4Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  - - =Not applicable.  - =No data reported.  (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.  
5Values are converted from kilowattthours to Btu using the approximate heat rates in Table A6. Notes:  -  Data are for energy consumed to produce electricity.  -  See Table 8.4b for electric power
sector electricity-only and CHP data.  -  See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," and Note 2,
"Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of section.  -  Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

7Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and
other biomass.  Through 2000, also includes non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from
non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived fuels).		 Sources:  -  1989-1997-U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Form EIA-867, "Annual Nonutility
