 (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 or as feedstock/raw material inputs. See also

Footnote 'i'.

 (h) 'Shipments of Energy Sources Produced Onsite' are those shipments produced or

transformed onsite from the nonfuel use of other energy sources. For example, at an establishment

that 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 duplicate

the coal use. If some of the coke is then sold to another establishment, then that second

establishment 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 in

double counting. In order to eliminate the double counting, the energy equivalent of the

coke shipment must be subtracted from first use.

 (i) For the petroleum refining industry only, the feedstocks and raw

material inputs for the production of nonenergy products (i.e., asphalt, waxes,

lubricants, and solvents) and feedstock consumption at adjoining petrochemical

plants are included in the 'Other' column, regardless of type of energy. The

remaining columns for the petroleum refining industry include only energy that

was consumed for the production of heat and power. The 'Other' column also

includes net steam and other energy that respondents indicated was used in the

production of heat and power. Those inputs and feedstocks that were converted

to other energy products (e.g., crude oil converted to residual and distillate

fuel oils) are excluded.

 (j) 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 derived estimates presented in this table are for the first use (formerly primary 

consumption) of energy for heat and power and as feedstocks or raw material inputs.

First use is defined as the consumption of the energy that was originally produced 

offsite or was produced onsite from input materials not classified as energy.

Examples of the latter are hydrogen produced from the electrolysis of brine; 

 the output of captive (onsite) mines or wells; woodchips, bark, and woodwaste

 from wood purchased as a raw material input; and waste materials, such as
