a Industrial sector, including industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and

industrial electricity-only plants. See Note, "Classification of Power Plants Into

Energy-Use Sectors," at end of Section 7.

b Conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the

fossil-fueled plants heat rate). c Geothermal heat pump and direct use energy. d Wood and wood-derived fuels. e Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste,

agricultural byproducts, and other biomass. Through 2000, also includes

non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and

tire-derived fuels). f The ethanol portion of motor fuels (such as E10) consumed by the industrial

sector.

g Losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. 

Does not include natural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the

production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel—these are included in the industrial sector

consumption statistics for the appropriate energy source. h The ethanol portion of motor fuels (such as E10 and E85) consumed by the

transportation sector. i "Biodiesel" is any liquid biofuel suitable as a diesel fuel substitute, additive, or

extender. See "Biodiesel" in Glossary.

NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu. 

Notes: • Data are estimates, except for industrial sector hydroelectric power in

1973-1978 and 1989 forward. • Totals may not equal sum of components due to

independent rounding. • Geographic coverage is the 50 States and the District of

Columbia.
