c Wood and wood pellet fuel
d Includes small amounts of distributed solar thermal and photovoltaic energy used in the commercial, industrial and electric power sectors.
e Ethanol primarily derived from corn.
f Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids.
g Ethanol primarily derived from corn and losses and coproducts from production of biodiesel and ethanol.
h Biodiesel primarily derived from soy bean oil and ethanol primarily derived from corn.
i 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.

Biofuels for Transportation: Biodiesel: 2001-2005: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation, Bioenergy Program estimates of production assigned to consumption and 2006 and forward: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Census, Current Industrial Reports, Fats and Oils - Production, Consumption and Stocks, and Ethanol: 1989: EIA, Estimates of U.S. Biofuels Consumption 1990, Table 10, 1990-1992: EIA, Estimates of U.S. Biomass Energy Consumption 1992, Table D2, 1993-2004: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly, Tables 2 and 16. Calculated as ten percent of oxygenated finished motor gasoline field production (Table 2) plus fuel ethanol refinery input (Table 16).2005: EIA Petroleum Supply Annual 2005, Tables 1 and 15.  Calculated as motor gasoline blending components adustments (Table 1), plus finished motor gasoline adjustments (Table 1), plus fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs (Table 15). 2006: EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly, monthly reports, Tables 1 and 27.  Calculated as motor gaoline blending components adjustments (Table 1), plus finished motor gaosline adjustments (Table 1), plus fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs (Table 27).  Small amounts of ethanol consumption are distributed to the commercial and industrial sectors according to those sector's shares of U.S. motor gasoline supplied.
