48 States" is the United States excluding Alaska and Hawaii. • Data a re reported on the first and fifteenth of each month, except January when they are reported only o n the fifteenth. When semi-monthly values differ for the month, the larger of the two values is shown here. Consequently, this table reflects the maximum number of crews at work at any tim e during the month.

# Crude Oil and Natural Gas Resource Development Note. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Exploratory and Development Wells. Three well types are considered in the Monthly Energy Review ( MER ) drilling statistics: “completed for crude oil,” “completed for natural gas,” and “dry hole.” Wells that productively encounter both crude oil and natural gas are categorized as “completed for crude oil.” Both development wells and exploratory wells (new field wildcats, new pool tests, and extension tests) are included in the statistics. All other classes of wells drilled in connection with the search for producible hydrocarbons are excluded. If a lateral is drilled at the same time as the original hole it is not counted separately, but its footage is included. Prior to the March 1985 MER, drilling statistics consisted of completion data for the above types and classes of wells as reported to the American Petroleum Institute (API) during a given month. Due to time lags between the date of well completion and the date of completion reporting to the API, as-reported well completions proved to be an inaccurate indicator of drilling activity . During 1982, for example, as-reported well completions rose, while the number of actual completions fell. Consequently, the drilling statistics published since the March 1985 MER are U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates produced by statistically imputing well counts and footage based on the partial data available from th e API. These estimates are subject to continuous revision as new data, some of which pertain to earlier months a nd years, become available. Additional information about the EIA estimation methodology may be found in “Estimating Well Completions,” a feature article published in the March 1985 MER.

a Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery (coal r ecaptured from a refuse mine and cleaned to reduce the concentration of n oncombustible materials).

b Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry d am, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric p ower and industrial sectors. Beginning in 1989, waste coal supplied is counted as a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal included in
" Consumption."

c Net imports equal imports minus exports. A minus sign indicates exports are g reater than imports.

d A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks; a positive value indicates an i ncrease.

e "Losses and Unaccounted for" is calculated as the sum of production, imports, and waste coal supplied, minus exports, stock change, and consumption. f In 1973, stock change is included in "Losses and Unaccounted for." R=Revised. NA=Not available. Notes: • For methodology used to calculate production, consumption, an d stocks, see Note 1, "Coal Production," Note 2, "Coal Consumption," and Note 3, "Coal Stocks," at end of section. • Data values preceded by "F" are derived fro m the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Short-Term Integrated Forecastin g System. See Note 4, "Coal Forecast Values," at end of section. • Totals may n ot equal sum of components due to independent rounding. • Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of Columbia.

# Coal
Note 1. Coal Production. Preliminary monthly estimates of national coal production are the sum of weekly estimates developed by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and published in the Weekly Coal Production report.When a week extends into a new month, production is allocated on a daily basis and added to the appropriate month. Weekly estimates are based on Association of American Railroads (AAR) data showing the number of railcars loaded with coal during the week by Class I and certain other railroads. Prior to 2002, the weekly coal production model converted AAR data into short tons of coal by using the average number of short tons of coal per railcar loaded reported in the “Quarterly Freight Commodity Statistics” from the Surface Transportation Board. If an average coal tonnage per railcar loaded was not av ailable for a specific railroad, the national average was used. To derive the estimate of total weekly production, the total rail tonnage for the week was divided by the ratio of quarterly production shipped byrail and total quarterly production. Data for the corresponding quarter of previous years were used to derive this ratio. This method ensured that the seasonal variations were preserved in the production estimates. Beginning in 2002, the weekly coal production model uses statistical autoregressive methods to estimate national coal production as a function of railcar loadings of coal, and heating degree-days and cooling degree-days. On Thursday of each week, EIA receives from the AAR data for the previous week. The latest weekly national data for heating degree-days and cooling degree-days are obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmo spheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center. Th e weekly coal model is run and a national level coal production estimate is obtained. The weekly coal model is refit every quarter after preliminary coal data are available. When preliminary quarterly da ta become available, the monthly and weekly estimates ar e adjusted to conform to the quarterly figures. The adjustment procedure uses State-level production data and is explained in EIA's Quarterly Coal Report . Initial estimates of annual production published in January of the following year are based on preliminaryproduction data covering the first nine months (three quarters) and weekly/monthly estimates for the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter estimates may or may not be revised when preliminary data become available in March of thefollowing year, depending on the magnitude of the difference between the estimates and the preliminary data. In any event, all quarterly, monthly, and weekly production figures are adjusted to conform to the final annual production data published in the Monthly Energy Review in the fall of the following year. Note 2. Coal Consumption. Coal consumption data are reported by major end-use sector. Forecast data (designated by an “F”) are derived from forecasted values shown in the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Short-Term Energy Outlook (DOE/EIA-0202) table titled “U.S. Coal Supply and Demand: Base Case.” The monthly estimates are based on the quarterly values, which are released in March, June, September, and December. The estimates are revised quarterly as collected data become available from the data sources. Sector-speci fic information follows:Residential and Commercial—Coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors is reported to EIA for the two sectors combined; EIA estimates the amount consumed by the sectors individually. To create the estimates, it is first assumed that an occupied coal -heated housing unit consumes fuel at the same Btu rate as an oil-heated housing unit. Then, for the years in which data are available on the number of occupied housing units by heating source (1973–1981 and subsequent odd-numbered years) , residential consumption of coal is estimated by the fo llowing steps: a ratio is created of the number of occupied housing units heated by coal to the number of occupied housing units heated by oil; that ratio is then multiplied by the Btu quantity of oil consumed by the residential sector to derive an estimate of the Btu quantity of coal consumed by the residential sector; and, finally, the amount estimated as the residential sectorconsumption is subtracted from the residential and commercial sectors’ combined cons umption to derive the commercial sector’s estimated consumption. The 2007 share is applied to 2008 forward, and the other missing years’ shares are interpolated. Industrial Coke Plants—Prior to 1980, monthly coke plant consumption data were taken directly from reported data. For 1980–1987, coke plant consumption estimates were derived by proportioning reported quarterly data by using the ratios of monthly-to-quarterly consumption data in 1979,the last year in which monthly data were reported. Beginning in January 1988, monthly coke plant consumption estimates are derived from the reported quarterly data by usingmonthly ratios of raw steel production data from the American Iron and Steel Institute. The ratios are the monthly raw steel production from open hearth and basic oxygen process furnaces as a proportion of the quarterly production from those kinds of furnaces. Industrial Other—Prior to 1978, monthly consumption data for the other industrial sector (all industrial users minus coke plants) were derived by using reported data to modify baseline consumption figures from the most recent Bureau of the Census Annual Survey of Manufactures or Census of Manufactures. For 1978 and 1979, monthly estimateswere derived from data reported on Forms EIA-3 and EIA6. For 1980–1987, monthly figures were estimated by proportioning quarterly data by using the ratios of monthly-to-quarterly consumption data in 1979, the last year in which monthly data were reported on Form EIA-3. Beginning in January 1988, monthly consumption for the other industrial sector is estimated from reported quarterly data by using ratios derived from industrial production indices published by the Board of Governors of the 84 U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010

## Federal Reserve System. Indices for six major industry groups are used as the basis for calculating the ratios: food manufacturing, which is North American IndustryClassification System (NAICS) code 311; paper manufacturing, NAICS 322; chemical manufacturing, NAICS 325; petroleum and coal products, NAICS 324; non-metallic mineral products manufacturing, NAICS 327; and primary metal manufacturing, NAICS 331. The monthly ratios are computed as the monthly sum of the weighted indicesas a proportion of the quarterly sum of the weighted indices by using the 1977 proportion as the weights. Prior to 2008, quarterly consumption data for the other industrialsector were derived by adding beginning stocks at manufacturing plants to current re ceipts and subtracting ending stocks at manufacturing plants. In this calculation, current receipts are the greater of either reported receipts from manufacturing plants (Form EIA-3) or reported shipments to the other industrial sector (Form EIA-6), thereby ensuring that agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction consumption data were included where appropriate. Beginning in 2008, quarterly consumptiontotals for other industrial coal include data for manufacturing and mining only. Over time, surveyed coal consumption data for agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction dwindled to about 20,000 to 30,000 tons annually. Therefore, in 2008, EIA consolidated its programs by eliminating agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction as surveyed sectors.Electric Power Sector—Monthly consumption data for electric power plants are taken directly from reported data. Note 3. Coal Stocks. Coal stocks data are reported by major end-use sector. Forecast data for the most recentmonths (designated by an “F”) are derived from forecasted values shown in the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Short-Term Energy Outlook (DOE/EIA-0202) table titled “U.S. Coal Supply and Demand: Base Case.” The monthly estimates are basedon the quarterly values (released in March, June, September, and December) or annual values. The estimates are revised as collected data become available from the data sources. Sector-specific information follows. Producers and Distributors—Prior to 1998, quarterly stocks at producers and distributors were taken directly from reported data. Monthly data were estimated by using one-third of the current quarterly change to indicatethe monthly change in stocks. Beginning in 1998, endof-year stocks are taken from reported data. Monthly stocks are estimated by a model.Residential and Commercial—Prior to 1980, stock estimates for the residential and commercial sector were taken directly from reported data. For 1980-2007, stock estimates were not collected. Beginning in 2008, quarterly stocks data are collected on Form EIA-3 (data for “Commercial and Institutional Coal Users”). Industrial Coke Plants—Prior to 1980, monthly stocks at coke plants were taken direc tly from reported data. Beginning in 1980, coke plant stocks are estimated by using onethird of the current quarterly change to indicate the monthly change in stocks. Quarterly stocks are taken directly from data reported on Form EIA-5.Industrial Other—Prior to 1978, stocks for the other industrial sector were derived by using reported data to modify baseline figures from a one-time Bureau of Mines survey of consumers. For 1978–1982, monthly estimates were derived by judgmentally proportioning reported quarterly data based on representative seasonal patterns of supply and demand. Beginning in 1983, other industrial coal stocks are estimated as indicated above for coke plants. Quarterly stocks are taken directly from data reported on Form EIA-3 and therefore in clude only manufacturing industries; data for agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, and construction stocks are not available. Electric Power Sector—Monthly stocks data at electric power plants are taken directly from reported data. Note 4. Coal Forecast Values . Data values preceded by “F” in this section are forecast values. They are derived from EIA’s Short-Term Integrated Forecasting System (STIFS). The model is driven primarily by data and assumptions about key macroeconomic variables, the world oil price, and weather. The coal forecast relies on other variables as well, such as alternative fuel prices (natural gas and oil) and power generation by sources other than fossil fuels, including nuclear and hydroelectric power. Each month, EIA staff review the model output and make adjustments, if appropriate, based on their knowledge of developments in the coal industry. The STIFS model results are published monthly in EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook , which is accessible on the Web at http://www.eia.gov/emeu/steo/pub/contents.html. Note 5. Additional Coal Information. EIA’s Quarterly Coal Report provides additional information about coal data and estimation procedures.

# ElectricityNote. Classification of Power Plants Into EnergyUse Sectors. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) classifies power plants (both electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power plants) into energy-usesectors based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (S IC) system in 1997. Plants with a NAICS code of 22 are assign ed to the Electric Power Sector. Those with NAICS codes beginning with 11 (agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting); 21 (mining, including oil and gas extraction); 23 (construction); 31–33 (manufacturing); 2212 (natural gas distribution); and 22131 (water supply and irrigation systems) are assigned to the Industrial Sector. Those with all other codes are assigned to the Commercial Sector. Form EIA-860, “Annual Electric Generator Report,” asks respondents to indicate the primary purpose of the facility by assigning a NAICS code from the list at: http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electri city/forms/eia860/eia860.doc.

# Nuclear Energy Note 1. Operable Nuclear Reactors. A reactor is generally defined as operable while it possessed a full-power license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or its predecessor the Atomic Energy Commission, or equivalent permission to operate, at the end of the year or month shown. The definition is liberal in that it does not exclude units retaining full-power licenses during long, non-routine shutdowns that for a time rendered them unable to generate electricity. Examples are: (a) In 1985 the five then-active Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) units (Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3, and Sequoyah 1 and 2) were shut down under a regulatory forced outage. All five units were idle for several years, restarting in 2007, 1991, 1995, 1988, and 1988, respectively and were counted as operable during the shutdowns. (b) Shippingport was shut down from 1974 through 1976 for conversion to a light-wat er breeder reactor, but is counted as operable from 1957 until its retirement in 1982. (c) Calvert Cliffs 2 was shut down in 1989 and 1990 for replacement of pressurizer heat er sleeves but is counted as operable during those years. Exceptions to the definition are Shoreham and Three Mile Island 2. Shoreham was granted a full-power license in April 1989, but was shut down two months later and never restarted. In 1991, the license was changed to Possession Only. Although not operable at the end of the year, Shoreham is counted as operable during 1989. A major accident closed Three Mile Island 2 in 1979, and although the unit retained its full-power license for several years, it is considered permanently shut down since that year. Note 2. Nuclear Capacity. Nuclear generating units may have more than one type of net capacity rating, including the following: (a) Net Summer Capacity—The steady hourly output that generating equipment is expected to supply to system load, exclusive of auxiliary power, as demonstrated by test at the time of summer peak demand. Auxiliary power of a typical nuclear power plant is about 5 percent of gross generation. (b) Net Design Capacity or Net Design Electrical Rating (DER)—The nominal net electrical output of a unit, specified by the utility and used for plant design. The monthly capacity factors are calculated as the monthly nuclear electricity net generation divided by the maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation for that month. The maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation is the number of hours in the month (assuming 24-hour days, with no adjustment for changes to or from Daylight Savings Time) multiplied by the net summer capacity of operable nuclear generating units at the end of the month. That fraction is then multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage. Annual capacity factors are calculated as the annual nuclear electricity net generation divided by the annual maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation (the sum of the monthly values for maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation).

# Energy Prices Note 1. Crude Oil Refinery Acquisition Costs. Beginning with January 1981, refine r acquisition costs of crude oil are from data collected on U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Form EIA-14, “Refiners’ Monthly Cost Report.” Those costs were previously published from data collected on Economic Regulatory Administration (ERA) Form ERA-49, “Domestic Crude Oil Entitlements Program Refiners Monthly Report.” Form ERA-49 was discontinued with the decontrol of crude oil on January 28, 1981. Crude oil purchases and costs are defined for Form EIA-14 in accordance with conventions used for FormERA-49. The respondents for the two forms are also essentially the same. However, due to possible different interpretations of the filing requirements and a different method for handling prior period adjustments, care must be taken when comparing the data collected on the two forms. The refiner acquisition cost of crude oil is the average price paid by refiners for crude oil booked into their refineries in accordance with accounting procedures generally accepted and consistently and historically applied by the refiners concerned. Domestic crude oil is that oil produced in the United States or from the outer continental shelf as defined in 43 USC Section 1331. Imported crude oil is either that oil reported on Form ERA-51, “Transfer Pricing Report,” or any crude oil that is not domestic oil. The composite cost is the weighted average of domestic and imported crude oil costs. Crude oil costs and volumes reported on Form ERA-49excluded unfinished oils but included the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Crude oil costs and volumes reported on Federal Energy Administration (FEA) Form FEA-P110- M-1, “Refiners’ Monthly Cost Allocation Report,” included unfinished oils but excluded SPR. Imported averages derived from Form ERA-49 exclude oil purchased for SPR, whereas the composite averages derived from Form ERA-49 include SPR. None of the prices derived from Form EIA-14 include either unfinished oils or SPR. Note 2. Crude Oil Domestic First Purchase Prices. The average domestic first purchase price represents the average price at which all domestic crude oil is purchased. Prior toFebruary 1976, the price represented an estimate of the average of posted prices; beginning with February 1976, the price represents an average of actual first purchase prices. The data series was previously called “Actual Domestic Wellhead Price.” Note 3. Crude Oil F.O.B. Costs. F.O.B. literally means “Free on Board.” It denotes a transaction whereby the seller makes the product available with an agreement on a given port at a given price; it is the responsibility of the buyer to arrange for the transportation and insurance. Note 4. Crude Oil Landed Costs. The landed cost ofimported crude oil from selected countries does not represent the total cost of all imported crude. Prior to April 1975, imported crude costs to U.S. company-owned refineries in the Caribbean were not included in the landed cost, and costs of crude oil from countries that export only small amounts to the United States were also excluded. Beginning in April 1975, however, coverage was expanded to include U.S. company-owned refineries in the Caribbean. Landed costs do not include supplemental fees. Note 5. Motor Gasoline Prices. Several different series of motor gasoline prices are published in this section. U.S. city average retail prices of mo tor gasoline are calculatedmonthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics during the development of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These prices include all Federal, State, and local taxes paid at the time of sale. From 1974–1977, prices were collected in 56 urban areas. From 1978 forward, prices are collected from a new sample of service stations in 85 urban areas selected to represent all urban consumers—about 80 percent of the total U.S. population. The service st ations are selected initially,and on a replacement basis, in such a way that they represent the purchasing habits of the CPI population. Service stations in the current sample include those providing all types of service (i.e., full-, mini-, and self-serve). Refiner prices of finished mo tor gasoline for resale and to end users are determined by the EIA in a monthly survey of refiners and gas plant operators (Form EIA-782A). The prices do not include any Federal, State, or local taxes paid at the time of sale. Estimates of prices prior to January 1983 are based on Form FEA-P302-M-1/EIA-460, “Petroleum Industry Monthly Report for Product Prices,” and also exclude all Federal, State, or local taxes paid at the time of sale. Sales for resale are those made to purchasers who are other-than-ultimate consumers. Sales to end users are sales made directly to the consumers of the product, including bulk consumers (such as agri culture, industry, and utilities) and residential and commercial consumers. Note 6. Historical Petroleum Prices. Starting in January 1983, Form EIA-782, “Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report,” replaced 10 previous su rveys. Every attempt was made to continue the most important price series. However, prices published through December 1982 and those published since January 1983 do not necessarily formcontinuous data series due to changes in survey forms, definitions, instructions, populations, samples, processing systems, and statistical procedures. To provide historical data, continuous series were generated for annual data1978–1982 and for monthly data 1981 and 1982 by estimating the prices that would have been published had Form EIA-782 survey and system been in operation at that time.This form of estimation was performed after detailed adjustment was made for product and sales type matching and for discontinuity due to other factors. An important difference between the previous and presen t prices is the distinction between wholesale and resale and between retail and end user. The resale category continues to include sales among resellers. However, sales to bulk consumers, such as utility, industrial, and commercial acc ounts previously included in
132 U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010

## the wholesale category, are now counted as made to end users. The end-user category continues to include retail sales through company-owned and operated outlets but also includes sales to the bu lk consumers such as agriculture, industry, and electric utilities. Additional information may be found in “Estimated Historic Time Series for the EIA-782,” a feature article by Paula Weir, printed in the December 1983 [3] Petroleum Marketing Monthly , published by EIA. Note 7. Electricity Retail Prices. Average annual retail prices of electricity have the following plant coverage: Through 1979, annual data are for Classes A and B privately owned electric utilities only. For 1980–1982, annual data are for selected Class A utilities whose electric operating revenues were $100 million or more during the previous year. For 1983, annual data are for a selected sample of electric utilities. Beginning in 1984, data are for a census of electric utilities. Beginning in 1996, annual data also include energy service providers selling to retail customers. Average monthly retail prices of electricity have the following plant coverage: Through 1985, monthly data are derived from selected privately owned electric utilities and, therefore, are not national averages. Beginning in 1986, monthly data are based on a sample of publicly and privately owned electric utilities. Beginning in 1996, monthly data also include energy service providers selling to retail customers. Preliminary monthly data are from Form EIA-826, "Monthly Electric Sales and Revenue Report With State Distributions Report," which is a monthly collection of data from approximately 450 of the largest publicly and privately owned electric utilities as well as a census of energy service providers with retail sales in deregulatedStates; a model is then applied to the collected data to estimate for the entire universe of U.S. electric utilities.Preliminary annual data are the sum of the monthly revenues divided by the sum of the monthly sales. When finalannual data become available each year from Form EIA861, "Annual Electric Power In dustry Report," their ratios to the preliminary Form EIA-826 values are used to derive adjusted final monthly values. Note 8. Costs of Fossil-Fuel Receipts at Electric Generating Plants. Data for 1973–1982 cover all regulated electricgenerating plants at which the generator nameplate capacity of all steam-electric units combined totaled 25 megawatts or greater. From 1974–1982, peaking units were included in the data and counted towards the 25-megawatt-or-greater total. Data for 1983–1990 cover all regulated electric generating plants at which the generator nameplate capacity of all steam-electric units combined totaled 50 megawatt s or greater. Data for 1991–2001 cover all regulated electric generating plants atwhich the generator nameplate capacity of all steamelectric units and combined-cycle units together totaled 50 megawatts or greater. Data for 2002 forward cover theaforementioned regulated generating plants plus unregulated generating plants (independent power producers, as well as combined-heat-and-po wer generating plants and electricity-only plants in th e commercial and industrial sector) whose total facility fo ssil-fueled nameplate generating capacity is 50 or more megawatts, regardless of unit type. Note 9. Natural Gas Prices. Natural gas prices are intended to include all taxes. Instructions on the data collection forms specifically di rect that all Federal, State, and local taxes, surcharges, and/or adjustments billed to consumers are to be included. However, sales and other taxes itemized on more than 3,000 consumers’ bills aresometimes excluded by the reporting utilities. Deliveredto-consumers prices for 1987 forward represent naturalgas delivered and sold to residential, commercial, industrial, vehicle fuel, and electric power consumers. They do not include the price of natural gas delivered on behalf of third parties to residential, commercial, industrial, and vehicle fuel customers except for certain States in the residential and commercial sectors for 2002 forward. Volumes of natural gas delivered on behalf of third parties are included in the consumption data shown in Table 4.3. Additional information is available in the EIA Natural Gas Monthly , Appendix C.

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 n atural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the production of b iodiesel—these are included in the industrial sector consumption statistics for the a ppropriate 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 a n increase.

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

g Derived from the preliminary December 2009 stocks value (506 thousand b arrels), not the final December 2009 value (711 thousand barrels) that is shown u nder “Stocks.”

NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu. Notes: • Mbbl = thousand barrels. MMgal = million U.S. gallons. TBtu = trillion B tu. • Biodiesel data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by m ultiplying by 0.042, and are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.359 million Btu p er barrel (the approximate heat content of biodiesel—see Table A3). • Through 2 000, data are not available. Beginning in 2001, data not from U.S. Energy I nformation Administration (EIA) surveys are estimates. • Totals may not equal s um of components due to independent rounding. • Geographic coverage is the 5 0 States and the District of Columbia.

# Renewable EnergyNote. Renewable Energy Production and Consumption. In Table 10.1, renewable energy consumption consists of: conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate); geothermalelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the geothermal plants heat rate), and geothermal heat pump and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate); wood and wood-deriv ed fuels consumption; biomass waste (municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biomass) consumption; fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) and biodiesel consumption; and losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. Production is assumed to equal consumption for all renewable energy sources except biofuels(biofuels production comprises biomass inputs to the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel).

a Except for the period from August 1990 through May 1991, includes about o ne-half of the production in the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. Kuwaiti N eutral Zone output was discontinued following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait on A ugust 2, 1990, but was resumed in June 1991. In June 2010, Neutral Zone p roduction by both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia totaled about 533 thousand barrels p er day. Data for Saudi Arabia include approximately 150 thousand barrels per d ay from the Abu Safah field produced on behalf of Bahrain.

b See “Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)” in G lossary. On Tables 11.1a and 11.1b, countries are classified as "OPEC" or
" Non-OPEC" in all years based on their status in the most current year. For example, Ecuador rejoined OPEC in 2007, and is thus included in "Total OPEC " for all years; and Indonesia left OPEC at the end of 2008, and is thus included in "Total Non-OPEC" for all years.

Notes: • Data are for crude oil and lease condensate; they exclude natur al gas plant liquids. • Monthly data are often preliminary figures and may n ot average to the annual totals because of rounding or because updates to th e preliminary monthly data are not available.

# Environment
Note 1. Emissions of Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases. Greenhouse gases are those gases—such as water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO 2 

## ), methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), andsulfur hexafluoride—that are transparent to solar (shortwave) radiation but opaque to long-wave (infrared) radiation, thus preventing long-wave radiant energy from leaving Earth's atmosphere. The net effect is a trapping of absorbed radiation and a tendency to warm the planet's surface. Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions account for about 98 percent of U.S. CO 2 

## emissions. The vast majority of CO 2 

## emissions come from fossil fuel combustion, with smaller amounts from the nonfuel use of fossil fuels, as well as fromelectricity generation using geothermal energy and nonbiomass waste. Other sources of CO 2 

## emissions includeindustrial processes, such as cement and limestone production. Data in the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Monthly Energy Review ( MER ), Tables 12.1-12.6, are estimates for U.S. CO 2 

## emissions from energy consumption. For annual U.S. estimates for emissions of CO 2 

## from all sources, as well as for emissions of other greenhouse gases, see EIA’s Emissions of Greenhouse Gases Report at http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/carbon.html. Note 2. Accounting for Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Biomass Energy Combustion. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 

## ) emissions from the combustion of biomass to produce energy are excluded from the energy-related CO 2 

## emissions reported in the Monthly Energy Review . According to current international convention (see the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s “2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories”), carbon released through biomass combustion is excluded from reported energy-related emissions. The release of carbon from biomass combustion is assumed to be balanced by the uptake of carbon when the feedstock is grown, resulting in zero net emissions over some period of time. (This is not to say that biomass energy is carbon-neutral. Energy inputs are required in order to grow, fertilize, and harvest the feedstock and to produce and process the biomass into fuels.) However, analysts have debated whether increased use of biomass energy may result in a decline in terrestrial carbon stocks, leading to a net positive release of carbon rather than the zero net release assumed by its exclusion from reported energy-related emissions. Fo r example, the clearing of forests for biofuel crops could result in an initial release of carbon that is not fully recapture d in subsequent use of the land for agriculture. To reflect the potential net emissions, the international convention for greenhouse gas inventories is to report biomass emissions in the categor y “agriculture, forestry, and other land use,” usually based on estimates of net changes in carbon stocks over time. This indirect accounting of CO 2 

## emissions from biomass canpotentially lead to confusion in accounting for and understanding the flow of CO 2 

## emissions within energy and nonenergy systems. In recognition of this issue, reporting of CO 2 

## emissions from biomass combustion alongside other energy-related CO 2 

## emissions offers an alternative accounting treatment. It isimportant, however, to avoid misinterpreting emissions from fossil energy and biomass energy sources as necessarily additive. Instead, the combined total of direct CO 2 

## emissions from biomass and energy-related CO 2 

## emissions implicitly assumes that none of the carbonemitted was previously or subsequently reabsorbed in terrestrial sinks or that other emissions sources offset any such sequestration. According to the EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2010 , including direct CO 2 

## emissions from biomass energycombustion would increase the 2008 total for energyrelated CO 2 

## emissions by 353 million metric tons (6.1 percent). If in fact these emissions are all offset by biological sequestration, the net emissions would be zero as assumed in EIA’s totals. 

# Section 12 Methodology and Sources To estimate carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption for the Monthly Energy Review (MER) , Tables 12.1-12.6, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses the following methodology and sources: Step 1. Determine Fossil Fuel Consumption Coal—Coal sectoral (residential, commercial, coke plants, other industrial, transportation, electric power) consumption data in thousand short tons are from MER Table 6.2. Coal sectoral consumption data ar e converted to trillion Btu by multiplying by the coal heat content factors in MER Table A5.Coal Coke Net Imports—Coal coke net imports data in trillion Btu are derived from coal coke imports and exports data in MER Tables 1.4a and 1.4b.Natural Gas (excluding supplemental gaseous fuels)—Natural gas sectoral consumption data in trillion Btu are from MER Tables 2.2-2.6. Petroleum—Total and sectoral consumption (product supplied) data in thousand ba rrels per day for asphalt androad oil, aviation gasoline, distillate fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), lubricants, motor gasoline, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil are from MER Tables 3.5 and 3.7a-c. For the component products of LPG (ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene) and “other petroleum” (aviation gasoline blending components, crude 166 U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010

## oil, motor gasoline blending components, naphthas for petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical feedstock use, pentanes plus, special naphthas, still gas, unfinished oils, waxes, and miscellaneous petroleum products), consumption (product supplied) data in thousand barrels per day are from EIA’s Petroleum Supply Annual ( PSA ), Petroleum Supply Monthly ( PSM), and earlier publications (see sources for MER Table 3.5). Petroleum consumption data by product ar e converted to trillion Btu by multiplying by the petroleum heat content factors in MER Table A1 (Table A3 for LPG and motor gasoline). Step 2. Remove Biofuels From Petroleum Distillate Fuel Oil—Beginning in 2009, the distillate fuel oil data (for total and transportation sector) in Step 1 include biodiesel, a non-fossil renewable fuel. To remove the biodiesel portion from distillate fuel oil, data in thousand barrels per day for refinery a nd blender net inputs of renewable diesel fuel (from the PSA/PSM) are converted to trillion Btu by multiplying by the biodiesel heat content factor in MER Table A3, and then subtracted from the distillate fuel oil consumption values. Motor Gasoline—Beginning in 1993, the motor gasoline data (for total, commercial sector, industrial sector, andtransportation sector) in Step 1 include fuel ethanol, a nonfossil renewable fuel. To remove the fuel ethanol portion from motor gasoline, data in trillion Btu for fuel ethanol consumption (from MER Tables 10.2a, 10.2b, and 10.3) are subtracted from the motor gasoline consumption values. (Note that about 2 percent of fuel ethanol is fossil-based petroleum denaturant, to make the fuel ethanol undrinkable. For 1993-2008, petroleum denaturant is double counted in the PSA product supplied statistics, in both the original product category—e.g., pentanes plus—and also in the finished motor gasoline category; for this time period for MER Section 12, petroleum denaturant is removed along with the fuel ethanol from motor gasoline, but left in the original product. Beginning in 2009, petroleum denaturant is counted only in the PSA/PSM product supplied statistics for motor gasoline; for this time period for MER Section 12, petroleum denaturant is left in motor gasoline.) Step 3. Remove Carbon Sequestered by Nonfuel UseThe following fuels have industrial nonfuel uses as chemical feedstocks and other products: coal, natural gas, asphalt and road oil, distillate fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gases(ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene), lubricants (which have industrial and transportation nonfuel uses), naphthas for petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical feedstock use, pentanes plus, petroleum coke, residual fuel oil, special naphthas, still gas, waxes, and miscellaneous petroleum products. In the nonfuel use of these fuels, some of the carbon is sequestered, and is thus subtracted from the fuel consumption values in Steps 1 and 2. Estimates of annual nonfuel use and associated carbon sequestration are from EIA’s Office of Integrated Forecasting and Analysis—for details, see “Documentation for Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2006 ” at http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/documentation/ pdf/0638(2006).pdf. To obtain monthly estimates of nonfuel use and associatedcarbon sequestration, monthly patterns for industrial consumption and product supplied data series are used. For coal nonfuel use, the monthly pattern for coke plants coal consumption from MER Table 6.2 is used. For natural gas, the monthly pattern for other industrial non-CHP natural gas consumption from MER Table 4.3 is used. For distillate fuel oil, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil, the monthly patterns for industrial consumption from MER Table 3.7b are used. For the other petroleum products, the monthly patterns for product supplied from the PSA and PSM are used. Step 4. Determine Carb on Dioxide Emissions From Energy Consumption Carbon dioxide emissions data in million metric tons for fossil fuels are calculated by multiplying consumption values in trillion Btu from Steps 1 and 2 (minus the carbon sequestered in nonfuel use in Step 3) by the CO 2 

## emissions factors at http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/excel/ CO2_coeff.xls. For 2007-2010, the 2006 factors are used. Coal—CO 2 

## emissions for coal are calculated for each sector(residential, commercial, coke plants, other industrial, transportation, electric power). Tota l coal emissions are the sum of the sectoral coal emissions. Coal Coke Net Imports—CO 2 

## emissions for coal coke net imports are calculated using a coal coke factor of 114.14 million metric tons CO 2 

## per quadrillion Btu. Natural Gas—CO 2 

## emissions for natural gas are calculated for each sector (residential, co mmercial, industrial, transportation, electric power). Total natural gas emissions are the sum of the sectoral natural gas emissions. Petroleum—CO 2 

## emissions are calculated for each petroleum product. Total petroleum emissions are the sum of the product emissions. Total LPG emission s are the sum of the emissionsfor the component products (ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene); residential, commercial, and transportation sector LPG emissions are estimated by multiplying consumption values in trillion Btu from MER Tables 3.8a and 3.8c by the propane emissions factor; industrial sector LPG emissions are estimated as total LPG emissions minus emissions by the other sectors.Residual fuel oil emissions are calculated using the “Residual Fuel” (not the “Residual Fuel-Electric Utility”) factor. Geothermal and Non-Biomass Waste—Annual 1989-2008 CO 2 

## emissions data for geothermal and non-biomass waste are from EIA’s Annual Energy Review ( AER ), Table 12.7b. Monthly estimates are created by dividing the annual data by the number of days in the year and then multiplying by the number of days in the month. (Annual estimates for the current year are set equal to those of the previous year.) U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010 167

## The thermal conversion factors presented in the following tables can be used to estimate the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured in physical units, such as barrels or cubic feet. Forexample, 10 barrels of asphalt has a heat content of approximately 66.36 million Btu (10 barrels x 6.636 million Btu per barrel = 66.36 million Btu). The heat content rates (i.e., thermal conversion factors) provided in this section represent the gross (or higher or upper) energy content of the fuels. Gross heat content rates are applied in all Btu calculations for the Monthly Energy Review and are commonly used in energy calculations in the United States; net (or lower) heat content rates are typically used in European en ergy calculations. The difference between the two rates is the amount of energy that is consumed to vaporize water that is created during the combustion process. Generally, the difference ranges from 2 percent to 10 percent, depending on the specific fuel and its hydrogen content. Some fuels, such as unseasoned wood, can be more than 40 percent different in their gross and net heat content rates. See “Heat Content” and “British Thermal Unit (Btu)” in the Glossary for more information. Thermal conversion factors for hydrocarbon mixes (Table A1) are weighted averages of the thermal conversion factors for each hydrocarbon included in the mix. For example, incalculating the thermal conversion factor for a 60-40 butanepropane mixture, the thermal conversion factor for butane is weighted 1.5 times the thermal conversion factor for propane. In general, the annual thermal conversion factors presented in Tables A2 through A6 are computed from final annualdata or from the best available data and labeled “preliminary.” Often, the previous year’s factor is used as a preliminary value until data become available to calculate the factor appropriate to the year. The source of each factor is described in the secti on entitled “Thermal Conversion Factor Source Documentation,” which follows Table A6 in this appendix.

a Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned directly as fuel. Quantity-weighted avera ges of the petroleum products included in e ach category are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.

b Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline. c Beginning in 2009, includes renewable diesel fuel (including biodiesel) blended into distillate fuel oil. d Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electr icity, or electricity and heat, to the p ublic. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers.

e Electric power sector factors are weighted average heat contents for distillate fuel oil, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil ; they exclude other liquids. f Quantity-weighted averages of the major components of liquefied petroleum gases are calculated by using heat content values sho wn in Table A1. g There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1993 and 1994; beginning in 1994, the single constant factor is replaced b y a quantity-weighted f actor—quantity-weighted averages of the major components of motor gasoline, including fuel ethanol, are calculated by using hea t content values shown in Table A3.

h Includes denaturant (petroleum added to ethanol to make it undrinkable). Fuel ethanol factors are weighted average heat conten ts for undenatured ethanol (3.539 m illion Btu per barrel), pentanes plus used as denaturant (4.620 million Btu per barrel), and conventional motor gasoline and mo tor gasoline blending components used as d enaturant (5.253 million Btu per barrel). The factor for 2009 is used as the estimated factor for 1980-2008 and 2010. i Corn input to the production of undenatured ethanol (million Btu corn per barrel undenatured ethanol), used as the factor to es timate total biomass inputs to the p roduction of undenatured ethanol. Observed ethanol yields (gallons undenatured ethanol per bushel of corn) are 2.5 in 1980, 2. 666 in 1998, 2.68 in 2002, and 2.764 in 2 009; yields in other years are estimated. Corn is assumed to have a gross heat content of 0.392 million Btu per bushel. Unden atured ethanol is assumed to have a gross h eat content of 3.539 million Btu per barrel.

j Soybean oil input to the production of biodiesel (million Btu soybean oil per barrel biodiesel), used as the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the production of b iodiesel. It is assumed that 7.65 pounds of soybean oil are needed to produce one gallon of biodiesel, and 5.433 million Btu o f soybean oil are needed to produce one b arrel of biodiesel. Soybean oil is assumed to have a gross heat content of 16,909 Btu per pound, or 5.483 million Btu per barr el. Biodiesel is assumed to have a gross hea t c ontent of 17,253 Btu per pound, or 5.359 million Btu per barrel.

# Approximate Heat Rates for Electricity
Electricity Net Generation, Fossil-Fueled Plants . There is no generally accepted practice for measuring the thermal conversion rates for power plants that generate electricity from hydro, wind, photovoltaic, or solar thermal energy sources.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010 179

## Data presented in the Monthly Energy Review and in other U.S. Energy Information Administration publications are expressed predominately in units that historically have been used in the United States, such as British thermal units, barrels, cubic feet, and short tons. However, because U.S. commerce involves other nations, most of which use metric units of measure, the U.S. Government is committed to the transition to the metric system, as stated in the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 (Public Law 94–168), amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Public Law 100–418), and Executive Order 12770 of July 25, 1991. The metric conversion factors presented in Table B1 can be used to calculate the metric-unit equivalents of values expressed in U.S. Customary units. For example, 500 short tons are the equivalent of 453.6 metric tons (500 short tons x 0.9071847 metric tons/short ton = 453.6 metric tons). In the metric system of weights and measures, the names of multiples and subdivisions of any unit may be derived by combining the name of the unit with prefixes, such as deka, hecto, and kilo, meaning, respectively, 10, 100, 1,000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth. Common metric prefixes can be found in Table B2. The conversion factors presented in Table B3 can be used to calculate equivalents in various physical units commonly used in energy analyses. Fo r example, 10 barrels are the equivalent of 420 U.S. gallons (10 barrels x 42 gallons/barrel = 420 gallons).

# Glossary

## Biomass Waste: Organic non-fossil material of biological origin that is a byproduct or a discarded product. “Biomass waste” includes municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural crop byproducts, straw, and other biomass solids, liquids, and gases; but excludes wood and wood-derived fuels (including black liquor ), biofuels feedstock, biodiesel , and fuel ethanol

. Note: EIA “biomass waste” data alsoinclude energy crops grown specifically for energy production, which would not normally constitute waste. Bituminous Coal: A dense coal , usually black, sometimes dark brown, often with well-defined bands ofbright and dull material, used primarily as fuel in steamelectric power generation, with substantial quantities also used for heat and power applications in manufacturing and to make coke . Bituminous coal is the most abundant coal in active U.S. mining regions. Its moisture contentusually is less than 20 percent. The heat content of bituminous coal ranges from 21 to 30 million Btu per short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of bituminous coal consumed in the United States averages 24 million Btu per short ton, on the as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral matter). Black Liquor: A byproduct of the paper production process, alkaline spent liquor, that can be used as a source ofenergy. Alkaline spent liquor is removed from the digesters in the process of chemically pulping wood. After evaporation, the residual "bla ck" liquor is burned as a fuel in a recovery furnace that pe rmits the recovery of certain basic chemicals. British Thermal Unit (Btu): The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees Fahrenheit). See Heat Content

. Btu: See British Thermal Unit. Btu Conversion Factor: A factor for converting energy data between one unit of measurement and British thermal units (Btu) . Btu conversion factors are generallyused to convert energy data from physical units of measure (such as barrels , cubic feet , or short tons ) into the energy-equivalent measure of Btu. (See http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mer/append_a.html for further information on Btu conversion factors.) Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain or branchedchain hydrocarbon (C 4 

## H 10 

## ). It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams. It includes isobutane and normal butane and is designated in ASTM Specification D1835 and Gas Processors Association Specifications for commercial butane. Isobutane : A normally gaseous branched-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 10.9o F. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams.

## ): A colorless, odorless, nonpoisonous gas that is a normal part of Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a product of fossil-fuel combustion as well as other processes. It is considered a greenhouse gas as it traps heat (infrared energy) radiated by the Earth into the atmosphere and thereb y contributes to the potential for global warming . The global warming potential (GWP) of other greenhouse gases is measured in relation to that of carbon dioxide, which by international scientific convention is assigned a value of one (1). Chained Dollars: A measure used to express real prices

. Real prices are those that have been adjusted to remove the effect of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar; they usually reflect buying power relative to a reference year. Prior to 1996, real prices were expressed in constant dollars, a measure based on the weights of goods and services in a single year, usually a recent ye ar. In 1996, the U.S. Department of Commerce introduced the chained-dollar measure. The new measure is based on the average weights of goods and services in successive pairs of years. It is “chained” because the second year in each pair, with its weights, becomes the first year of the next pair. The advantage of using the chained-dollar measure is that it is more closely related to any given period and is therefore subject to less distortion over time. CIF: See Cost, Insurance, Freight

. City Gate: A point or measuring station at which a distribution gas utility receives gas from a natural gas pipeline company or transmission system. Climate Change: A term used to refer to all forms of climatic inconsistency, but especially to significant change from one prevailing climat ic condition to another. Insome cases, "climate change" has been used synonymously with the term "global warming" ; scientists, however, tend to use the term in a wider sense inclusive of natural changes in climate, including climatic cooling. Coal: A readily combustible black or brownish-black rock whose composition, including inherent moisture, 186 U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review September 2010

## consists of more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70 percent by volume of carbonaceous material.

Coking Coal: Bituminous coal suitable for making coke. See Coke, Coal

. Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) Plant: A plant designed to produce both heat and electricity from a single heat source. Note: This term is being used in place of the term "cogenerator" that was used by EIA in the past. CHP better describes the facilities because some of the plantsincluded do not produce heat and power in a sequential fashion and, as a result, do not meet the legal definition ofcogeneration specified in the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA). Commercial Sector: An energy-consuming sector that consists of service-providing facilities and equipment of: businesses; Federal, State, and local governments; and other private and public organizations, such as religious, social, or fraternal groups. Th e commercial sector includes institutional living quarters. It also includes sewage treatment facilities.

Degree-Days, Cooling (CDD): A measure of how warm a location is over a period of time relative to a base temperature, most commonly specified as 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by subtracting the base temperature (65 degrees) from the average of the day’s high and low temperatures, with negative values set equal to zero. Each day’s cooling degree-days are summed to create a cooling degree-day measure for a specified reference period. Cooling degree-days are used in energy analysis as an indicator of air conditioning energy requirements or use. Degree-Days, Heating (HDD): A measure of how cold a location is over a period of time relative to a base temperature, most commonly specified as 65 degrees Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by subtracting the average of the day’s high and low temperatures from the base temperature (65 degrees), with negative values set equal to zero. Each day’s heating degree-days are summed to create a heating degree-daymeasure for a specified reference period. Heating degreedays are used in energy analysis as an indicator of space heating energy requirements or use. Degree-Days, Population-Weighted: Heating or cooling degree-days weighted by the population of the area in which the degree-days are recorded. To compute State population-weighted degree-days, each State is divided into from one to nine climatically homogeneous divisions, which are assigned weights based on the ratio of the population of the division to the total population of theState. Degree-day readings for each division are multiplied by the corresponding population weight for each division and those products are then summed to arrive at the State population-weighted degree-day figure. To compute national population-weighted degree-days, the Nation is divided into nine Census regions, each comprising from three to eight States, which are assigned weights based on the ratio of the population ofthe region to the total population of the Nation. Degreeday readings for each region are multiplied by the corresponding population weight for each region and those products are then summed to arrive at the national population-weighted degree-day figure.
