Footnotes:

a Supplemental gaseous fuels (SGF) and biofuels are consumed with natural gas and petroleum products. In this table, SGF and biofuels are removed from natural gas and petroleum so that a fossil fuel total can be calculated without double-counting. Biofuels are included in "Renewable energy."

b Hydrocarbon gas liquids, include natural gas liquids and refinery olefins.

c Through 2004, includes kerosene-type and naphtha-type jet fuel. Beginning in 2005, includes kerosene-type jet fuel only; naphtha-type jet fuel is included in "Other petroleum."

d Includes asphalt and road oil, aviation gasoline, kerosene, lubricants, petroleum coke, and the “other petroleum products” category. See technical notes, Section 4.

e Conventional hydroelectric power. For 1960 through 1989, includes hydroelectric pumped-storage, which cannot be separately identified.

f There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1988 and 1989 due to the expanded coverage of renewable energy sources beginning in 1989.

g Wood, wood-derived fuels, and biomass waste. Beginning in 2006, includes small amount of other biomass liquids that are biodiesel.

h Excludes denaturant. Because of differences in data sources and estimation methods, the ratio of fuel ethanol consumption and motor gasoline consumption should not be interpreted as the average ethanol blend rate.

i Losses and co-products from the production of biodiesel and fuel ethanol.

j Beginning in 2006, adjusted for the double-counting of other biomass liquids that are biodiesel, which are included in both wood & waste and biodiesel, but should be counted only once in Total.

k Beginning in 2014, U.S. total includes other biofuels not allocated to the states.

l Solar thermal and photovoltaic energy.

m Electricity traded with Canada and Mexico. Calculated by converting net imports in kilowatthours by 3,412 Btu per kilowatthour.

NA = Not available.

Where shown, R = Revised data and (s) = Value less than +0.5 and greater than -0.5 trillion Btu.

Notes: · Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. · The continuity of these data series estimates may be affected by changing data sources and estimation methodologies. See the technical notes for each type of energy.
