Footnotes:

a Transportation use of natural gas to operate pipelines and, since 1990, also includes vehicle fuel.

b Beginning in 2009, includes biodiesel blended into distillate fuel oil. Beginning in 2011, includes renewable diesel blended into distillate fuel oil.

c Hydrocarbon gas liquids, assumed to be propane only.

d 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 "Industrial sector, Other petroleum." There is a discontinuity in this time series between 2009 and 2010 because of data source and methodology changes, see technical notes.

e Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline.

f Beginning in 2021, includes other petroleum products (biofuels product supplied) not shown separately.

g Electricity sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and, beginning in 1996, other energy service providers. Sales to public railroads and railway systems only. Excludes electric vehicles.

h There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1980 and 1981 due to the expanded coverage of fuel ethanol beginning in 1981.

i For 1981 through 1992, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline that is not included in the motor gasoline column.

j Incurred in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity plus plant use and unaccounted for electrical system energy losses. Pre-1990 estimates are not comparable to those for later years. See Section 6 of technical notes for an explanation of changes in methodology.

– – = Not applicable.

Where shown, R = Revised data and (s) = Physical unit value less than 0.5 or Btu value less than 0.05.

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