MECS Definition of Nonfuel (Feedstock)

Energy Used as a Nonfuel (Feedstock) : Energy used for purposes other than for heat, power, and electricity generation (called nonfuel purposes), such as :

  1. natural gas processed to extract gases (like butane, ethane, and propane) which, in turn, may be used as raw materials to produce fertilizers and pharmaceutical products; and
  2. coal used by a steel maker as a raw material to produce coal coke.
