Total Energy
Primary Energy Flow by Source and Sector, 2010
Footnotes:
1 Does not include biofuels that have been blended with petroleum—biofuels are included in
“Renewable Energy."
2 Excludes supplemental gaseous fuels.
3 Includes less than 0.1 quadrillion Btu of coal coke net exports.
4 Conventional hydroelectric power, geothermal, solar/PV, wind, and biomass.
5 Includes industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and industrial electricity-only plants.
6 Includes commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and commercial electricity-only
plants.
7 Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants whose primary business is to
sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
Note:
• Sum of components may not equal total due to independent rounding.

Energy Perspectives
Forty-three interactive graphs showing trends in U.S. energy production, consumption, and trade from 1949-2010
Changes in AER 2010:
- Energy Resources has been expanded to include six maps showing U.S. renewable energy resources.
- Appendix F has been added to include an explanation of alternatives for estimating energy consumption.
- Primary Energy Production by Source (Table 1.2), Consumption for Electricity Generation by Energy Source: Electric Power Sector (Table 8.4b), and other tables have new values for geothermal energy, due to the use of a different Btu conversion factor for geothermal electricity net generation.
- Primary Energy Consumption by Source (Table 1.3) has been reconfigured to display noncombustible renewable energy in three columns: Captured Energy, Adjustment for Fossil Fuel Equivalence, and Primary Energy Total.
