Manufacturing Consumption of Energy 1994

End Notes

(1) See Appendices B and F of the EIA report Manufacturing Consumption of Energy 1994 for descriptions of the Standard Industrial Classification system.

(2) "Net Electricity" is obtained by summing purchases, transfers in, and generation from noncombustible renewable resources, minus quantities sold and transferred out. It does not include electricity inputs from onsite cogeneration or generation from combustible fuels because that energy has already been included as generating fuel (for example, coal).

(3) "Distillate Fuel Oil" includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4 diesel fuels.

(4) "LPG" is an abbreviation for liquefied petroleum gases.

(5) "Natural Gas" includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,and any other supplier(s) such as producers, brokers, and marketers.

(6) "Other" includes net steam (the sum of purchases, generation from renewables, and net transfers), and other energy that respondents indicated was used to produce heat and power or as feedstock/raw material inputs. See also Footnote "9".

(7) "Shipments of Energy Sources Produced Onsite" are those shipments produced or transformed onsite from the nonfuel use of other energy sources. For example, at an establishment that processes coal to make coke for later use, the entire quantity of coal is counted as first use. Any onsite consumption of coke is not counted as first use because it would duplicate the coal use. If some of the coke is then sold to another establishment, then that second establishment will consider this coke to be a shipment of an offsite-produced energy source. Hence, the second establishment will count this coke as its first use, thereby resulting in double counting. In order to eliminate the double counting, the energy equivalent of the coke shipment must be subtracted from first use.

(8) "Total" is the sum of all of the listed energy sources, including "Other," minus the shipments of energy sources produced onsite. It is the total amount of first use of energy for all (fuel and nonfuel) purposes.

(9) For the petroleum refining industry only, the feedstocks and raw material inputs for the production of nonenergy products (i.e., asphalt, waxes, lubricants, and solvents) and feedstock consumption at adjoining petrochemical plants are included in the "Other" column, regardless of type of energy. The remaining columns for the petroleum refining industry include only energy that was consumed for the production of heat and power. The "Other" column also includes net steam and other energy that respondents indicated was used in the production of heat and power. Those inputs and feedstocks that were converted to other energy products (e.g., crude oil converted to residual and distillate fuel oils) are excluded. See Appendix B of the EIA report Manufacturing Consumption of Energy 1994 for more information.
