Annual Energy Review 2011


The Annual Energy Review (AER) is the U.S. Energy Information Administration's
(EIA) primary report of annual historical energy statistics. For many series, data
begin with the year 1949. Included are statistics on total energy production,
consumption, trade, and energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal,
electricity, nuclear energy, and renewable energy; financial and environment indicators; and data unit conversions.
Publication of this report is required under Public Law 9591 (Department of
Energy Organization Act), Section 205(c), and is in keeping with responsibilities
given to the EIA under Section 205(a)(2), which states:
The Administrator shall be responsible for carrying out a central,
comprehensive, and unified energy data and information program
which will collect, evaluate, assemble, analyze, and disseminate data
and information....
The AER is intended for use by Members of Congress, Federal and State agencies,
energy analysts, and the general public. EIA welcomes suggestions from readers
regarding the content of the AER and other EIA publications.

Important Notes About the Data


Data Displayed: For tables beginning in 1949, some early years (usually
1951-1954, 1956-1959, 1961-1964, 1966-1969, and 1971-1974) are not shown on
the tables in the printed report or the Portable Document Format (PDF) files;
however, all years of data are shown in the Excel formats and the HyperText
Markup Language (HTML) files.
Comprehensive Changes: Most AER 2011 tables and figures carry a
new year of data (usually 2011), which are often preliminary and likely to be
revised next year, and revisions to much of the 2010 data, which are now final in
many cases.
Monthly Data: The emphasis of the AER is on long-term trends. Analysts
may wish to use the data in this report in conjunction with EIAs monthly releases
that offer updates to the most recent years data. In particular, see the Monthly
Energy Review at http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly for statistics that
include updates to many of the annual series in this report.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2011

THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

Preface
This thirtieth edition of the Annual Energy Review (AER) presents the U.S. Energy
Information Administrations (EIA) most comprehensive look at integrated energy
statistics. The summary statistics on the Nations energy production, consumption,
trade, stocks, and prices cover all major energy commodities and all energyconsuming sectors of the U.S. economy from 1949 through 2011. The AER is
EIAs historical record of energy statistics and, because the coverage spans six
decades, the statistics in this report are well-suited to long-term trend analysis.
The AER is a companion report to EIAs Monthly Energy Review (MER), and it
covers most MER series over a much longer time span. Numerous additional series
are included in the AER. The additional series are available because EIAs surveys,
on which both reports are largely based, provide more extensive coverage of annual
statistics than of monthly statistics.
AER statistics for recent years, particularly 2011, are more likely than statistics for
earlier years to be revised by EIA as new information becomes available. The latest
edition of the MER, therefore, is the recommended source for the most recent statistics for many of the series reported in the AER.
For the most part, fuel-specific statistics in the AER are expressed in physical units,
such as barrels, cubic feet, short tons, and kilowatthours. Summary statistics in

Sections 1 and 2, however, are expressed in British thermal units (Btu), which
allows different fuels to be compared and integrated summary statistics, such as the
U.S. consumption of primary energy, to be calculated.
The AER emphasizes domestic energy statistics but also covers trade statistics. For
example, statistics on petroleum imports by country of origin have been included in
Section 5, Petroleum, in order to give a complete picture of petroleum statistics.
Publication of the AER each year is in keeping with responsibilities given EIA in
Section 205(a)(2) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, Public Law 95-91.
The report is intended for use by Members of Congress, Federal and State agencies,
energy analysts, and the general public. EIA welcomes suggestions from readers
regarding its energy statistics. To make a suggestion or to obtain specific information regarding the contents of the AER, readers may contact any of the subject
specialists listed as contacts on the preceding page.
Printed copies of the Annual Energy Review 2011 may be obtained by contacting the
U.S. Government Printing Office or EIAs Office of Communications, as listed on
the inside front cover of this report. The information in this report is also available
electronically at http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual/.

Includes -6.2 trillion Btu of coal coke net imports, which are not allocated to the States.
4 The U.S. consumption value in this table does not match those in Tables 1.1 and 1.3 because it:
1) does not include biodiesel; and 2) is the sum of State values, which use State average heat contents to
convert physical units of coal and natural gas to Btu.
5 Includes $158 million for coal coke net imports, which are not allocated to the States.

P=Preliminary.
Notes: This table excludes Alaska and Hawaii. Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor
air temperature. Heating degree-days are deviations below the mean daily temperature of 65 F. For
example, a weather station recording a mean daily temperature of 40 F would report 25 heating
degree-days. Temperature information recorded by weather stations is used to calculate State-wide
degree-day averages based on resident State population. Beginning in July 2001, data are weighted by the
2000 population. The population-weighted State figures are aggregated into Census divisions and the
national average.

R=Revised. P=Preliminary.
Notes: This table excludes Alaska and Hawaii. Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor
air temperature. Cooling degree-days are deviations above the mean daily temperature of 65 F. For
example, a weather station recording a mean daily temperature of 78 F would report 13 cooling
degree-days. Temperature information recorded by weather stations is used to calculate State-wide
degree-day averages based on resident State population. Beginning in 2002, data are weighted by the
2000 population. The population-weighted State figures are aggregated into Census divisions and the
national average.

Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature. Heating degree-days are
deviations below the mean daily temperature of 65 F. For example, a weather station recording a mean
daily temperature of 40 F would report 25 heating degree-days. Temperature information recorded by
weather stations is used to calculate State-wide degree-day averages based on resident State population.
Beginning in July 2001, data are weighted by the 2000 population. The population-weighted State figures
are aggregated into Census divisions and the national average. See Appendix C for map of Census

Notes: For 1975 and 1976, the U.S. Governments fiscal year was July 1 through June 30. Beginning
in 1977, the U.S. Governments fiscal year is October 1 through September 30 (for example, fiscal year
2011 is October 2010 through September 2011). Data in this table are developed using the following
conversion factors (which in most cases are different from those in Tables A1-A6)coal: 24.580 million
Btu/short ton; natural gas: 1,031 Btu/cubic foot; aviation gasoline: 5.250 million Btu/barrel; fuel oil: 5.8254
million Btu/barrel; jet fuel: 5.460 million Btu/barrel; liquefied petroleum gases: 4.011 million Btu/barrel;
motor gasoline: 5.250 million Btu/barrel; electricity: 3,412 Btu/kilowatthour; and purchased steam: 1,000
Btu/pound. Data include energy consumed at foreign installations and in foreign operations, including
aviation and ocean bunkering, primarily by the U.S. Department of Defense. U.S. Government energy use
for electricity generation and uranium enrichment is excluded. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

1 Includes those quantities for which royalties were paid based on the value of the natural gas plant
liquids produced. Additional quantities of natural gas plant liquids were produced; however, the royalties
paid were based on the value of natural gas processed. These latter quantities are included with natural
gas.
2 Sales and production volumes are for marketed production. See "Natural Gas Marketed Production"
in Glossary.
3 Excludes waste coal. See "Waste Coal" in Glossary.
4 The sum of crude oil and lease condensate, natural gas plant liquids, natural gas, and coal.
5 Sales of fossil fuels produced in offshore and onshore areas the Federal Government owns or
administers, including American Indian lands.
6 Sales volumes are reported for the fiscal year in which the sales occurred as opposed to the date of
the royalty payment. Volumes include fossil fuels for which royalties were paid, as well as those amounts
exempt from royalty payments, such as additions to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
7 The U.S. Governments fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30.
The fiscal year is
designated by the calendar year in which it ends.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary.

Sales, Btu Data (Columns 2, 5, 8, 11, and 13): Calculated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA). Monthly estimates of the ONRR physical sales data are created by dividing the fiscal-year values by
12. These monthly estimates are converted to Btu using the appropriate heat content factors in Appendix A
(crude oil and natural gas plants liquids production factors in Table A2; natural gas marketed production
factors in Table A4; and coal production factors in Table A5). For the individual fuels, fiscal-year Btu
estimates are calculated by summing the October-September monthly Btu values for each fiscal year. For
total fossil fuels, the fiscal-year Btu estimates are the sum of the fiscal-year Btu values for crude oil and
lease condensate, natural gas plant liquids, natural gas, and coal. Sales As Share of Total U.S.
Production: Calculated by EIA by dividing fiscal-year Btu data for sales by fiscal-year Btu data for total
U.S. production, then multiplying by 100. For crude oil and lease condensate total U.S. production, monthly
values from the Monthly Energy Review (MER) (May 2012), Table 3.1, are converted to Btu using the crude
oil production factors in Table A2. For natural gas plant liquids total U.S. production, monthly values from
the MER (May 2012), Table 3.1, are converted to Btu using the natural gas plant liquids production factors
in Table A2. For natural gas total U.S. marketed production, monthly values from the MER (May 2012),
Table 4.1, are converted to Btu using the natural gas marketed production factors in Table A4. For coal
total U.S. production, monthly values from the MER (May 2012), Table 6.1, are converted to Btu using the
coal production factors in Table A5. For the individual fuels, fiscal-year total U.S. production Btu values are
calculated by summing the October-September monthly Btu values for each fiscal year. For fossil fuels
total U.S. production, the fiscal-year Btu values are the sum of the fiscal-year total U.S. production Btu
values for crude oil and lease condensate, natural gas plant liquids, natural gas, and coal.

Energy Overview
Note 1. Noncombustible Renewable Energy. Noncombustible renewable energy
is the sum of hydroelectric power, geothermal, solar/PV, and wind. In Table 1.3,
total primary consumption of noncombustible renewable energy is reported as the
sum of Captured Energy and the Adjustment for Fossil Fuel Equivalence.
Captured energy represents the energy from noncombustible renewable resources that is
actually "captured" for final use. It includes the electricity generated from noncombustible resources (i.e., net generation from Table 8.2a converted to Btu using the energy
conversion factor of 3,412 Btu/kWh) and the direct consumption of noncombustible
renewable energy. Direct consumption of noncombustible renewable energy
includes: solar thermal direct use energy, residential and commercial self-generated
photovoltaic energy, geothermal energy from heat pumps, and direct use of geothermal energy.
The adjustment for fossil-fuel equivalence represents the energy losses that would
have occurred if electricity from noncombustible renewable resources had been
generated using the average fossil-fuel mix in a given year. The fossil-fuel

34

equivalent value is determined by converting electricity generation to Btu using the


average fossil-fuel heat rate from Table A6. The Adjustment for Fossil Fuel
Equivalence is then calculated as the difference between the fossil-fuel equivalent
value of electricity generated and "captured" electricity generation.
For more information, see Appendix F.
Note 2. Non-Combustion Use of Fossil Fuels. Most fossil fuels consumed in the
United States and elsewhere are combusted to produce heat and power. However,
some are used directly for non-combustion use as construction materials, lubricants, chemical feedstocks, solvents, and waxes. For example, asphalt and road
oil are used for roofing and paving; liquefied petroleum gases are used to create
intermediate products that are used in making plastics; lubricants, including
motor oil and greases, are used in vehicles and various industrial processes;
petrochemical feedstocks are used to make plastics, synthetic fabrics, and related
products; and natural gas is used to make nitrogenous fertilizers and as feedstock
in the chemical industry. Estimates of non-combustion use of fossil fuels are
based on the methodology underlying the nonfuel emissions calculations in EIAs
Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States, Chapter 2, at
http://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/ghg_report/.

7 A balancing item. The sum of primary consumption in the five energy-use sectors equals the sum of
total consumption in the four end-use sectors. However, total energy consumption does not equal the sum
of the sectoral components due to the use of sector-specific conversion factors for natural gas and coal.
8 Primary energy consumption total. See Table 1.3.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu and greater than -0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: See Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of Section 8.
Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Web Pages: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#consumption for updated monthly and
annual data. See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual/#consumption for all annual data beginning
in 1949.

8 Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and, beginning in 1996, other
energy service providers.
9 Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric power sector minus the
energy content of electricity retail sales. Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to
each sectors share of total electricity retail sales. See Note, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of
section.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

8 Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric power sector minus the
energy content of electricity retail sales. Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to
each sectors share of total electricity retail sales. See Note, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of
section.
9 Beginning in 1978, the small amounts of coal consumed for transportation are reported as industrial
sector consumption.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Web Pages: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#consumption for updated monthly and
annual data. See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual/#consumption for all annual data beginning
in 1949.

renewable energy sources, minus quantities sold and transferred out; it excludes onsite generation from
combustible fuels.
6 Includes all other types of energy that respondents indicated were consumed or allocated, such as
asphalt and road oil, lubricants, naphtha less than 401 degrees Fahrenheit, other oils greater than or equal
to 401 degrees Fahrenheit, special naphthas, waxes, and miscellaneous nonfuel products, which are
nonfuel products assigned to the petroleum refining industry group (NAICS Code 324110).

Distillate
Fuel Oil

another entity. Note that shipments of energy sources are subtracted from consumption.
8 The sum of coal, coal coke and breeze, natural gas, distillate fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gases,
natural gas liquids, residual fuel oil, net electricity, and other, minus shipments of energy sources.
(s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu and greater than -0.5 trillion Btu. Q=Data withheld because the relative
standard error was greater than 50 percent.
Notes: Data are estimates for the first use of energy for heat and power and as feedstocks or raw
material inputs. "First use" is the consumption of energy that was originally produced offsite or was
produced onsite from input materials not classified as energy. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

1 "Net Electricity" is the sum of purchases, transfers in, and onsite generation from noncombustible
renewable energy sources, minus quantities sold and transferred out; it excludes onsite generation from

3 Natural gas liquids.

6 Combined-heat-and-power plants.
7 Excludes steam and hot water.
= Not applicable. (s)=Estimate less than 0.5. Q=Withheld because relative standard error is greater
than 50 percent.

Notes: Data are estimates for the total consumption of energy for the production of heat, power, and
electricity generation, regardless of where the energy was produced. Specifically, the estimates include the
quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite and purchased by or transferred to the
establishment, plus those that were produced onsite from other energy or input materials not classified as
energy, or were extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells. Allocations to end uses are made on the
basis of reasonable approximations by respondents. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding, the presence of estimates that round to zero, and the presence of estimates that are
withheld because the relative standard error is greater than 50 percent.

Energy Consumption by Sector


Note. Electrical System Energy Losses. Electrical system energy losses are
calculated as the difference between total primary consumption by the electric
power sectorsee Table 2.1fand the total energy content of electricity retail
salessee Tables 8.9 and A6. Most of these losses occur at steam-electric
power plants (conventional and nuclear) in the conversion of heat energy into
mechanical energy to turn electric generators. The loss is a thermodynamically
necessary feature of the steam-electric cycle. Part of the energy input-to-output

66

losses is a result of imputing fossil energy equivalent inputs for hydroelectric,


geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaic, and wind energy sources. In addition to
conversion losses, other losses included power plant use of electricity, transmission and distribution of electricity from power plants to end-use consumers
(also called line losses), and unaccounted for electricity. Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sector's share of total electricity
sales. Overall, about two thirds of total energy input is lost in conversion.
Currently, of electricity generated, approximately 5 percent is lost in plant use
and 7 percent is lost in transmission and distribution.

Classification System) 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the
public. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and
independent power producers.
12 Expenditures by the electric power sector for coal, natural gas, petroleum, nuclear fuel, wood, waste,
and electricity imports. Values are negative so the columns will sum to the "Total Energy" column.
13 Retail electricity expenditures by ultimate customers, reported by electric utilities and, beginning in
1996, other energy service providers.
14 Expenditures for primary energy and retail electricity by the four end-use sectors (residential,
commercial, industrial, and transportation); excludes expenditures for energy by the electric power sector.
R=Revised.
Notes: Expenditures include taxes where data are available. There are no direct fuel costs for
hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, or solar energy. Totals may not equal the sum of components due to
independent rounding.

1 See "Proved Reserves, Crude Oil," "Proved Reserves, Lease Condensate," and "Proved Reserves,
Natural Gas" in Glossary.
2 "Technically recoverable" resources are those that are producible using current technology without
reference to the economic viability thereof.
3 "48 States" is the United States excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
4 Excludes natural gas plant liquids. See "Natural Gas, Dry" in Glossary.
5 Conventionally reservoired deposits are discrete subsurface accumulations of crude oil or natural gas
usually defined, controlled, or limited by hydrocarbon/water contacts.
6 Includes associated-dissolved (AD) natural gas that occurs in crude oil reservoirs either as free gas
(associated) or as gas in solution with crude oil (dissolved gas).
7 Includes Federal offshore and State offshore waters (near-shore, shallow-water areas under State
jurisdiction).
8 Natural gas produced from a non-shale formation with extremely low permeability.

See "Shale Gas" in Glossary.


See "Coalbed Methane" in Glossary.
Notes: See Tables 4.2 and 4.3 for more recent proved reserves data. Data are at end of year.
Resources in areas where drilling is officially prohibited are not included. Estimates of the resources in
the Northern Atlantic, Northern and Central Pacific, and within a 50-mile buffer off the Mid and Southern
Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) are also excluded from the technically recoverable volumes.
Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Sources: Proved Reserves: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. Crude Oil, Natural
Gas, and Natural Gas Liquids Proved Reserves, 2010 (August 2012). Unproved Resources: U.S.
Geological Survey National Oil and Gas Resource Assessment Team, with adjustments made to the shale
gas data by EIA, Office of Energy Analysis. Total Technically Recoverable Resources: Calculated as
the sum of proved reserves and unproved resources.

1 To the extent that lease condensate is measured or estimated it is included in "Natural Gas Liquids";
otherwise, lease condensate is included in "Crude Oil."
2 The American Gas Association estimates of natural gas proved reserves include volumes of natural
gas held in underground storage. In 1979, this volume amounted to 4.9 trillion cubic feet. U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) data do not include natural gas in underground storage.
3 Natural gas is converted to crude oil equivalent (COE) by multiplying by the natural gas dry production
approximate heat content (see Table A4) and then dividing by the crude oil production approximate heat
content (see Table A2). The lease condensate portion of natural gas liquids is converted to COE by
multiplying by the lease condensate production approximate heat content (5.5 million Btu per barrel) and
then dividing by the crude oil production approximate heat content. Other natural gas liquids are converted
to COE by multiplying by the natural gas plant liquids production approximate heat content (see Table A2)
and then dividing by the crude oil production approximate heat content.

Notes: 2011 data for this table were not available in time for publication. Data are estimates.
Data are for development wells only; see Table 4.5 for exploratory and development wells combined, and
Table 4.6 for exploratory wells only. Service wells, stratigraphic tests, and core tests are excluded.
For 19491959, data represent wells completed in a given year. For 19601969, data are for well
completion reports received by the American Petroleum Institute during the reporting year. For 1970
forward, the data represent wells completed in a given year. The as-received well completion data for
recent years are incomplete due to delays in the reporting of wells drilled. The U.S. Energy Information

4 Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and South Dakota.
(s)=Less than 0.05 billion short tons.
Notes: See U.S. Coal Reserves: 1997 Update on the Web Page for a description of the methodology
used to produce these data. Data represent remaining measured and indicated coal resources, analyzed
2

and on file, meeting minimum seam and depth criteria, and in the ground as of January 1, 2011. These
coal resources are not totally recoverable. Net recoverability with current mining technologies ranges from
0 percent (in far northern Alaska) to more than 90 percent. Fifty-four percent of the demonstrated reserve
base of coal in the United States is estimated to be recoverable. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

1 The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) category of uranium reserves is equivalent to the
internationally reported category of "Reasonably Assured Resources" (RAR).
2 Forward costs include the costs for power and fuel, labor, materials, insurance, severance and ad
valorem taxes, and applicable administrative costs. Past capital costs are considered "sunk" costs and
mining of the individual deposits may or may not return such costs to investors. Sunk costs for such items
as exploration and land acquisition are excluded as are the costs for income taxes, profit, and the cost of
money. The forward costs used to estimate U.S. uranium ore reserves are independent of the price at
which uranium produced from the estimated reserves might be sold in the commercial market. Reserves
values in forward-cost categories are cumulative; that is, the quantity at each level of forward cost includes

gain (refinery and blender net production minus refinery and blender net inputs). Beginning in 1981, also
includes fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) production. Beginning in 2001, also includes biodiesel production.
2 Net imports equal imports minus exports.
Includes petroleum (excluding biofuels) net imports.
Beginning in 1993, also includes fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) net imports. Beginning in 2001, also
includes biodiesel net imports. Beginning in 2009, also includes a small amount of other biofuels (such as
bio-jet fuel and bio-ETBE) imports.
3 Includes petroleum and biofuels stock withdrawals (stock change multiplied by -1); petroleum
adjustments; and biodiesel balancing item.
4 Includes estimated consumption of petroleum.
Beginning in 1981, also includes estimated
consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant. Beginning in 2001, also includes estimated consumption of
biodiesel. Techniques used to estimate consumption vary depending on the product. Petroleum product
supplied is used as an approximation of petroleum consumption, which is adjusted to exclude biofuels in
order to prevent double counting.

R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Notes: The country of origin for refined petroleum products may not be the country of origin for the
crude oil from which the refined products were produced. For example, refined products imported from
refineries in the Caribbean may have been produced from Middle East crude oil. Net imports equal
imports minus exports. Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports. Data include any imports
for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which began in 1977. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

6 Fuel oil nos. 5 and 6. For 19491979, data are for steam plant use of petroleum. For 19802000,
electric utility data also include a small amount of fuel oil no. 4.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Notes: Data for "Transportation Sector" are estimates. For total heat content of petroleum
consumption by all sectors, see data for heat content of petroleum products supplied in Table 5.12. For the
transportation sector, petroleum product supplied is used as an approximation of petroleum consumption.
See Note 1, "Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption," at end of Section. Totals may
not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Web Pages: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#petroleum for updated monthly and
annual data. See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual/#petroleum for all annual data beginning in
1949. See http://www.eia.gov/states/_seds.html for related information.

1 Imported crude oil received represents volumes of imported crude oil received at SPR storage facilities
for which the costs associated with the importation and delivery of crude oil are the responsibility of the
commercial importer under contract to supply the SPR.
2 The values shown for 1998 and 1999 represent an exchange agreement in which SPR received
approximately 8.5 million barrels of high quality oil in exchange for approximately 11 million barrels of lower
quality crude oil shipped from SPR during 1999 and 2000. Also, beginning in 1999, a portion of the crude
oil in-kind royalties from Federal leases in the Gulf of Mexico was transferred to the U.S. Department of
Energy and exchanged with commercial entities for crude oil to fill the SPR. Crude oil exchange barrels
delivered to SPR could be either domestic or imported as long as the crude oil met the specification
requirements of SPR. All exchange barrels of imported crude oil are included in "Foreign Crude Oil
Receipts, Imported by Others," while exchange barrels of domestic crude oil are included in "Domestic
Crude Oil Receipts, Exchanges."
3 Includes lease condensate stocks.
4 Derived by dividing end-of-year SPR stocks by annual average daily net imports of all petroleum.

D1. See "Chained Dollars" in Glossary.
R=Revised. E=Estimate.
Note: Costs are for crude oil to refiners, including transportation and other fees; they do not include
crude oil purchased for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The cost for each category and for the composite
is derived by dividing the sum of the total purchasing (acquisition) costs of all refiners by the total volume of
all refiners purchases.

Sources: 1968-1973U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates. The cost of domestic
crude oil was derived by adding estimated transportation costs to the reported average domestic first
purchase value. The cost of imported crude oil was derived by adding an estimated ocean transport cost
based on the published "Average Freight Rate Assessment" to the average "Free Alongside Ship" value
published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The composite cost was derived by weighting domestic costs
and imported costs on the basis of quantities produced and imported. 1974-January 1976Federal

gasoline adjustment method to gasoline product supplied data for 1992 increased
the reported quantity 108 thousand barrels per day at the U.S. level from 7,268
thousand barrels per day to 7,376 thousand barrels per day.

Petroleum
Note 1. Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption. Petroleum
product supplied (see Table 5.11) is used as an approximation of petroleum
consumption. Petroleum products supplied is calculated as field production plus
renewable fuels and oxygenates production plus processing gain plus net imports
minus stock change plus adjustments. Total products supplied include natural
gas plant liquids, unfinished oils, aviation gasoline blending components, and
finished petroleum products. Crude oil burned on leases and at pipeline stations
was reported as product supplied for either distillate fuel oil or residual fuel oil
until January 1983. From January 1983 through December 2010, crude oil product supplied was reported based on quantities reported on Form EIA-813
Monthly Crude Oil Report. Beginning with data for January 2010, reporting
crude oil used directly on Form EIA-813 was discontinued, and crude oil product
supplied was assumed equal to zero. The sector allocation of product supplied in
Tables 5.13a-5.13d for products used in more than one sector is derived from
sales to ultimate consumers by refiners, marketers, distributors, and dealers (see
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) report Fuel Oil and Kerosene
Sales) and from EIA electric power sector petroleum consumption data (see
Tables 8.7b and 8.7c).
Note 2. Changes Affecting Petroleum Production and Product Supplied Statistics. Beginning in January 1981, several U.S. Energy Information Administration
survey forms and calculation methodologies were changed to reflect new developments in refinery and blending plant practices and to improve data integrity. Those
changes affect production and product supplied statistics for motor gasoline, distillate
fuel oil, and residual fuel oil, and stocks of motor gasoline. On the basis of those
changes, motor gasoline production during the last half of 1980 would have averaged
289 thousand barrels per day higher than that which was published on the old basis.
Distillate and residual fuel oil production and product supplied for all of 1980 would
have averaged, respectively, 105 thousand and 54 thousand barrels per day higher than
the numbers that were published. A new adjustment was introduced for calculating
finished motor gasoline product supplied beginning with data for January 1993. The
new adjustment transferred product supplied for motor gasoline blending components and fuel ethanol to supply of finished motor gasoline. Applying the new

Note 3. Gross Input to Distillation Units. The methods of deriving Gross Input
to Distillation Units (GIDU) in this report are as follows: for 1949-1966, GIDU is
estimated by summing annual crude oil runs to stills, net unfinished oil reruns at
refineries, and shipments of natural gasoline and plant condensate from natural gas
processing plants to refineries; for 1967-1973, GIDU is estimated by summing
annual crude oil runs to stills, net unfinished oil reruns, and refinery input of natural
gasoline and plant condensate; for 1974-1980, GIDU is published annual data; and
for 1981 forward, GIDU is the sum of reported monthly data.
Note 4. Crude Oil Domestic First Purchase Prices. Crude oil domestic first
purchase prices were derived as follows: for 1949-1973, weighted average
domestic first purchase values as reported by State agencies and calculated by
the Bureau of Mines; for 1974 and 1975, weighted averages of a sample survey
of major first purchasers purchases; for 1976 forward, weighted averages of all
first purchasers purchases.
Note 5. Historical Residential Heating Oil Prices. Residential heating oil prices
for 1956 through 1987 were formerly published in the Annual Energy Review.
Those data, in cents per gallon, are: 195615.2; 195716.0; 195815.1;
195915.3; 196015.0; 196115.6; 196215.6; 196316.0; 196416.1;

electric utilities only; beginning in 2002, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers. See
Note 5, "Coverage of Electric Power Sector Natural Gas Prices," at end of section.
4 Much of the natural gas delivered for vehicle fuel represents deliveries to fueling stations that are used
primarily or exclusively by fleet vehicles. Thus, the prices are often those associated with the cost of gas in
the operation of fleet vehicles.

Natural Gas
Note 1. Supplemental Gaseous Fuels. Supplemental gaseous fuels are any
substances that, introduced into or commingled with natural gas, increase the
volume available for disposition. Such substances include, but are not limited to,
propane-air, refinery gas, coke oven gas, still gas, manufactured gas, biomass gas,
or air or inert gases added for British thermal unit (Btu) stabilization.
Annual data beginning with 1980 are from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Natural Gas Annual. Unknown quantities of supplemental gaseous fuels
are included in consumption data for 1979 and earlier years.
Although the total amount of supplemental gaseous fuels consumed is known for
1980 forward, the amount consumed by each energy-use sector is estimated by EIA.
These estimates are used to create natural gas (without supplemental gaseous fuels)
data for Tables 1.3, 2.1b, 2.1c, 2.1d, and 2.1f (note: to avoid double-counting in
these tables, supplemental gaseous fuels are accounted for in their primary energy
category: Coal, Petroleum, or Biomass). It is assumed that supplemental gaseous fuels are commingled with natural gas consumed by the residential, commercial,
other industrial, and electric power sectors, but are not commingled with natural gas
used for lease and plant fuel, pipelines and distribution, or vehicle fuel. The estimated
consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels by each sector (residential, commercial,
other industrial, and electric power) is calculated as that sectors natural gas consumption (see Table 6.5) divided by the sum of natural gas consumption by the residential,
commercial, other industrial, and electric power sectors (see Table 6.5), and then multiplied by total supplemental gaseous fuels consumption (see Table 6.1). For estimated sectoral consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels in Btu, the residential,
commercial, and other industrial values in cubic feet are multiplied by the End-Use
Sectors conversion factors (see Table A4), and the electric power values in cubic feet
are multiplied by the Electric Power Sector conversion factors (see Table A4).
Total supplemental gaseous fuels consumption in Btu is calculated as the sum of
the Btu values for the sectors.
Note 2. Natural Gas Consumption. Natural gas consumption statistics are
compiled from surveys of natural gas production, transmission, and distribution
companies and from surveys of electric power generation. Consumption by sector
from these surveys is compiled on a national and individual State basis and then
balanced with national and individual State supply data. Included in the data are the
following: Residential SectorConsumption by private households for space
heating, cooking, and other household uses; Commercial SectorConsumption by
nonmanufacturing establishments; government agencies; and, through 1995, those
engaged in agriculture, forestry, and fishing. The commercial sector includes

194

generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal output primarily to support
the activities of the above-mentioned commercialestablishments; Industrial
SectorConsumption by establishments engaged primarily in processing unfinished materials into another form of product (including mining; petroleum refining;
manufacturing; and, beginning in 1996, agriculture, forestry, and fishing), and natural gas industry use for lease and plant fuel. The industrial sector includes generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal output primarily to support the
above-mentioned industrial activities; Transportation SectorNatural gas transmission (pipeline) fuel, and natural gas delivered for use as vehicle fuel; and
Electric Power Sector (electric utilities and independent power
producers)Consumption for electricity generation and useful thermal output at
electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS
(North American Industry Classification System) 22 category whose primary
business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
Note 3. Natural Gas Consumption, 1989-1992. Prior to 1993, deliveries to nonutility generators were not separately collected from natural gas companies on Form
EIA-176, Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and
Disposition. As a result, for 1989-1992, those volumes are probably included in
both the industrial and electric power sectors and double-counted in total consumption. In 1993, 0.28 trillion cubic feet was reported as delivered to nonutility
generators.
Note 4. Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel. In Table 6.5, for 1992 forward, natural gas
vehicle fuel data do not reflect revised data shown in Table 10.5. These revisions,
in million cubic feet, are: 19922,112; 19932,860; 19943,222; 19954,619;
19966,111; 19978,393; 19989,416; 199910,398; 200011,461; 200113,788;
200215,872; 200317,484; 200421,487; 200522,578; 200623,317; 200724,256;
200825,659; 200926,936; and 2010 28,297.
Note 5. Coverage of Electric Power Sector Natural Gas Prices. For 1973-1982,
data for electric power sector natural gas prices include all electric utility plants at
which the generator nameplate capacity of all steam-electric units combined
totaled 25 megawatts or greater. For 1974-1982, peaking units are also included
and counted toward the 25-megawatt-or-greater total. For 1983-1990, data
include all electric utility plants at which the generator nameplate capacity of all
steam-electric units combined totaled 50 megawatts or greater. For 1991-2001,
data include all electric utility plants at which the generator nameplate capacity
of all steam-electric units and combined-cycle units together totaled 50 megawatts or greater. For 2002 forward, data include electric utility and independent
power producer plants at which the total facility fossil-fueled nameplate generating capacity is 50 or more megawatts, regardless of unit type.

1 Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery (coal recaptured from a refuse mine,
and cleaned to reduce the concentration of noncombustible materials).
2 Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry dam, anthracite culm,
bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric power and industrial sectors. Beginning in
1989, waste coal supplied is counted as a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal
included in "Consumption."
3 Net imports equal imports minus exports. Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports.
4 Through 1972, excludes coal stocks at producers and distributors. For 1980-2007, excludes coal

1 Data through 1973 for bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, and lignite, and data through 1978 for
anthracite, were originally reported in short tons per employee daythese data were converted to short
tons per employee hour by assuming an eight-hour day. Through 1997, other data were calculated by
dividing total production by total labor hours worked by all mine employees except office workers; beginning
in 1998, the calculation also includes office workers.
2 Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery.
3 Through 1978, data for anthracite are not available by mining method, but are included in "Total."
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.

Net imports equal imports minus exports. Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports.
Producer and distributor stocks at end of year. A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks; a
positive value indicates an increase.
3 "Consumption" is calculated as the sum of production and imports minus exports and stock change.
P=Preliminary. (s)=Less than 0.05 million short tons.
Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

1 Because of withholding to protect company confidentiality, lignite prices exclude Texas for 19551977
and Montana for 19741978. As a result, lignite prices for 19741977 are for North Dakota only.
2 See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
3 In chained (2005) dollars, calculated by using gross domestic product implicit price deflators in Table
D1. See "Chained Dollars" in Glossary.
4 Through 1978, subbituminous coal is included in "Bituminous Coal."
R=Revised. E=Estimate.
Note: Prices are free-on-board (F.O.B.) rail/barge prices, which are the F.O.B. prices of coal at the point
of first sale, excluding freight or shipping and insurance costs. For 19492000, prices are for open market
and captive coal sales; for 20012007, prices are for open market coal sales; for 2008 forward, prices are
for open market and captive coal sales. See "Captive Coal," "Free on Board (F.O.B.)," and "Open Market

Coal
Note 1. Coal Consumption. Data in this report on the consumption of bituminous
coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite, anthracite, and waste coal are developed primarily
from consumption data reported in surveys. Included are data reported by all electric
power companies and coke plant companies. Data on coal consumption by all industrial and manufacturing establishments are based on consumption data obtained quarterly from coal users. Beginning in 2008, data on coal consumption by the residential
and commercial sectors are based on data received on Form EIA-3, "Quarterly Coal
Consumption and Quality ReportManufacturing and Transformation/Processing
Coal Plants and Commercial and Institutional Users. Prior to 2008, data on coal
consumption by the residential and commercial sectors are based on distribution data
obtained annually from coal distributors. Included in each sectors data are the
following: Residential and Commercial Sectorscommercial and institutional
establishments including military bases, universities, and various State facilities;
Industrial Sectorconsumption at manufacturing plants, coking plants, and coal
preparation plants; Electric Power Sector (electric utilities and independent power
producers)consumption for electric generation and useful thermal output at
electricity-only and CHP plants within the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) 22 category, whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. There are no data for the Transportation Sector.

216

Note 2. Residential and Commercial Coal Consumption Estimates. Through


2007, coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors was reported to
the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for the two sectors combined;
EIA estimates the amount consumed by the sectors individually. To create the
estimates, it is first assumed that an occupied coal-heated housing unit consumes
fuel at the same Btu rate as an oil-heated housing unit. Then, for the years in
which data are available on the number of occupied housing units by heating
source (1950, 1960, 1970, 19731981, and subsequent odd-numbered years; see
Table 2.7), residential consumption of coal is estimated by the following steps: a
ratio is created of the number of occupied housing units heated by coal to the
number of housing units heated by oil; that ratio is then multiplied by the Btu
quantity of oil consumed by the residential sector to derive an estimate of the Btu
quantity of coal consumed by the residential sector; and, finally, the amount estimated as the residential sector consumption is subtracted from the residential and
commercial sectors combined consumption to derive the commercial sectors
estimated consumption. The 1950 share is applied to 1949, and the other missing
years shares are interpolated.
Beginning in 2008, coal consumption is reported to EIA for commercial and institutional users. However, EIA continues to allocate a small portion of that consumption to the residential sector using the above methodology.

Use of electricity that is 1) self-generated, 2) produced by either the same entity that
consumes the power or an affiliate, and 3) used in direct support of a service or industrial
process located within the same facility or group of facilities that house the generating equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use.
Notes: Data are preliminary. See Note, Electrical System Energy Losses, at the
end of Section 2. Net generation of electricity includes pumped storage facility production
minus energy used for pumping. Values are derived from source data prior to rounding for
publication. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

electric utilities, independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: Data are for energy consumed to produce electricity. Data also include energy consumed to
produce useful thermal output at a small number of electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants.
This table no longer shows energy consumption by hydroelectric pumped storage plants. The change
was made because most of the electricity used to pump water into elevated storage reservoirs is generated
by plants other than pumped-storage plants; thus, the associated energy is already accounted for in other
data columns in this table. See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," at end of section. Totals
may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

produce useful thermal output at a small number of electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants.
The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within
the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
See Table 8.4c for commercial and industrial CHP and electricity-only data. This table no longer
shows energy consumption by hydroelectric pumped storage plants. The change was made because most
of the electricity used to pump water into elevated storage reservoirs is generated by plants other than
pumped-storage plants; thus, the associated energy is already accounted for in other data columns in this
table. 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.

Notes: Data are for fuels consumed to produce electricity. Data also include fuels consumed to
produce useful thermal output at a small number of electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants.
The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within
the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
See Table 8.5d for commercial and industrial CHP and electricity-only 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.
Web Pages: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#electricity for updated monthly and
annual data. See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual/#electricity for all annual data beginning in
1949. See http://www.eia.gov/electricity/ for related information.

Notes: Estimates are for fuels consumed to produce useful thermal output; they exclude fuels
consumed to produce electricity. Estimates are for combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the
NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity and heat to the public. Estimates do not
include electric utility CHP plants. See Table 8.6c for commercial and industrial CHP data. See Note
1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," and Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors,"
at end of section. See "Useful Thermal Output" in Glossary. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

previous reporting periods. Through 1979, data are for Classes A and B privately owned electric utilities
only. (Class A utilities are those with operating revenues of $2.5 million or more; Class B utilities are those
with between $1 million and $2.5 million.) For 19801982, data are for selected Class A utilities whose
electric operating revenues were $100 million or more during the previous year. For 1983, data are for a
selected sample of electric utilities. Beginning in 1984, data are for a census of electric utilities. Beginning
in 1996, data also include energy service providers selling to retail customers.

Notes: Data are at end of year. For plants that use multiple sources of energy, capacity is assigned
to the energy source reported as the predominant one. The electric power sector comprises
electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary
business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. See Table 8.11d for commercial and
industrial CHP and electricity-only data. See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," and Note 2,
"Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of section. See "Generator Net Summer
Capacity" in Glossary. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

1 Noncoincident peak load is the sum of two or more peak loads on individual systems that do not occur
at the same time interval. Peak load represents one hour of a day during the associated peak period. See
"Noncoincident Peak Load" in Glossary.
2 See "North American Electric Reliablility Corporation (NERC)" in Glossary. Data include the U.S.
portion of NERC only.
3 Historically, the MRO, RFC, SERC, and SPP regional boundaries were altered as utilities changed
reliability organizations. The historical data series for these regions have not been adjusted. Instead, the
"Balance of Eastern Region" category was introduced to provide a consistent trend of the Eastern
Interconnection.

1 The actual reduction in peak load reflects the change in demand for electricity that results from a utility
demand-side management (DSM) program that is in effect at the time that the utility experiences its actual
peak load as opposed to the potential installed peakload reduction capacity. Differences between actual
and potential peak reduction result from changes in weather, economic activity, and other variable
conditions.
2 "Energy Efficiency" refers to programs that are aimed at reducing the energy used by specific end-use
devices and systems, typically without affecting the services provided. These programs reduce overall
electricity consumption, often without explicit consideration for the timing of program-induced savings.
Such savings are generally achieved by substituting technically more advanced equipment to produce the
same level of end-use services (e.g., lighting, heating, motor drive) with less electricity. Examples include
high-efficiency appliances, efficient lighting programs, high-efficiency heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning systems or control modifications, efficient building design, advanced electric motor drives, and
heat recovery systems.
3 "Load Management" includes programs such as "Direct Load Control," "Interruptible Load Control,"
and, "Other Types" of DSM programs. "Direct Load Control" refers to program activities that can interrupt
consumer load at the time of annual peak load by direct control of the utility system operator by interrupting
power supply to individual appliances or equipment on consumer premises. This type of control usually
involves residential consumers. "Interruptible Load Control" refers to program activities that, in accordance
with contractual arrangements, can interrupt consumer load at times of seasonal peak load by direct control
of the utility system operator or by action of the consumer at the direct request of the system operator. It

usually involves commercial and industrial consumers. In some instances, the load reduction may be
affected by direct action of the system operator (remote tripping) after notice to the consumer in accordance
with contractual provisions. "Other Types" are programs that limit or shift peak loads from on-peak to
off-peak time periods, such as space heating and water heating storage systems.
4 Program costs consist of all costs associated with providing the various DSM programs or measures.
The costs of DSM programs fall into these major categories: customer rebates/incentives,
administration/marketing/training, performance, incentives, research and evaluation, and other (most likely
indirect) costs.
5 Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
NA=Not available.
Note: This table reports on the results of DSM programs operated by electric utilities. The decrease
since 1998 in peakload reductions from DSM programs can be attributed in part to utilities cutting back or
terminating these programs due to industry deregulation. Some State governments have created new
programs to promote DSM. Examples include the "Energy $mart Loan Fund" administered by the New
York Energy Research and Development Authority and the "Efficiency Vermont" program of the Vermont
Public Service Board. Data on energy savings attributable to these non-utility programs are not collected
by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Electricity
Note 1. Coverage of Electricity Statistics. Through 1984, data for electric utilities also include institutions (such as universities) and military facilities that
generated electricity primarily for their own use; beginning in 1985, data for electric utilities exclude institutions and military facilities. Data for independent
power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants include plants with a
generator nameplate capacity of 1 megawatt or greater; they exclude plants with a
generator nameplate capacity less than 1 megawatt. Also excluded from the electricity statistics in Section 8 are data for residential and commercial selfgeneration from solar energy, except for the small amount sold to the grid and
included in data for the electric power sector.
Note 2. Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors. The U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) classifies power plants (both electricityonly and combined-heat-and-power plants) into energy-use sectors based on the North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaced the Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) system in 1997. Plants with a NAICS code of 22 are
assigned to the Electric Power Sector. Those with NAICS codes beginning with 11
(agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting); 21 (mining, including oil and gas extraction); 23 (construction); 31-33 (manufacturing); 2212 (natural gas distribution); and
22131 (water supply and irrigation systems) are assigned to the Industrial Sector.
Those with all other codes are assigned to the Commercial Sector. Form EIA860, Annual Electric Generator Report, asks respondents to indicate the
primary purpose of the facility by assigning a NAICS code from the list at:
http://www.eia.gov/cneaf/electricity/forms/eia860.doc.
Note 3. Electricity Imports and Exports. Through the Annual Energy Review
(AER) 2001, EIA estimated the proportions of traded electricity from fossil fuels
and hydropower (and applied the fossil-fuel steam-electric-plant heat rate to
convert from kilowatthours to Btu) and from geothermal (and applied the heat rate
for geothermal energy plants). Beginning with the AER 2002, because of inadequate data, EIA is applying an overall rate of 3,412 Btu per kilowatthour to all
traded electricity. In addition, electricity net imports derived from hydroelectric
power and geothermal energy are no longer included in renewable energy

268

consumption data. They continue to be included in total U.S. energy consumption


as components of electricity net imports, with energy sources unspecified (see
Tables 1.3 and 2.1f). This change between AER 2001 and AER 2002 resulted in a
0.0-to-0.5 quadrillion Btu drop in total renewable energy consumption from 1949
forward.

Import quantities through 1970 are reported for fiscal years. Prior to 1968, the Atomic Energy
Commission was the sole purchaser of all imported uranium oxide. Trade data prior to 1982 were for
transactions conducted by uranium suppliers only. For 1982 forward, transactions by uranium buyers
(consumers) have been included. Buyer imports and exports prior to 1982 are believed to be small.
3 Does not include any fuel rods removed from reactors and later reloaded.
4 Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
5 Value has been rounded to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

Nuclear Energy
Note 1. Pending Actions on Nuclear Generating Units. Much of Table 9.1 is
based on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulation 10 CFR Part
50, which has in most instances been supplanted by 10 CFR Part 52 following the
passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and procedural reforms initiated in 1989
by the NRC. (This statement applies to permit and license procedures only.)
The NRC did not issue any Early Site Permits (ESP) during 2011. Two ESP
applications are currently under review; one to Victoria County Station and the
other to PSEG Site.
As of December 31, 2011, the NRC had received 18 Combined License (COL)
applications representing 28 nuclear generating units. The following 14 COL
applications are under review: Bell Bend (Pennsylvania); Bellefonte Units 3 and 4
(Alabama); Calvert Cliffs Unit 3 (Maryland); Comanche Peak Units 3 and 4
(Texas); Fermi Unit 3 (Michigan); Levy County Units 1 and 2 (Florida); Nine Mile
Point Unit 3 (New York); North Anna Unit 3 (Virginia); Shearon Harris Units 2
and 3 (North Carolina); South Texas Units 3 and 4 (Texas); Turkey Point Units 6
and 7 (Florida); Virgil C. Summer Units 2 and 3 (South Carolina); Vogtle Units 3
and 4 (Georgia); and William States Lee III Units 1 and 2 (South Carolina). At the
request of the applicants, review has been suspended for three COL applications:
Callaway Unit 2 (Missouri), Grand Gulf Unit 3 (Mississippi), and River Bend Unit
3 (Louisiana). The Victoria County Units 1 and 2 COL application was withdrawn
in 2010 following the announcement that the applicant intends to apply instead for
an ESP with the reactor choice unspecified. In addition to the COL applications
currently under review, Watts Bar Unit 2 is currently under construction. Watts Bar
Unit 2 was issued a construction permit in 1973, and the U.S. Energy Information
Administration projects that it will be brought on line in 2013. This is the only reactor that is anticipated to apply for the license separate of construction permit. TVA
has also requested that Bellefonte Units 1 and 2, two partially completed units, be
moved to deferred plan status as the Agency considers completing one or both.
As of December 31, 2011, 11 applications for license extensions were under
review by the NRC. The NRC granted 20-year license extensions in 2011 to:
Kewaunee Power Station on February 24, Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station
on March 21, Palo Verde Units 1, 2, and 3 on April 21, Prairie Island Units 1 and 2
on June 27, Salem Units 1 and 2 on June 30, and Hope Creek on July 20.
For more information on nuclear reactors, see http://www.nrc.gov/reactors.html.
Note 2. Coverage of Nuclear Energy Statistics. In 1997, the U.S. Energy Information Administration undertook a major revision of Table 9.1 to more fully
describe the history of the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. The time frame
was extended back to the birth of the industry in 1953 and the data categories were
revised for greater relevance to current industry conditions and trends. To acquire
the data for the revised categories, it was necessary to develop a reactor unit
database employing different sources than those used previously for Table 9.1 and
still used for Table 9.2.
276

The data in Table 9.1 apply to commercial nuclear power units, meaning that
the units contributed power to the commercial electricity grid. A total of 259 units
have been ordered over the lifetime of the nuclear industry. Although most orders
were placed by electric utilities, several units were ordered, owned, and operated
wholly or in part by the Federal Government, including BONUS (Boiling Nuclear
Superheater Power Station), Elk River, Experimental Breeder Reactor 2, Hallam,
Hanford N, Piqua, and Shippingport.
A reactor is generally defined as operable in Table 9.1 if it possesses a fullpower license, or an equivalent, from the NRC or its predecessor, the Atomic
Energy Commission, at the end of the year. The definition is liberal in that it does
not exclude units retaining full-power licenses during long, non-routine shutdowns.
For example:

In 1985, the five Tennessee Valley Authority units (Browns Ferry 1, 2,


and 3 and Sequoyah 1 and 2) were shut down under a regulatory forced
outage. Browns Ferry 1 was authorized by the NRC to restart in 2007,
while the other units restarted in 1991, 1995, 1988, and 1988, respectively.
All five units were counted as operable during the shutdowns.

Shippingport was shut down from 1974 through 1976 for conversion to a
lightwater breeder reactor, but is counted as operable until its retirement in
1982.

Calvert Cliffs 2 was shut down in 1989 and 1990 for replacement of
pressurizer heater sleeves but is counted as operable during those years.
Exceptions to the rule are Shoreham and Three Mile Island 2. Shoreham was
granted a full-power license in April 1989, but was shut down two months later
and never restarted. In 1991, the license was changed to Possession Only.
Although not operable at the end of the year, Shoreham is treated as operable
during 1989 and shut down in 1990, because counting it as operable and shut
down in the same year would introduce a statistical discrepancy in the tallies. A
major accident closed Three Mile Island 2 in 1979, and although the unit
retained its full-power license for several years, it is considered permanently
shut down since that year.

Notes: The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP)
plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to
the public. See Tables 8.2a8.2d and 8.3a8.3c for electricity net generation and useful thermal output
from renewable energy sources; Tables 8.4a8.4c, 8.5a8.5d, 8.6a8.6c, and 8.7a8.7c for renewable
energy consumption for electricity generation and useful thermal output; and Tables 8.11a8.11d for
renewable energy electric net summer capacity. See Note 3, "Electricity Imports and Exports," at end of
Section 8. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

1 Total corn and other biomass inputs to the production of undenatured ethanol used for fuel ethanol.
2 Losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol. Does not include natural gas, electricity,
and other non-biomass energy used in the production of fuel ethanolthese are included in the industrial
sector consumption statistics for the appropriate energy source.
3 The amount of denaturant in fuel ethanol produced.
4 Includes denaturant.
5 Net imports equal imports minus exports.
6 A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates an increase.
7 Consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant. Data for fuel ethanol minus denaturant are used to
develop data for "Renewable Energy/Biomass" in Tables 10.110.2b, as well as in Sections 1 and 2.
8 Derived from the preliminary 2010 stocks value (17,940 thousand barrels), not the final 2010 value
(17,941 thousand barrels) that is shown under "Stocks."
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Notes: Fuel ethanol data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by multiplying by 0.042,
and are converted to Btu by multiplying by the approximate heat content of fuel ethanolsee Table A3.
Through 1980, data are not available. For 19811992, data are estimates. For 19932008, only data for
feedstock, losses and co-products, and denaturant are estimates. Beginning in 2009, only data for
feedstock, and losses and co-products, are estimates. See "Denaturant," "Ethanol," "Fuel Ethanol," and
"Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant" in Glossary. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding.
Web Pages: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#renewable for updated monthly and
annual data. See http://www.eia.gov/petroleum/supply/monthly/ for related information.
Sources: Feedstock: Calculated as fuel ethanol production (in thousand barrels) minus denaturant, and
then multiplied by the fuel ethanol feedstock factorsee Table A3. Losses and Co-products: Calculated
as fuel ethanol feedstock plus denaturant minus fuel ethanol production. Denaturant: 1981-2008Data
in thousand barrels for petroleum denaturant in fuel ethanol produced are estimated as 2 percent of fuel
ethanol production; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 4.645 million Btu per barrel (the
estimated quantity-weighted factor of pentanes plus and conventional motor gasoline used as denaturant).

report, Table 1, and Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), monthly reports, Table 1. Data in thousand barrels
for net production of pentanes plus at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are multiplied by -1; these data
are converted to Btu by multiplying by 4.620 million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of
pentanes plus). Data in thousand barrels for net production of conventional motor gasoline and motor
gasoline blending components at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are multiplied by -1; these data are
converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.253 million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of
conventional motor gasoline). Total denaturant is the sum of the values for pentanes plus, conventional
motor gasoline, and motor gasoline blending components. Production: 1981-1992Fuel ethanol
production is assumed to equal fuel ethanol consumptionsee sources for "Consumption."
1993-2004Calculated as fuel ethanol consumption plus fuel ethanol stock change minus fuel ethanol
net imports. These data differ slightly from the original production data from EIA, Form EIA-819, "Monthly
Oxygenate Report," and predecessor form, which were not reconciled and updated to be consistent with
the final balance. 2005-2008EIA, Form EIA-819, "Monthly Oxygenate Report." 2009 and

oxygenated finished motor gasoline field production (Table 2), plus fuel ethanol refinery input (Table 16).
2005-2008EIA, PSA, annual reports, Tables 1 and 15. Calculated as motor gasoline blending
components adjustments (Table 1), plus finished motor gasoline adjustments (Table 1), plus fuel ethanol
refinery and blender net inputs (Table 15). 2009 and 2010EIA, PSA, Table 1. Calculated as fuel
ethanol refinery and blender net inputs minus fuel ethanol adjustments. 2011EIA, PSM (February
2012), Table 1. Calculated as fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs minus fuel ethanol adjustments.
Consumption Minus Denaturant: Calculated as fuel ethanol consumption minus the amount of
denaturant in fuel ethanol consumed. Denaturant in fuel ethanol consumed is estimated by multiplying
denaturant in fuel ethanol produced by the fuel ethanol consumption-to-production ratio.

Remaining portion is motor gasoline. Consumption data include the motor gasoline portion of the fuel.
One hundred percent methanol.
Includes only those E85 vehicles believed to be used as alternative-fuels vehicles (AFVs), primarily
fleet-operated vehicles; excludes other vehicles with E85-fueling capability. In 1997, some vehicle
manufacturers began including E85-fueling capability in certain model lines of vehicles. For 2010, the U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that the number of E85 vehicles that are capable of
operating on E85, motor gasoline, or both, is about 10 million. Many of these AFVs are sold and used as
traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
6 Excludes gasoline-electric hybrids.
7 May include P-Series fuel or any other fuel designated by the Secretary of Energy as an alternative
fuel in acordance with the Energy Policy Act of 1995.
8 In addition to methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), includes a very small amount of other ethers,
primarily tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME) and ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE).
9 Data do not include the motor gasoline portion of the fuel.
10 "Biodiesel" may be used as a diesel fuel substitute or diesel fuel additive or extender. See "Biodiesel"
in Glossary.
11 "Vehicles in Use" data represent accumulated acquisitions, less retirements, as of the end of each
calendar year; data do not include concept and demonstration vehicles that are not ready for delivery to

12 Fuel consumption quantities are expressed in a common base unit of gasoline-equivalent gallons to
allow comparisons of different fuel types. Gasoline-equivalent gallons do not represent gasoline
displacement. Gasoline equivalent is computed by dividing the gross heat content of the replacement fuel
by the gross heat content of gasoline (using an approximate heat content of 122,619 Btu per gallon) and
multiplying the result by the replacement fuel consumption value. See "Heat Content" in Glossary.
NA=Not available.

1 Low-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate at temperatures below
110 F.
2 Medium-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate in the temperature
range of 140 F to 180 F but can also operate at temperatures as low as 110 F. Special collectors are
included in this category. Special collectors are evacuated tube collectors or concentrating (focusing)
collectors. They operate in the temperature range from just above ambient temperature (low concentration
for pool heating) to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit (high concentration for air conditioning and
specialized industrial processes).
3 High-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate at temperatures above
180 F. High-temperature collector shipments are dominated by one manufacturer, and the collectors are
used by the electric power sector to build new central station solar thermal power plants and generate
electricity. Year-to-year fluctations depend on how much new capacity is brought online.
4 Prices equal shipment value divided by quantity shipped. Value includes charges for advertising and
warranties. Excluded are excise taxes and the cost of freight or transportation for the shipments.

Total Shipments

Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
No data are available for 1985.
NA=Not available. =No data reported. =Not applicable. W=Value withheld to avoid disclosure of
proprietary company data.
Notes: Data for this table are not available for 2010. Shipments data are for domestic and export
shipments, and may include imports that subsequently were shipped to domestic or foreign customers.
Manufacturers producing more than one type of collector are accounted for in both groups.

Renewable Energy
Note. Renewable Energy Production and Consumption. In Tables 1.1, 1.3, and
10.1, renewable energy consumption consists of: conventional hydroelectricity net
generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat ratesee Table A6); geothermal
electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat ratesee Table
A6), and geothermal heat pump and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and
photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat
ratesee Table A6), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation
(converted to Btu using the fossil-fuels heat ratesee Table A6); wood and woodderived fuels consumption; biomass waste (municipal solid waste from biogenic
sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biomass)
consumption; fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) and biodiesel consumption; and losses and
co-products from the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. In Tables 1.1, 1.2, and
10.1, renewable energy production is assumed to equal consumption for all renewable
energy sources except biofuels (biofuels production comprises biomass inputs to the
production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel).

1 Natural gas production, processing, and distribution; processing is not included in 1980 and is
incompletely covered in 19811989.
2 Petroleum production, refining, and distribution.
3 Emissions from passenger cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, and other transport.
4 Consumption of coal, petroleum, natural gas, and wood for heat or electricity.
5 See notes on components for specific coverage, which is inconsistent prior to 1990 in some cases.
6 19801983, domestic wastewater only; 1984 forward, industrial and domestic wastewater.
7 Methane emitted as a product of digestion in animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and swine.
8 Estimation methods for 1990 forward reflect a shift in waste management away from liquid systems to
dry-lot systems, thus lowering emissions.
9 Chemical production, and iron and steel production.
NA=Not available.
Notes: Data for this table are not available for 2010. Emissions are from anthropogenic sources.

"Anthropogenic" means produced as the result of human activities, including emissions from agricultural
activity and domestic livestock. Emissions from natural sources, such as wetlands and wild animals, are
not included. Under certain conditions, methane may be produced via anaerobic decomposition of
organic materials in landfills, animal wastes, and rice paddies. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

Environment
Note. Accounting for Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Biomass Energy
Combustion. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the combustion of biomass to
produce energy are excluded from the total energy-related CO2 emissions reported in
the Annual Energy Review Section 11, but appear separately in Tables 11.111.2e.
According to current international convention (see the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Changes 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories), carbon released through biomass combustion is excluded from
reported energy-related emissions. The release of carbon from biomass combustion is assumed to be balanced by the uptake of carbon when the feedstock is
grown, resulting in zero net emissions over some period of time. (This is not to
say that biomass energy is carbon-neutral. Energy inputs are required in order to
grow, fertilize, and harvest the feedstock and to produce and process the biomass
into fuels.)
However, analysts have debated whether increased use of biomass energy may result
in a decline in terrestrial carbon stocks, leading to a net positive release of carbon
rather than the zero net release assumed by its exclusion from reported

320

energy-related emissions. For example, the clearing of forests for biofuel crops
could result in an initial release of carbon that is not fully recaptured in subsequent
use of the land for agriculture.
To reflect the potential net emissions, the international convention for greenhouse
gas inventories is to report biomass emissions in the category agriculture, forestry,
and other land use, usually based on estimates of net changes in carbon stocks over
time.
This indirect accounting of CO2 emissions from biomass can potentially lead to
confusion in accounting for and understanding the flow of CO2 emissions within
energy and non-energy systems. In recognition of this issue, reporting of CO2
emissions from biomass combustion alongside other energy-related CO2 emissions
offers an alternative accounting treatment. It is important, however, to avoid
misinterpreting emissions from fossil energy and biomass energy sources as
necessarily additive. Instead, the combined total of direct CO2 emissions from
biomass and energy-related CO2 emissions implicitly assumes that none of the
carbon emitted was previously or subsequently reabsorbed in terrestrial sinks or that
other emissions sources offset any such sequestration.

Appendix A
British Thermal Unit Conversion Factors
Using Thermal Conversion Factors
The thermal conversion factors presented in the following tables can be used to estimate the heat content in British thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy
measured in physical units, such as barrels or cubic feet. For example, 10 barrels of
asphalt has a heat content of approximately 66.36 million Btu (10 barrels x 6.636
million Btu per barrel = 66.36 million Btu).
The heat content rates (i.e., thermal conversion factors) provided in this section
represent the gross (or higher or upper) energy content of the fuels. Gross heat
content rates are applied in all Btu calculations for the Annual Energy Review and
are commonly used in energy calculations in the United States; net (or lower) heat
content rates are typically used in European energy calculations. The difference
between the two rates is the amount of energy that is consumed to vaporize water
that is created during the combustion process. Generally, the difference ranges from
2 percent to 10 percent, depending on the specific fuel and its hydrogen content.
Some fuels, such as unseasoned wood, can be more than 40 percent different in
their gross and net heat content rates. See Heat Content and British thermal unit
(Btu) in the Glossary for more information.
Thermal conversion factors for hydrocarbon mixes (Table A1) are weighted averages of the thermal conversion factors for each hydrocarbon included in the mix.
For example, in calculating the thermal conversion factor for a 60-40 butanepropane mixture, the thermal conversion factor for butane is weighted 1.5 times the
thermal conversion factor for propane.
In general, the annual thermal conversion factors presented in Tables A2 through
A6 are computed from final annual data, or are from the best available data and
labeled preliminary. Often, the previous years factor is used as the preliminary
value until data become available to calculate the factor appropriate to the year. The
source of each factor is described in the section entitled Thermal Conversion
Factor Source Documentation, which follows Table A6 in this appendix.

1 Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned directly as fuel.
Quantity-weighted averages of the petroleum products included in each category are calculated by using
heat content values shown in Table A1.
2 Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline.
3 Beginning in 2009, includes renewable diesel fuel (including biodiesel) blended into distillate fuel oil.
4 Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose
primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. Through 1988, data are for
electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers.
5 Electric power sector factors are weighted average heat contents for distillate fuel oil, petroleum coke,
and residual fuel oil; they exclude other liquids.
6 There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1966 and 1967; beginning in 1967, the single
constant factor is replaced by a quantity-weighted factorquantity-weighted averages of the major
components of liquefied petroleum gases are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.

9 Corn input to the production of undenatured ethanol (million Btu corn per barrel undenatured ethanol),
used as the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the production of undenatured ethanol. Observed
ethanol yields (gallons undenatured ethanol per bushel of corn) are 2.5 in 1980, 2.666 in 1998, 2.68 in
2002, and 2.764 in 2009; yields in other years are estimated. Corn is assumed to have a gross heat
content of 0.392 million Btu per bushel. Undenatured ethanol is assumed to have a gross heat content of
3.539 million Btu per barrel.
10 Soybean oil input to the production of biodiesel (million Btu soybean oil per barrel biodiesel), used as
the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the production of biodiesel. It is assumed that 7.65 pounds of
soybean oil are needed to produce one gallon of biodiesel, and 5.433 million Btu of soybean oil are needed
to produce one barrel of biodiesel. Soybean oil is assumed to have a gross heat content of 16,909 Btu per
pound, or 5.483 million Btu per barrel. Biodiesel is assumed to have a gross heat content of 17,253 Btu per
pound, or 5.359 million Btu per barrel.

Notes: Residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation petroleum heat contents are revised
beginning in 1949 due to a change in the estimation methodology. The heat content values in this table
are for gross heat contents. See "Heat Content" in Glossary.

a gross heat content of 16,909 Btu per pound, or 5.483 million Btu per barrel.
Ethanol (Undenatured). EIA adopted the thermal conversion factor of 3.539
million Btu per barrel published in Oxygenate Flexibility for Future Fuels, a
paper presented by William J. Piel of the ARCO Chemical Company at the National
Conference on Reformulated Gasolines and Clean Air Act Implementation, Washington, D.C., October 1991.
Fuel Ethanol (Denatured). 19812008: EIA used the 2009 factor. 2009
forward: Calculated by EIA as the annual quantity-weighted average of the thermal
conversion factors for undenatured ethanol (3.539 million Btu per barrel), pentanes
plus used as denaturant (4.620 million Btu per barrel), and conventional motor
gasoline used as denaturant (5.253 million Btu per barrel). The quantity of ethanol
consumed is from EIAs Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA) and Petroleum Supply
Monthly (PSM), Table 1, data for renewable fuels and oxygenate plant net production of fuel ethanol. The quantity of pentanes plus used as denaturant is from
PSA/PSM, Table 1, data for renewable fuels and oxygenate plant net production of
pentanes plus, multiplied by -1. The quantity of conventional motor gasoline and
motor gasoline blending components used as denaturant is from PSA/PSM, Table 1,
data for renewable fuels and oxygenate plant net production of conventional motor
gasoline and motor gasoline blending components, multiplied by -1.

Appendix B. Metric Conversion Factors, Metric Prefixes,


and Other Physical Conversion Factors
Data presented in the Annual Energy Review and in other U.S. Energy Information Administration publications are expressed predominately in units that
historically have been used in the United States, such as British thermal units,
barrels, cubic feet, and short tons.
The metric conversion factors presented in Table B1 can be used to calculate
the metric-unit equivalents of values expressed in U.S. customary units. For
example, 500 short tons are the equivalent of 453.6 metric tons (500 short tons
x 0.9071847 metric tons/short ton = 453.6 metric tons).

In the metric system of weights and measures, the names of multiples and subdivisions of any unit may be derived by combining the name of the unit with prefixes,
such as deka, hecto, and kilo, meaning, respectively, 10, 100, 1,000, and deci, centi,
and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth.
Common metric prefixes can be found in Table B2.
The conversion factors presented in Table B3 can be used to calculate equivalents in
various physical units commonly used in energy analyses. For example, 10 barrels
are the equivalent of 420 U.S. gallons (10 barrels x 42 gallons/barrel = 420 gallons).

converted to Btu using the conversion factor of 20 million Btu per cord. The annual average value for each
decade was assigned to the fifth year of the decade on the assumption that annual use was likely to
increase during any given decade and the average annual value was more likely to reflect mid-decade
yearly consumption than use at either the beginning or end of the decade. Values thus begin in 1635 and
are plotted at 10-year intervals. 1850-1945: Energy in the American Economy, 1850-1975, Table VII.

Appendix E
Note: Geographic Coverage of Statistics for 1635-1945. Table E1 presents
estimates of U.S. energy consumption by energy source for a period that begins a
century and a half before the original 13 colonies formed a political union and
continues through the decades during which the United States was still expanding
territorially. The question thus arises, what exactly is meant by U.S. consumption
of an energy source for those years when the United States did not formally exist or
consisted of less territory than is now encompassed by the 50 States and the District
of Columbia?
The documents used to assemble the estimates, and (as far as possible) the sources
of those documents, were reviewed carefully for clues to geographic coverage. For
most energy sources, the extent of coverage expanded more rapidly than the Nation,
defined as all the official States and the District of Columbia. Estimates or
measurements of consumption of each energy source generally appear to follow
settlement patterns. That is, they were made for areas of the continent that were
settled enough to have economically significant consumption even though those
areas were not to become States for years. The wood data series, for example,
begins in 1635 and includes 12 of the original colonies (excepting Georgia), as well

342

as Maine, Vermont, and the area that would become the District of Columbia. By
the time the series reaches 1810, the rest of the continental States are all included,
although the last of the 48 States to achieve statehood did not do so until 1912.
Likewise, the coal data series begins in 1850 but includes consumption in areas,
such as Utah and Washington (State), which were significant coal-producing
regions but had not yet attained statehood. (Note: No data were available on
State-level historical coal consumption. The coal data shown in Table E1 through
1945 describe apparent consumption, i.e., production plus imports minus exports.
The geographic coverage for coal was therefore based on a tally of coal-producing
States listed in various historical issues of Minerals Yearbook. It is likely that coal
was consumed in States where it was not mined in significant quantities.)
By energy source, the extent of coverage can be summarized as follows: Coal35

Appendix F
Alternatives for Estimating Energy Consumption

This appendix is reprinted from the Annual Energy Review 2010. EIA continues to review alternative options for accounting for
energy consumption and related losses, such as those associated with the generation and distribution of electricity.

without fuel combustion, there are no set Btu conversion factors for these energy
sources.

I. Introduction
This year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has examined different
ways to represent energy consumption in the Annual Energy Review (AER). This
examination centered on two methods for representing related aspects of energy
consumption and losses. The first is an alternative method for deriving the energy
content of noncombustible renewable resources, which has been implemented in
AER 2010 (Table 1.3). The second is a new representation of delivered total energy
and energy losses.
This appendix provides an explanation of these alternative methods. Section II
provides a background discussion of the alternatives and the reasons for considering
these changes to the energy balance presentation. Section III identifies the specific
changes incorporated in AER 2010.

II. Background
Alternative Approaches for Deriving Energy Contents for
Noncombustible Renewables
EIA compiles data on most energy sources in physical units, such as barrels and
cubic feet, in order to calculate total primary energy consumption. Before
aggregation, EIA converts data for these energy sources to the common unit of
British thermal units (Btu), a measure that is based on the thermal conversion of
energy resources to heat and power.
Noncombustible renewables are resources from which energy is extracted without
the burning or combustion of a fuel. They include hydroelectric, geothermal, solar,
and wind energy. Because power from noncombustible renewables is produced

In the past, EIA has represented hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy consumed for
electric generation as the amount of energy it would require, on average, to produce
an equivalent number of kilowatthours (kWh) of electricity using fossil fuels. In this
appendix, this approach is referred to as the "fossil-fuel equivalency" approach. For
the remaining noncombustible renewable resource, geothermal energy, energy
consumed for electricity generation has been based on estimates of plant efficiencies
in converting geothermal energy to electricity.
The fossil-fuel equivalency approach evolved in an era when the primary goal of
U.S. energy policy was reducing dependence on imported petroleum and when a
significant amount of electricity was generated using fuel oil. It was intended to
indicate the amount of fossil energy displaced by the renewable energy source. But
fuel oil is no longer used to generate electricity to a substantial degree and the
international community largely uses a different approach, applying the constant
conversion factor of 3,412 Btu/kWh. In addition, using a separate approach for
geothermal generation may distort the analysis of the relative share of this
generation resource. EIA also has a desire to better account for energy losses and
efficiency. For these reasons, EIA considered three alternative methods for deriving
the energy contents for noncombustible renewables, designated here as the
fossil-fuel equivalency, captured energy, and incident energy approaches.

Fossil-Fuel Equivalency Approach


With this approach, EIA would continue to apply the fossil-fuel equivalent
conversion factor to hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy and would begin applying
it to geothermal energy. This approach would eliminate the inconsistency between
geothermal and other noncombustibles, enable fuel displacement analysis, and

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2011

343

maintain the continuity of a data series with which users are familiar. However, the
fossil-fuel equivalency approach does not represent any real market quantity. It
measures neither primary energy consumed nor fossil fuel actually displaced.
Additionally, its use will likely become increasingly problematic if renewables begin
to displace other renewables instead of fossil fuels.

Captured Energy Approach


With this approach, EIA would apply the fixed factor of 3,412 Btu/kWh (the Btu
value of electric energy generated) to measure the renewable energy consumed for
electric generation for all noncombustible renewables. Using this approach would
effectively count as primary energy only that noncombustible renewable energy that
is captured for economic use.
EIA will use the term captured energy in referring to the energy actually "captured"
by a noncombustible renewable energy system for final use. Thus, it is the net
energy available for consumption after transformation of a noncombustible
renewable resource into a usable energy carrier (such as electricity) or energy that is
directly used. Another way of stating it is that captured energy is the energy
measured as the "output" of the device, such as electricity from a wind turbine or
solar plant.
This approach would not require EIA to make generalized assumptions regarding
the actual conversion of these resources (wind, sunshine, falling water) into
electricity. It would move U.S. reporting standards closer to international norms,
which have been vetted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the
international energy statistical community through years of actual use.
Additionally, this approach better shows the economically significant energy
transformations in the United States because the "lost" noncombustible renewable
energy does not incur any significant economic cost (there is no market for the
resource-specific energy apart from its immediate, site-specific energy conversion,
and there is no substantive opportunity cost to its continued exploitation.1) On the
other hand, this approach implies that conversion of noncombustible renewable
energy is 100-percent efficient. In other words, it implies that there is no physical
energy loss from the conversion of noncombustible renewables to electricity. In
fact, renewable energy conversion can be very inefficient (largely because of the
lack of alternative economic uses discussed above). Thus, this approach does not
provide an accurate measure of the physical consumption of energy to produce
electricity from these resources.

Incident Energy Approach


With this approach, EIA would use actual or estimated energy efficiencies of renewable
conversion technologies to determine the Btu value of the input energy used to produce
reported renewable generation. For example, rather than treating the electricity generated
at a solar plant as primary energy, an empirical estimate of the actual portion of solar
radiation incident on the solar panel that is converted to electricity would be used.
EIA will define "incident energy" for noncombustible renewable resources as the
gross energy that first strikes an energy conversion device. In contrast to captured
energy, incident energy is the mechanical, radiation, or thermal energy that is
measurable at the "input" of the device. For wind, this would be the energy
contained in the wind that passes through the rotor disc; for solar, the energy
contained in the sunlight that strikes the panel or collector mirror; for hydroelectric,
the energy contained in the water passing through the penstock (a closed conduit for
carrying water to the turbines); and, for geothermal, the energy contained in the hot
fluid at the surface of the wellbore.
This approach lends itself to a view of showing the physical reality of energy
transformations in the United States. However, few renewable energy plants track
cumulative input energy because of its lack of economic significance. Therefore, it
would be difficult to obtain accurate estimates of efficiency without creating undue
burden on survey respondents. Furthermore, this approach has not been vetted in
the energy statistics community and its use would be inconsistent with IEA and
other international statistics.
Table F1 shows factors that could be used to estimate the energy incident on the
primary energy collection device of a noncombustible renewable power plant.
These factors represent energy output as a percent of energy input. The conversion
efficiency of renewable generation equipment is generally specified by the
manufacturer, although this specification may differ from realized efficiencies for
several reasons, including: the effects of balance-of-plant factors; environmental
conditions that are different than conditions that the equipment was rated for; and
variability in operating conditions for equipment that is rated under fixed conditions.
The efficiencies shown in this table are not estimates of the actual, operational
efficiency of the technologies indicated. Rather they are notional indications of the
efficiencies that each technology may be able to achieve with typical equipment
operating within the normal operating range for that technology.

There is an initial opportunity cost when first building such a facility: the water behind a dam might inundate land with alternative uses or a solar panel might shade some
area that could otherwise use the sunlight. But that is a fixed opportunity cost that does not effectively change by normal operation of the plant.

Efficiencies may vary significantly for each technology based on site-specific

typical equipment under specific operational conditions.
Sources: Geothermal: Estimated by EIA on the basis of an informal survey of
relevant plants. Conventional Hydroelectric: Based on published estimates for the
efficiency of large-scale hydroelectric plants. See
http://www.usbr.gov/power/edu/pamphlet.pdf. Solar Photovoltaic: Based on the average
rated efficiency for a sample of commercially available modules. Rated efficiency is the
conversion efficiency under standard test conditions, which represents a fixed, controlled
operating point for the equipment; efficiency can vary with temperature and the strength of
incident sunlight. Rated efficiencies are based on the direct current (DC) output of the
module; since grid-tied applications require alternating current (AC) output, efficiencies
are adjusted to account for a 20 percent reduction in output when converting from DC to
AC. Solar Thermal Power: Estimated by dividing the rated maximum power available
from the generator by the power available under standard solar conditions (1,000 W/m2)
from the aperture area of solar collectors. Wind: Based on the average efficiency at rated
wind speed for a sample of commercially available wind turbines. The rated wind speed is
the minimum wind speed at which a turbine achieves its nameplate rated output under
standard atmospheric conditions. Efficiency is calculated by dividing the nameplate rated
power by the power available from the wind stream intercepted by the rotor disc at the
rated wind speed.

Conclusion
After review of the three options, EIA has elected to follow a hybrid of the first two
approaches for the AER 2010. The primary energy value of noncombustible
renewables consumed for electricity generation will be measured using the
fossil-fuel equivalent factor. However, this value will be reported as the sum of
captured energy and an "Adjustment for Fossil Fuel Equivalence," which is the
difference between the fossil-fuel equivalent value and the value obtained using the
3,412 Btu/kWh factor. This adjustment value represents the energy loss that would
have been incurred if the electricity had been generated by fossil fuels. For solar
and geothermal energy used directly, EIA will continue to use the factors currently
employed.

This method will not cause a change to total primary energy consumption of hydro,
solar, or wind energy, but it will allow users to easily distinguish actual economic
energy consumption from the imputed displacement value, which is retained both to
provide backward compatibility for data users accustomed to this measure and to
allow for easier analysis of certain energy efficiency and production trends. The
separate reporting of captured energy will also facilitate comparisons with
international data sets.
For geothermal energy consumed to generate electricity, EIA will recalculate current
and historical values using the fossil-fuel equivalent factor. This recalculation will
change the following values presented in the AER 2010: the primary consumption
of total energy (Tables 1.1 and 1.3); the consumption of geothermal for electricity
generation (Tables 8.4a and b); and the consumption of renewable energy (Tables
10.1 and 10.2c).

New Representation of Delivered Total Energy and Energy Losses


The examination of heat rates for noncombustible fuels led EIA to also consider
alternative methods of accounting for final energy consumption and energy losses.
Final energy consumption differs from primary energy consumption in that it
represents the amount (in terms of Btu) of energy actually consumed, in its final
form, by an end user. For example, primary energy consumption of coal includes all
the heat content in the coal consumed, while final energy consumption will include
only the heat content of any coal consumed in its original form and the heat content
of any products transformed from coal, such as electricity generated from coal.
EIA analyzed energy transformation in the United States. In all transformation
processes, some useful energy is lost in achieving the conversion from one energy
form to another. The most significant losses, by far, occur when electricity is
generated from primary energy resources. Figure F1 illustrates an alternate method
of accounting for energy consumption, based on the concept of delivered total
energy.
In the AER 2010, as in previous AERs, the electric power sector is viewed as an
energy-consuming sector. For each of the end-use sectors residential, commercial,
industrial, and transportation total energy consumption is made up of the primary
energy source consumed plus electricity retail sales and electrical system energy
losses. Electrical system energy losses include transformation losses, the adjustment
for fossil fuel equivalence (as discussed above), power plant use of electricity,
transmission and distribution losses, and unaccounted for electricity. They are
allocated to the end-use demand sectors in proportion to each sector's share of total
electricity sales.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2011

345

In the alternative representation (Figure F1), the electric power sector is not treated
as an energy-consuming sector but as a sector that transforms and redistributes
energy to final users. In order to better represent the amount of energy actually
consumed by the final user, this method eliminates the allocation of electrical system
energy losses to consuming sectors. Electricity retail sales to each sector, as
reported by energy service providers, continue to be viewed as end-use
consumption and, thus, are included in Delivered Total Energy. In Figure F1,
delivered total energy represents the gross energy that enters an end-use facility
(home, business, factory, and so forth). In some cases, there are conversion or
transformation processes within the facility that create additional losses before the
final consumption of the energy, so that the net energy consumed for useful
application will be less than shown in the figure. For example, natural gas furnaces
typically lose some amount of heat in the chimney, energy which then does not go
toward heating the building.
Table F2 provides a comparison of Primary Energy Consumption and Delivered
Total Energy by energy-use sector. Sources for Primary Energy Consumption by
sector are AER Tables 5.14, 6.5, 7.3, 8.9, and 10.2. Data from those tables are
converted from physical units to Btu using heat contents given in Appendix A.
Sources for Delivered Total Energy are AER Tables 2.1 b through e.

III. Changes to the AER 2010


The major change to AER 2010 is the modification of Table 1.3 to incorporate the
new treatment of noncombustible renewable energy consumption. The value of
geothermal energy consumption and, consequently, total primary energy
consumption is slightly lower than previously published for all years due to the use
of a new geothermal conversion factor (the fossil-fuels heat rate from Table A6).
See Section II of this appendix for further explanation.
The sum of hydroelectric, geothermal, solar, and wind primary consumption is now
shown as total primary energy consumption for noncombustible renewables. That
total includes: geothermal heat pump and direct use of geothermal energy; solar
thermal direct use energy; and noncombustible resources that are transformed into
electricity. Noncombustible resources transformed into electricity are equal to
electricity generation from all noncombustible renewables converted to Btu using
the fossil-fuels heat rate. Direct final consumption of geothermal and solar energy is
obtained from AER Tables 10.2a and 10.2b.

Total primary consumption for noncombustible renewables is the sum of captured


energy (or energy produced) and the "adjustment for fossil fuel equivalence." Like
total primary consumption, captured energy includes: geothermal heat pump and
direct use of geothermal energy; solar thermal direct use energy; and
noncombustible resources that are transformed into electricity. However, electricity
generation for all noncombustible renewables is converted to Btu using the energy
content of electricity, 3,412 Btu per kWh.
The "adjustment for fossil fuel equivalence" is equal to the difference between total
primary consumption of noncombustibles in Btu (calculated using the fossil-fuels
heat rate) and captured energy. There is no adjustment for fossil fuel equivalence
associated with direct consumption of geothermal and solar energy.
In order to prevent any inconsistency between data presented in the modified Table
1.3 and the AER Section 10, "Renewable Energy," EIA will show data for the
individual noncombustible renewables (hydroelectricity, wind, etc.,) in Section 10
only.
In the AER 2010, total primary energy consumed for individual
noncombustible renewables can be found in Table 10.1. A detailed breakout of the
noncombustible renewable consumption components summarized in Table 1.3 is
provided in Table F3. Table F3 shows the components of captured energy and the
adjustment for fossil fuel equivalence (regarded as a loss), by individual energy
source, for 2010. The columns labeled "Transformed into Electricity" represent the
energy value of electricity generated from each type of noncombustible renewable
resource. These values are calculated by multiplying net generation in Table 8.2 by
3,412 Btu/kWh.
For each noncombustible renewable, the adjustment for fossil fuel equivalence is
calculated as the difference between the fossil fuel equivalent value of electricity
generated and the value of Transformed into Electricity. 2 For geothermal, direct
consumption is the heat either captured and used directly from thermal ground water
sources or extracted by ground-source heat pump. Values are from Tables 10.2a and
10.2b. Solar/PV direct consumption includes solar thermal energy used directly in
the residential and electric power sectors. These values are from Tables 10.2a and
10.2c. Captured energy is equal to energy "transformed into electricity" for
conventional hydroelectricity and wind. For geothermal and solar/PV, captured
energy equals the sum of direct consumption and energy transformed into electricity.

The fossil fuel equivalent value of electricity generated is equal to electricity in kWh times the average heat content of the fossil fuel mix actually consumed in generating
electricity for a given year.

that are the result of human activities, as well as other potentially climate-altering
activities, such as deforestation.

Alternative Fuel: Alternative fuels, for transportation applications, include the


following: methanol; denatured ethanol, and other alcohols; fuel mixtures containing 85 percent or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol, and other alcohols with motor gasoline or other fuels; natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas
(propane); hydrogen; coal-derived liquid fuels; fuels (other than alcohol) derived
from biological materials (biofuels such as soy diesel fuel); electricity (including
electricity from solar energy); and "... any other fuel the Secretary determines, by
rule, is substantially not petroleum and would yield substantial energy security
benefits and substantial environmental benefits." The term "alternative fuel" does
not include alcohol or other blended portions of primarily petroleum-based fuels

per short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of anthracite
consumed in the United States averages 25 million Btu per short ton, on the
as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral matter).
Note: Since the 1980s, anthracite refuse or mine waste has been used for steamelectric power generation. This fuel typically has a heat content of 15 million Btu
per short ton or less. See Coal Rank.

API Gravity: American Petroleum Institute measure of specific gravity of crude


oil or condensate in degrees. An arbitrary scale expressing the gravity or density of
liquid petroleum products. The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of degrees
API; it is calculated as follows: Degrees API = (141.5 / sp.gr.60 deg.F/60 deg.F) 131.5.
Asphalt: A dark-brown to black cement-like material obtained by petroleum processing and containing bitumens as the predominant component; used primarily for
road construction. It includes crude asphalt as well as the following finished products: cements, fluxes, the asphalt content of emulsions (exclusive of water), and

all units at the facility under continuous operation to account for the following limitations that may delay, interrupt, or slow down production: 1) the capability of
downstream processing units to absorb the output of crude oil processing facilities of a given refinery (no reduction is necessary for intermediate streams that
are distributed to other than downstream facilities as part of a refinerys normal
operation); 2) the types and grades of inputs to be processed; 3) the types and
grades of products expected to be manufactured; 4) the environmental constraints
associated with refinery operations; 5) the reduction of capacity for scheduled
downtime due to such conditions as routine inspection, maintenance, repairs, and
turnaround; and 6) the reduction of capacity for unscheduled downtime due to
such conditions as mechanical problems, repairs, and slowdowns.
Base Gas: The volume of gas needed as a permanent inventory to maintain
adequate underground storage reservoir pressures and deliverability rates
throughout the withdrawal season. All native gas is included in the base gas
volume.
Biodiesel: A fuel typically made from soybean, canola, or other vegetable oils;
animal fats; and recycled grease. It can serve as a substitute for petroleum-derived
diesel fuel or distillate fuel oil. For U.S. Energy Information Administration reporting, it is a fuel composed of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from
vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of
ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials) D 6751.

steam-electric power generation, with substantial quantities also used for heat and
power applications in manufacturing and making coke. Bituminous coal is the
most abundant coal in active U.S. mining regions. Its moisture content usually is
less than 20 percent. The heat content of bituminous coal ranges from 21 to 30
million Btu per short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content
of bituminous coal consumed in the United States averages 24 million Btu per
short ton, on the as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and
mineral matter). See Coal Rank.
Black Liquor: A byproduct of the paper production process, alkaline spent liquor,
that can be used as a source of energy. Alkaline spent liquor is removed from the
digesters in the process of chemically pulping wood. After evaporation, the residual
"black" liquor is burned as a fuel in a recovery furnace that permits the recovery of
certain basic chemicals.
Breeze: The fine screenings from crushed coke. Usually breeze will pass through a
1/2-inch or 3/4-inch screen opening. It is most often used as a fuel source in the
process of agglomerating iron ore.
British Thermal Unit (Btu): The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature
of 1 pound of liquid water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which water
has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees Fahrenheit). See Heat Content.
Btu: See British Thermal Unit.

Biofuels: Liquid fuels and blending components produced from biomass (plant)
feedstocks, used primarily for transportation. See Biodiesel and Fuel Ethanol.
Biogenic: Produced by biological processes of living organisms. Note: EIA uses the
term biogenic to refer only to organic nonfossil material of biological origin.
Biomass: Organic nonfossil material of biological origin constituting a renewable
energy source. See Biodiesel, Biofuels, Biomass Waste, Fuel Ethanol, and Wood
and Wood-Derived Fuels.
Biomass Waste: Organic nonfossil material of biological origin that is a byproduct or a discarded product. Biomass waste includes municipal solid waste from
biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural crop byproducts, straw,
and other biomass solids, liquids, and gases; but excludes wood and woodderived fuels (including black liquor), biofuels feedstock, biodiesel, and fuel
ethanol. Note: EIA biomass waste data also include energy crops grown
specifically for energy production, which would not normally constitute waste.
Bituminous Coal: A dense coal, usually black, sometimes dark brown, often
with well-defined bands of bright and dull material, used primarily as fuel in

350

Btu Conversion Factor: A factor for converting energy data between one unit of
measurement and British thermal units (Btu). Btu conversion factors are generally
used to convert energy data from physical units of measure (such as barrels, cubic
feet, or short tons) into the energy-equivalent measure of Btu. (See
http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mer/append_a.html for further information on Btu conversion factors.)
Bunker Fuels: Fuel supplied to ships and aircraft, both domestic and foreign,
consisting primarily of residual fuel oil and distillate fuel oil for ships and
kerosene-type jet fuel for aircraft. The term international bunker fuels is used
to denote the consumption of fuel for international transport activities. Note: For
the purposes of greenhouse gas emissions inventories, data on emissions from
combustion of international bunker fuels are subtracted from national emissions
totals. Historically, bunker fuels have meant only ship fuel.
Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon
(C4H10) extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams. It includes isobutane
and normal butane and is designated in ASTM Specification D1835 and Gas
Processors Association Specifications for commercial butane.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2011

Isobutane: A normally gaseous branched-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 10.9 degrees Fahrenheit. It
is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams.
Normal Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. It is a
colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 31.1 degrees Fahrenheit. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams.
Butylene: An olefinic hydrocarbon (C4H8) recovered from refinery processes.

U.S. Department of Commerce introduced the chained-dollar measure. The new


measure is based on the average weights of goods and services in successive pairs
of years. It is chained because the second year in each pair, with its weights,
becomes the first year of the next pair. The advantage of using the chained-dollar
measure is that it is more closely related to any given period covered and is therefore
subject to less distortion over time.
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC): Any of various compounds consisting of carbon,
hydrogen, chlorine, and flourine used as refrigerants. CFCs are now thought to be
harmful to the Earths atmosphere.

Capacity: See Generator Capacity.


Citygate: A point or measuring station at which a distribution gas utility receives
gas from a natural gas pipeline company or transmission system.

Capacity Factor: See Generator Capacity Factor.


Captured Energy: The net energy available for consumption after transformation of
a noncombustible renewable resource into electricity and noncombustible renewable
energy that is directly used. For example, it is the energy measured at the output of a
conversion device, such as electricity from a wind turbine or solar plant.
Captive Coal: Coal produced to satisfy the needs of the mine owner, or of a parent,
subsidiary, or other affiliate of the mine owner (for example, steel companies and
electricity generators), rather than for open market sale. See Open Market Coal.
Carbon Dioxide: A colorless, odorless, non-poisonous gas (CO2) that is a normal
part of Earths atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a product of fossil-fuel combustion as
well as other processes. It is considered a greenhouse gas as it traps heat (infrared
energy) radiated by the Earth into the atmosphere and thereby contributes to the
potential for global warming. The global warming potential (GWP) of other
greenhouse gases is measured in relation to that of carbon dioxide, which by international scientific convention is assigned a value of one (1).
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent: The amount of carbon dioxide by weight emitted
into the atmosphere that would produce the same estimated radiative forcing as a
given weight of another radiatively active gas. Carbon dioxide equivalents are
computed by multiplying the weight of the gas being measured (for example,
methane) by its estimated global warming potential (which is 21 for methane).
Carbon equivalent units are defined as carbon dioxide equivalents multiplied by
the carbon content of carbon dioxide (i.e., 12/44).
Chained Dollars: A measure used to express real prices. Real prices are those
that have been adjusted to remove the effect of changes in the purchasing power
of the dollar; they usually reflect buying power relative to a reference year. Prior
to 1996, real prices were expressed in constant dollars, a measure based on the
weights of goods and services in a single year, usually a recent year. In 1996, the

Climate Change: A term used to refer to all forms of climatic inconsistency, but
especially to significant change from one prevailing climatic condition to another.
In some cases, climate change has been used synonymously with the term global
warming; scientists, however, tend to use the term in a wider sense to include
natural changes in climate as well as climatic cooling.
Coal: A readily combustible black or brownish-black rock whose composition,
including inherent moisture, consists of more than 50 percent by weight and
more than 70 percent by volume of carbonaceous material. It is formed from
plant remains that have been compacted, hardened, chemically altered, and metamorphosed by heat and pressure over geologic time. See Coal Rank.
Coalbed methane: Methane is generated during coal formation and is contained
in the coal microstructure. Typical recovery entails pumping water out of the coal
to allow the gas to escape. Methane is the principal component of natural gas.
Coalbed methane can be added to natural gas pipelines without any special
treatment.
Coal Coke: See Coke, Coal.
Coal Rank: The classification of coals according to their degree of progressive
alteration from lignite to anthracite. In the United States, the standard ranks of coal
include lignite, subbituminous coal, bituminous coal, and anthracite and are
based on fixed carbon, volatile matter, heating value, and agglomerating (or caking)
properties.
Coal Stocks: Coal quantities that are held in storage for future use and disposition. Note: When coal data are collected for a particular reporting period (month,
quarter, or year), coal stocks are commonly measured as of the last day of this
period.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2011

Coal Synfuel: Coal-based solid fuel that has been processed by a coal synfuel
plant; and coal-based fuels such as briquettes, pellets, or extrusions, which are
formed from fresh or recycled coal and binding materials.
Coal Synfuel Plant: A plant engaged in the chemical transformation of coal into
coal synfuel.
Coke, Coal: A solid carbonaceous residue derived from low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal from which the volatile constituents are driven off by baking in an
oven at temperatures as high as 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit so that the fixed carbon
and residual ash are fused together. Coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in
smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Coke from coal is gray, hard, and porous and
has a heating value of 24.8 million Btu per short ton.
Coke, Petroleum: A residue high in carbon content and low in hydrogen that is the
final product of thermal decomposition in the condensation process in cracking. This
product is reported as marketable coke or catalyst coke. The conversion is 5 barrels
(of 42 U.S. gallons each) per short ton. Coke from petroleum has a heating value
of 6.024 million Btu per barrel.
Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) Plant: A plant designed to produce both heat
and electricity from a single heat source. Note: This term is being used in place
of the term cogenerator that was used by EIA in the past. CHP better describes
the facilities because some of the plants included do not produce heat and power
in a sequential fashion and, as a result, do not meet the legal definition of cogeneration specified in the Public Utility Regulatory Polices Act (PURPA). See
Electricity-Only Plant.
Commercial Building: A building with more than 50 percent of its floorspace used
for commercial activities. Commercial buildings include, but are not limited to,
stores, offices, schools, churches, gymnasiums, libraries, museums, hospitals,
clinics, warehouses, and jails. Government buildings are included, except buildings
on military bases or reservations.
Commercial Sector: An energy-consuming sector that consists of service-providing
facilities and equipment of: businesses; Federal, State, and local governments; and
other private and public organizations, such as religious, social, or fraternal groups.
The commercial sector includes institutional living quarters. It also includes sewage
treatment facilities. Common uses of energy associated with this sector include space
heating, water heating, air conditioning,lighting, refrigeration, cooking, and running a
wide variety of other equipment. Note: This sector includes generators that produce
electricity and/or useful thermal output primarily to support the activities of the
above-mentioned commercial establishments. Various EIA programs differ in sectoral
coveragefor more information see

End-Use

Completion (Crude Oil/Natural Gas Production): The term refers to the installation of permanent equipment for the production of crude oil or natural gas. If
a well is equipped to produce only crude oil or natural gas from one zone or
reservoir, the definition of a well (classified as a crude oil well or natural gas
well) and the definition of a completion are identical. However, if a well is
equipped to produce crude oil and/or natural gas separately from more than one
reservoir, a well is not synonymous with a completion.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Natural gas compressed to a pressure at or
above 200-248 bar (i.e., 2900-3600 pounds per square inch) and stored in highpressure containers. It is used as a fuel for natural gas-powered vehicles.
Conventional Hydroelectric Power: See Hydroelectric Power, Conventional.
Conventional Motor Gasoline: See Motor Gasoline, Conventional.
Conversion Factor: A factor for converting data between one unit of measurement
and another (such as between short tons and British thermal units, or between
barrels and gallons). (See http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mer/append_a.html and
http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mer/append_b.html for further information on conversion
factors.) See Btu Conversion Factor and Thermal Conversion Factor.
Cooling Tower: A common type of environmental equipment installed at electric
power plants used to transfer heat, produced by burning fuel, to the atmosphere.
Cooling towers are installed where there is insufficient cooling water available or
where waste heat discharged into cooling water would affect marine life.
Criteria Pollutant: A pollutant determined to be hazardous to human health and
regulated under the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) National Ambient
Air Quality Standards. The 1970 amendments to the Clean Air Act require EPA to
describe the health and welfare impacts of a pollutant as the criteria for inclusion
in the regulatory regime.
Crude Oil: A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in natural
underground reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface separating facilities. Depending upon the characteristics of
the crude stream, it may also include: 1) small amounts of hydrocarbons that
exist in gaseous phase in natural underground reservoirs but are liquid at
atmospheric pressure after being recovered from oil well (casinghead) gas in
lease separators and are subsequently commingled with the crude stream without being separately measured. Lease condensate recovered as a liquid from

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2011

natural gas wells in lease or field separation facilities and later mixed into
the crude stream is also included; 2) small amounts of nonhydrocarbons
produced with the oil, such as sulfur and various metals; and 3) drip gases, and
liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, oil sands, gilsonite, and oil shale.
Liquids produced at natural gas processing plants are excluded. Crude oil is
refined to produce a wide array of petroleum products, including heating oils;
gasoline, diesel and jet fuels; lubricants; asphalt; ethane, propane, and
butane; and many other products used for their energy or chemical content.

Degree-Days, Cooling (CDD): A measure of how warm a location is over a


period of time relative to a base temperature, most commonly specified as 65
degrees Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by subtracting the base
temperature (65 degrees) from the average of the days high and low
temperatures, with negative values set equal to zero. Each days cooling degreedays are summed to create a cooling degree-day measure for a specified reference
period. Cooling degree-days are used in energy analysis as an indicator of air
conditioning energy requirements or use.

Crude Oil Domestic First Purchase Price: The price for domestic crude oil
reported by the company that owns the crude oil the first time it is removed from the
lease boundary.

Degree-Days, Heating (HDD): A measure of how cold a location is over a


period of time relative to a base temperature, most commonly specified as 65
degrees Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by subtracting the
average of the days high and low temperatures from the base temperature (65
degrees), with negative values set equal to zero. Each days heating degree-days
are summed to create a heating degree-day measure for a specified reference
period. Heating degree-days are used in energy analysis as an indicator of space
heating energy requirements or use.

Crude Oil Landed Cost: The price of crude oil at the port of discharge, including charges associated with purchasing, transporting, and insuring a cargo from
the purchase point to the port of discharge. The cost does not include charges
incurred at the discharge port (e.g., import tariffs or fees, wharfage charges, and
demurrage).

Crude Oil Used Directly: Crude oil consumed as fuel by petroleum pipelines
and on crude oil leases.

Degree-Days, Population-Weighted: Heating or cooling degree-days weighted


by the population of the area in which the degree-days are recorded. To compute
State population-weighted degree-days, each State is divided into from one to
nine climatically homogeneous divisions, which are assigned weights based on
the ratio of the population of the division to the total population of the State.
Degree-day readings for each division are multiplied by the corresponding
population weight for each division and those products are then summed to
arrive at the State population-weighted degree-day figure. To compute national
population-weighted degree-days, the Nation is divided into nine Census
regions, each comprising from three to eight States, which are assigned weights
based on the ratio of the population of the region to the total population of the
Nation. Degree-day readings for each region are multiplied by the corresponding population weight for each region and those products are then summed to
arrive at the national population-weighted degree-day figure.

Crude Oil Well: A well completed for the production of crude oil from one or
more crude oil zones or reservoirs. Wells producing both crude oil and natural gas
are classified as crude oil wells.

Demand-Side Management: The planning, implementation, and monitoring of


electric utility activities designed to encourage consumers to modify patterns of
electricity usage, including the timing and level of electricity demand.

square inch) in a cube whose edges are one foot long.

Demonstrated Reserve Base (Coal): A collective term for the sum of coal in
both measured and indicated resource categories of reliability, representing 100
percent of the in-place coal in those categories as of a certain date. Includes beds
of bituminous coal and anthracite 28 or more inches thick and beds of subbituminous coal 60 or more inches thick that can occur at depths of as much as 1,000
feet. Includes beds of lignite 60 or more inches thick that can be surface mined.
Includes also thinner and/or deeper beds that currently are being mined or for

Crude Oil Refiner Acquisition Cost: The cost of crude oil to the refiner,
including transportation and other fees. The composite cost is the weighted
average of domestic and imported crude oil costs. The refiner acquisition cost
does not include the cost of crude oil purchased for the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve.
Crude Oil Refinery Input: The total crude oil put into processing units at refineries.
Crude Oil Stocks: Stocks of crude oil and lease condensate held at refineries, in
petroleum pipelines, at pipeline terminals, and on leases.

producing either crude oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as a crude oil well or natural gas well.

Denaturant: Petroleum, typically pentanes plus or conventional motor gasoline,


added to fuel ethanol to make it unfit for human consumption. Fuel ethanol is denatured, usually prior to transport from the ethanol production facility, by adding 2 to 5
volume percent denaturant. See Fuel Ethanol and Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant.

Dry Natural Gas: See Natural Gas, Dry.

Development Well: A well drilled within the proved area of a crude oil or natural
gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

operation or blends of such distillate fuel oils with residual fuel oil used in motor
vehicles. The boiling point and specific gravity are higher for diesel fuels than for
gasoline.
Direct Use: Use of electricity that 1) is self-generated, 2) is produced by either the
same entity that consumes the power or an affiliate, and 3) is used in direct support of
a service or industrial process located within the same facility or group of facilities that
house the generating equipment. Direct use is exclusive of station use.
Distillate Fuel Oil: A general classification for one of the petroleum fractions
produced in conventional distillation operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel
oils. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuel are used in on-highway
diesel engines, such as those found in cars and trucks, as well as off-highway
engines, such as those in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery. Products
known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used primarily for space heating and
electricity generation.
Distillation Unit (Atmospheric): The primary distillation unit that processes
crude oil (including mixtures of other hydrocarbons) at approximately atmospheric conditions. It includes a pipe still for vaporizing the crude oil and a fractionation tower for separating the vaporized hydrocarbon components in the
crude oil into fractions with different boiling ranges. This is done by continuously vaporizing and condensing the components to separate higher boiling point
material. The selected boiling ranges are set by the processing scheme, the properties of the crude oil, and the product specifications.
District Heat: Steam or hot water from an outside source used as an energy
source in a building. The steam or hot water is produced in a central plant and is
piped into the building. District heat may be purchased from a utility or provided
by a physical plant in a separate building that is part of the same facility (for
example, a hospital complex or university).

Electric Energy: The ability of an electric current to produce work, heat, light, or
other forms of energy. It is measured in kilowatthours.
Electric Non-Utility: Any entity that generates, transmits, or sells electricity, or
sells or trades electricity services and products, where costs are not established
and recovered by regulatory authority. Examples of these entities include, but are
not limited to, independent power producers, power marketers and aggregators
(both wholesale and retail), merchant transmission service providers, selfgeneration entities, and cogeneration firms with Qualifying Facility Status. See
Electric Utility.
Electric Power Grid: A system of synchronized power providers and consumers
connected by transmission and distribution lines and operated by one or more
control centers. In the continental United States, the electric power grid consists of
three systems: the Eastern Interconnect, the Western Interconnect, and the Texas

two principally occurring isotopes are uranium-235 and uranium-238. Uranium-235
is indispensable to the nuclear industry because it is the only isotope existing in
nature, to any appreciable extent, that is fissionable by thermal neutrons. Uranium238 is also important because it absorbs neutrons to produce a radioactive isotope
that subsequently decays to the isotope plutonium-239, which also is fissionable by
thermal neutrons.
Uranium Concentrate: A yellow or brown powder obtained by the milling of
uranium ore, processing of in situ leach mining solutions, or as a byproduct of
phosphoric acid production. See Uranium Oxide.

Uranium Resource Categories: Three categories of uranium resources defined by


the international community to reflect differing levels of confidence in the existence
of the resources. Reasonably assured resources (RAR), estimated additional resources
(EAR), and speculative resources (SR) are described below.
Reasonably assured resources (RAR): Uranium that occurs in known
mineral deposits of such size, grade, and configuration that it could be
recovered within the given production cost ranges, with currently proven
mining and processing technology. Estimates of tonnage and grade are
based on specific sample data and measurements of the deposits and on
knowledge of deposit characteristics. Note: RAR corresponds to DOEs
uranium reserves category.
Estimated additional resources (EAR): Uranium in addition to RAR that
is expected to occur, mostly on the basis of geological evidence, in extensions of well-explored deposits, in little-explored deposits, and in undiscovered deposits believed to exist along well-defined geological trends
with known deposits. This uranium can subsequently be recovered within
the given cost ranges. Estimates of tonnage and grade are based on available sampling data and on knowledge of the deposit characteristics, as
determined in the best-known parts of the deposit or in similar deposits.
Note: EAR corresponds to DOEs probable potential resources category.
Speculative resources (SR): Uranium in addition to EAR that is thought
to exist, mostly on the basis of indirect evidence and geological extrapolations, in deposits discoverable with existing exploration techniques. The
location of deposits in this category can generally be specified only as
being somewhere within given regions or geological trends. The estimates
in this category are less reliable than estimates of RAR and EAR. Note:
SR corresponds to the combination of DOEs possible potential resources
and speculative potential resources categories.
Useful Thermal Output: The thermal energy made available in a combinedheat-and-power system for use in any industrial or commercial process, heating or cooling application, or delivered to other end users, i.e., total thermal energy
made available for processes and applications other than electricity generation.
Vented Natural Gas: See Natural Gas, Vented.

Uranium Ore: Rock containing uranium mineralization in concentrations that can


be mined economically, typically one to four pounds of U3O8 (uranium oxide) per
ton or 0.05 percent to 0.2 percent U3O8
Uranium Oxide: Uranium concentrate or yellowcake. Abbreviated as U3O8.

Vessel Bunkering: Includes sales for the fueling of commercial or private boats,
such as pleasure craft, fishing boats, tugboats, and ocean-going vessels, including vessels operated by oil companies. Excluded are volumes sold to the U.S.
Armed Forces.

Waste: See Biomass Waste and Non-Biomass Waste.


Waste Coal: Usable material that is a byproduct of previous coal processing
operations. Waste coal is usually composed of mixed coal, soil, and rock (mine
waste). Most waste coal is burned as-is in unconventional fluidized-bed combustors. For some uses, waste coal may be partially cleaned by removing some extraneous noncombustible constituents. Examples of waste coal include fine coal, coal
obtained from a refuse bank or slurry dam, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, and
lignite waste.

measured at the lease boundary. In the context of domestic crude price data, the
term wellhead is the generic term used to reference the production site or lease
property.
Wellhead Price: The value of crude oil or natural gas at the mouth of the well.
See Natural Gas Wellhead Price.

Watt (W): The unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under a pressure of one
volt. A watt is equal to 1/746 horsepower.

Western Europe: Includes Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia,


Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Macedonia (The Former Yugoslav Republic of), Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and the
United Kingdom.

Watthour (Wh): The electric energy unit of measure equal to one watt of power
supplied to, or taken from, an electric circuit steadily for one hour.

Wind Energy: Kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted to
mechanical energy for driving pumps, mills, and electric power generators.

Wax: A solid or semi-solid material at 77 degrees Fahrenheit consisting of a


mixture of hydrocarbons obtained or derived from petroleum fractions, or through
a Fischer-Tropsch type process, in which the straight chained paraffin series
predominates. This includes all marketable wax, whether crude or refined, with a
congealing point (ASTM D 938) between 80 (or 85) and 240 degrees Fahrenheit
and a maximum oil content (ASTM D 3235) of 50 weight percent.

Wood and Wood-Derived Fuels: Wood and products derived from wood that are
used as fuel, including round wood (cord wood), limb wood, wood chips, bark,
sawdust, forest residues, charcoal, paper pellets, railroad ties, utility poles, black
liquor, red liquor, sludge wood, spent sulfite liquor, and other wood-based solids and
liquids.

Well: A hole drilled in the Earth for the purpose of (1) finding or producing
crude oil or natural gas; or (2) producing services related to the production of
crude oil or natural gas. See Completion (Crude Oil/Natural Gas Production),
Crude Oil Well, Development Well, Dry Hole, Exploratory Well, and Natural
Gas Well.
Wellhead: The point at which the crude oil (and/or natural gas) exits the ground.
Following historical precedent, the volume and price for crude oil production are
labeled as wellhead, even though the cost and volume are now generally

370

Working Gas: The volume of gas in the reservoir that is in addition to the cushion
or base gas. It may or may not be completely withdrawn during any particular withdrawal season. Conditions permitting, the total working capacity could be used
more than once during any season.
Yellowcake: A natural uranium concentrate that takes its name from its color
and texture. Yellowcake typically contains 70 to 90 percent U3O8 (uranium
oxide) by weight. It is used as feedstock for uranium fuel enrichment and fuel
pellet fabrication.
