Coal sectors
electric power 98 The electric power sector (electric utilities and independent power producers) comprises electric-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity or electricity and heat to the public (i.e. NAICS 22 plants).
electric utility 1 Power plants owned by regulated electric utilties
independent power producers 94 Power plants owned by unregulated power companies (also called merchant generators)
electric utility non-cogen 2 Power plants owned by regulated electric utilties that produce electricity only
electric utility cogen 3 Power plants owned by regualted electric utilities that produce both electricity and useful heat
commercial and institutional 8 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, lightning, refrigeration, cooking, and running a wide variety of other equipment.
coke plants 9 Plants where coal is carbonized for the manufacture of coke in slot or beehive ovens.
other industrial 10 All industrial sector fuel use other than in ‘Coke Plants.’ An energy-consuming sector that consists of all facilities and equipment used for producing, processing, or assembling goods. The industrial sector encompasses the following types of activity manufacturing; agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting; mining; and construction. Overall energy use in this sector is largely for process heat and cooling and powering machinery, with lesser amounts used for facility heating, air conditioning, and lighting.
Transportation Mode
Rail Shipments of coal primarily moved from point of origin to consumer by rail.
Truck Shipments of coal primarily moved from point of origin to consumer via truck.
Water Shipments of coal primarily moved from point of origin to consumer via river, barge, Great Lakes, or other waterways.
Other Shipments of coal primarily moved from point of origin to consumer by tramway, conveyor, slurry pipeline, or pipeline.
