[1] Includes anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous and lignite coal. Waste and synthetic coal were included starting in 2002. [2] Distillate fuel oil (all diesel and No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils), residual fuel oil (No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils and bunker C fuel oil), jet fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke (converted to liquid petroleum, see Technical Notes for conversion methodology), and waste oil. [3] Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. [4] Electric utility CHP plants are included in Table 4.1 with Electric Generators, Electric Utilities. Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. A new method of allocating fuel consumption between electric power generation and useful thermal output (UTO) was implemented with publication of the preliminary 2008 data, and retroactively applied to 2004-2007 data. The new methodology evenly distributes a combined heat and power (CHP) plant`s losses between the two output products (electric power and UTO). In the historical data, UTO was consistently assumed to be 80 percent efficient and all other losses at the plant were allocated to electric power. This change results in the fuel for electric power to be lower while the fuel for UTO is higher than the prior set of data as both are given the same efficiency. This results in the appearance of an increase in efficiency of production of electric power after 2003.
