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: black liquor, wood/wood waste liquids, wood/wood waste solids, municipal solid waste (MSW), landfill gas, agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, tires, biodiesel, ethanol, losses and coproducts from production of biodiesel and ethanol, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
Note: Data revisions are discussed in Highlights section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
