Residual Fuel Oil(b) Alternative Energy Sources(c)

 (b) These counts include only those establishments that reported this activity in 2014. Establishments for which only a portion of the total consumed fuel was reported as switchable contribute to the establishment counts in both the 'Switchable' 

and 'Not Switchable' columns. Therefore, the sum of these establishment counts may be greater than the corresponding establishment count of the total number of establishments consuming the fuel. 
 (f) 'Other' includes all other types of energy not already identified that respondents indicated could have been consumed in place of residual fuel oil.

 * 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.

 Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Office of Energy Consumption and Efficiency Statistics, Form EIA-846, '2014 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey.'

 (c) 'Alternative Energy Sources' consist of those energy sources that could have been substituted for residual fuel oil during 2014. The quantities are expressed in thousands of barrels, and therefore represent the quantity of residual fuel oil that 

could have been displaced by the given alternative type of energy.

 (e) 'Electricity Receipts' represents those quantities of electricity generated off the manufacturing establishment site and available at the site for consumption. It includes those quantities for which payment was made, quantities transferred in, 

quantities purchased and paid for by a central purchasing entity, and quantities for which payment was made in kind. It does not include electricity generated onsite. 'Electricity Receipts' has not been adjusted to account for any quantities that might 

have been resold or transferred out. The estimates include those quantities that were ascertained switchable or not switchable, plus an additional quantity for which the switching status was not ascertained.

 (d) 'Total Consumed' represents those quantities (Total Inputs) of residual fuel oil that were ascertained switchable or not switchable, plus an additional quantity for which the switching status was not ascertained.
