NM = Not meaningful due to large relative standard error. W = Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data. Number of Plants represents the number of plants for which receipts data were collected this month. .... A plant using more than one fuel may be counted multiple times. Coal includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, waste coal, synthetic coal, and coal-derived synthesis gas. Petroleum Liquids include distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, propane, and waste oil. Natural Gas includes a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels that cannot be identified separately. Petroleum Coke includeds petroleum coke and synthesis gas derived from petroleum coke.
