 (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 or as feedstock/raw material inputs. See alsoFootnote 'i'. (h) 'Shipments of Energy Sources Produced Onsite' are those shipments produced ortransformed onsite from the nonfuel use of other energy sources. For example, at an establishmentthat processes coal to make coke for later use, the entire quantity of coal is counted as first use.Any onsite consumption of coke is not counted as first use because it would duplicatethe coal use. If some of the coke is then sold to another establishment, then that secondestablishment will consider this coke to be a shipment of an offsite-produced energy source.Hence, the second establishment will count this coke as its first use, thereby resulting indouble counting. In order to eliminate the double counting, the energy equivalent of thecoke shipment must be subtracted from first use. (i) For the petroleum refining industry only, the feedstocks and rawmaterial inputs for the production of nonenergy products (i.e., asphalt, waxes,lubricants, and solvents) and feedstock consumption at adjoining petrochemicalplants are included in the 'Other' column, regardless of type of energy. Theremaining columns for the petroleum refining industry include only energy thatwas consumed for the production of heat and power. The 'Other' column alsoincludes net steam and other energy that respondents indicated was used in theproduction of heat and power. Those inputs and feedstocks that were convertedto other energy products (e.g., crude oil converted to residual and distillatefuel oils) are excluded.

First use is defined as theconsumption of the energy that was originally produced offsite or was producedonsite from input materials not classified as energy. Examples of the latterare hydrogen produced from the electrolysis of brine; the output of captive(onsite) mines or wells; woodchips, bark, and woodwaste from wood purchased asa raw material input; and waste materials, such as wastepaper and packingmaterials. First use excludes quantities of energy that are producedfrom other energy inputs and, therefore, avoids double counting.
