Graph Notes and Sources |
|
In 1998, while the number of establishments
using residual, distillate fuel oil, and coal (NS) were dramatically less
for most industries as compared to 1994, the number of establishments
using LPG were 13 percent higher and 9 percent higher for "Other"
which includes net steam. As the total number of establishments were 16 percent fewer in the paper industry in 1998, establishments using residual fuel oil fell by 27 percent--continuing the decline in the use of residual fuel oil in manufacturing. |
The number of establishments in the primary metals industry dropped by 26 percent between 1994 and 1998 as companies disappeared for a variety of reasons including bankruptcy, consolidation, closing unprofitable plants, and mergers. Establishments using residual fuel oil were 53 percent fewer in 1998 than in 1994--although the absolute number using this energy source fell from only 88 establishments using 43 trillion Btu of residual to 41 establishments using 30 trillion Btu of residual.
