  1 Includes paper and paper board, wood, food, leather, textiles and yard trimmings.
  2 Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
  3 Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids.
  4The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-power (CHP) plants within North American Classification System (NAICS) 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
  MSW = Municipal Solid Waste.
  PV = Photovoltaic.
  s = Less than 500 kilowatthours.
  - = No data reported.
  Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Data revisions are discussed in the Highlights section. Revisions to biomass removed MSW non-biogenic and tires from renewable waste energy. Data for 2009 is preliminary.
