1 Anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, 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 Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels.
4 Conventional hydroelectric power excluding pumped storage facilities.
5 Other renewables represents the summation of the sub-categories of Wind, Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic, Wood and Wood Derived Fuels, Geothermal, and Other Biomass.
6 The quantity of output from a hydroelectric pumped storage facility represents production minus energy used for pumping.
7 Non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuels and miscellaneous technologies.
8 Electric utility CHP plants are included in Electricity Generators, Electric Utilities.
9 Small number of electricity-only, non-Combined Heat and Power plants may be included.
* = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure.
R = Revised.
Note: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
