^a Municipal solid waste, landfill gases, agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, tires, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases. ^b Ethanol primarily derived from corn. ^c Includes small amounts of distributed solar thermal and photovoltaic energy used in the commercial, industrial and electric power sectors. P=Preliminary. Note: Revised data are in italics. Electricity net imports derived from hydroelectric power and geothermal energy are no longer included in renewable energy consumption data due to the inadequacy of available data. They continue to be reported in total U.S. energy consumption as components of electricity net imports, with fuel sources unspecified. See Table 1 of this report. Electric utility consumption of solar energy was less than 500 billion Btu from 1989 to 2002 and of wind energy was less than 500 billion Btu from 1989 to 2000. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
