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 Other renewables represents the summation of the sub-categories of Wind, Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic, Wood and Wood Derived Fuels, Geothermal, and Other Biomass.
5 Non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuels and miscellaneous technologies.
Notes:
• The methodology to allocate fuel use by combined heat and power plants to electric power generation and useful thermal output was modified beginning in 2007, and retroactively applied to data from 2004 to 2006. For more information, please see the Technical Notes in the Appendices.
• Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
