 (a) '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).

 (b) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4 diesel fuels.

 (c) '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.

 (d) Hydrocarbon Gas Liquids '(HGL)' include 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). 

 (e) '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.

 (f) Facility Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning '(Facility HVAC)' excludes steam and hot water.

 * 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.
 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 lectricity 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. Allocations to specific end uses are made on the basis of reasonable approximations by respondents.
