 (a) The Bureau of the Census classifies establishments using the North American

Industry Classification System (NAICS). 

 (b) 'Any Energy Source' represents the non-duplicative total of establishments identified with

any of the listed energy sources. This count includes only those establishments that reported

this activity in 2010.

 (c) 'Net Electricity' is obtained by summing purchases, transfers in, and

generation from noncombustible renewable resources, minus quantities sold and

transferred out. It does not include electricity inputs from onsite

cogeneration or generation from combustible fuels because that energy has

already 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 4

diesel 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 isobutane

produced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate raw

Natural Gas Liquids '(NGL).'

 (g) 'Other' includes net steam (the sum of purchases, generation from

renewables, and net transfers), and other energy that respondents indicated was

used to produce heat and power.

 (h) The establishment counts from the current frame represent the best classifications

available according to current procedures. However, some errors in classification 

can produce results that are in obvious disagreement with other known sources. Such is the

case for Petroleum Refineries, NAICS 324110. Upon later examination, this industry includes 

establishments that should probably be classified in other industries within 324. Their 

influence on energy consumption quantities should be minimal due to the relatively much 

higher energy intensities of correctly classified petroleum refineries.

 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: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent 

rounding. The estimates presented in this table 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 estimates include the quantities of energy that were originally 

 produced offsite and purchased by or transferred to the establishment,

 plus those that were produced onsite from other energy or input materials 

 not classified as energy, or were extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells.

During manufacturing processes, it is possible that the thermal energy content of

an energy input is not completely consumed for the production of heat,

power, or electricity generation. Hence, residuals of that input may

remain. Those residual leftovers may be subsequently consumed for fuel

purposes, whether onsite or offsite at another manufacturing establishment

(for example, blast furnace gas as a byproduct recovered from coke and

other inputs that were not completely consumed). In such cases, double

counting of inputs cannot be avoided, and the "Fuel Consumption" estimates will

be inflated.
