[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 Electricity Generators, Electric Utilities. [5] Small number of electricity-only, non-Combined Heat and Power plants may be included. * = Value is less than half of the smallest unit of measure.
