beginning in 2001, non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived
fuels).
2Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, petroleum coke, jet fuel, kerosene, other petroleum, and waste oil. R=Revised.  P=Preliminary.  
3Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels. Notes:  ·  Data do not include electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants.  ·  See Note 1,
"Coverage of Electricity Statistics," at end of section.  ·  See "Useful Thermal Output" in Glossary.  ·  Totals
may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
4Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. Web Page:  For related information, see http://www.eia.gov/electricity/.
5Wood and wood-derived fuels. Sources:  Tables 8.3b and 8.3c.
6Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and
other biomass.  Through 2000, also includes non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from
non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived fuels).
