[1] Anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, waste coal, and coal synfuel. [2] Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and waste oil. [3] Natural gas includes a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels that cannot be identified separately. [4] Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels. [5] Wood, black liquor, and other wood waste. [6] Biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agriculture byproducts, and other biomass. [7] Solar thermal and photovoltaic energy [8] Non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuel, and miscellaneous technologies. [9] Retail sales and net generation may not correspond exactly for a particular month for a variety of reasons (i.e., sales data may include imported electricity). Net generation is for the calendar month while retail sales and associated revenue accumulate from bills collected for periods of time (28 to 35 days) that vary dependent upon customer class and consumption occurring in and outside the calendar month. [10] See Technical notes for additional information on the Commercial, Industrial and Transportation sectors. Notes: Beginning with 2001 data, Non-biogenic Municipal Solid Waste and Tire-derived fuels are reclassified as non-renewable energy sources and included in "Other". Biogenic Municipal Solid Waste is included in "Other Renewables". Values for 2006 are final. Values for 2007 are preliminary. Values for January through July 2007 are revised. Values from Forms EIA-826, EIA-906, and EIA-920 for 2007 are estimates based on samples - see Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample designs. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. Percent difference is calculated before rounding.
