a Ethanol blended
into motor gasoline is included in both "Petroleum" and "Biomass,"
but is counted only once in total consumption. b Includes supplemental
gaseous fuels. c Petroleum products supplied, including natural
gas plant liquids and crude oil burned as fuel. d Biomass includes:
biofuels, waste (landfill gas, MSW biogenic, and other biomass), wood and wood
derived fuels. MSW=Municipal Solid Waste. Note: Data revisions are
discussed in Highlights section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding. Non-renewable energy: Energy Information Administration

Geothermal energy is contained in underground reservoirs
of steam, hot water, and hot dry rocks. As used at electric generating facilities,
hot water or steam extracted from geothermal reservoirs in the Earth's crust is
supplied to steam turbines at electric utilities that drive generators to produce
electricity. Moderate-to-low termperature geothermal resources are used for direct-use
applications such as district and space heating. Lower temperature, shallow ground,
geothermal resources are used by geothermal heat pumps to heat and cool buildings.
