W = Withheld Notes: Feedstock comparisons between SIC and NAICS show only small differences for most of the major energy-using industries. However comparisons are not necessarily perfect; all of the 1994-1998 comparisons are statistically significant. Exceptions are noted by "NS." |

See Table Notes and Data Sources |
Coal use as a feedstock falls as the electric arc process for the production of raw steel climbs 24 percent higher in 1998 than in 1994 and the basic oxygen process falls by 2 percent.* Over 50 percent of the feedstock is the "other" energy-source category--mainly crude oil used by the petroleum industry in the manufacturing of nonenergy products (i.e., asphalts, waxes, lubricants, and solvents) and some petrochemicals. "Other
Industries" including food, wood, and paper are less comparable--however,
as a group, their share of all feedstock energy is less than 2 percent. |
