Notes:1. Deflated by the chain-type price indices for iron and steel mills shipments.
2. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) has replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. NAICS 331111 includes steel works, blast furnaces (including coke ovens), and rolling mills.
3.Denominators represent the entire steel industry, not those based mainly on electric, natural gas, residual fuel oil, coal or coke.
4. 'Total' is the sum of all of the listed energy sources, and other energy sources such as wood waste, hydrogen, and waste oils and tars.
