a Includes paper and paper board, wood, food, leather, textiles and yard trimmings.
b Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
c Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids.
d The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-power (CHP) plants within North American Classification System (NAICS)22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
PV=Photovoltaic
MSW=Municipal Solid Waste.
Note: Data revisions are discussed in Highlights section. Revisions to biomass removed MSW non-biogenic and tires from renewable waste energy. Totals may not add due to independent rounding.
