 (a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the North AmericanIndustry Classification System (NAICS).  (b) 'Any Energy Source' represents the non-duplicative total of establishments identified withany of the listed energy sources. This count includes only those establishments that reportedthis activity in 2006. (c) 'Net Electricity' is obtained by summing purchases, transfers in, andgeneration from noncombustible renewable resources, minus quantities sold andtransferred out. It does not include electricity inputs from onsitecogeneration or generation from combustible fuels because that energy hasalready been included as generating fuel (for example, coal). (d) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4diesel fuels. (e) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,and any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketers,and any marketing subsidiaries of utilities. (f) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene,normal butane, butylene, ethane-propane mixtures, propane-butane mixtures, and isobutaneproduced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate rawNatural Gas Liquids '(NGL).' (g) 'Other' includes net steam (the sum of purchases, generation fromrenewables, and net transfers), and other energy that respondents indicated wasused to produce heat and power. NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor. * Estimate less than 0.5. W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments. Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent. NA=Not available. Notes: To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the cell'scorresponding RSE column and RSE row factors. Totals may not equal sum ofcomponents because of independent rounding. The estimates presented in thistable are for the total consumption of energy (formerly total inputs of energy)for the production of heat, power, and electricity generation,regardless of where the energy was produced. Specifically, the estimatesinclude the quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite andpurchased by or transferred to the establishment, plus those that were producedonsite from other energy or input materials not classified as energy, or wereextracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.During manufacturing processes, it is possible that the thermal energy content ofan energy input is not completely consumed for the production of heat,power, or electricity generation. Hence, residuals of that input mayremain. Those residual leftovers may be subsequently consumed for fuelpurposes, whether onsite or offsite at another manufacturing establishment(for example, blast furnace gas as a byproduct recovered from coke andother inputs that were not completely consumed). In such cases, doublecounting of inputs cannot be avoided, and the "Fuel Consumption" estimates willbe inflated.
