  [1] Anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, waste coal, and synthetic coal.
  [2] Distillate fuel oil (all diesel and No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils), residual fuel oil (No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils and bunker C fuel oil), jet fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke (converted to liquid petroleum, see Technical Notes for conversion methodology), and waste oil.
  [3] Natural gas, including a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels that cannot be identified separately.  Natural gas values for 2001 forward do not include blast furnace gas or other gas.
  [4] Beginning in 2002, data from the Form EIA-423 for independent power producers and combined heat and power producers are included in this table.  Prior to 2002, these data were not collected; the data for 2001 and previous years include only data collected from electric utilities via the FERC Form 423.
  Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
