1 Other includes Apparel; Petroleum Refining; Rubber and Misc. Plastic Products; Transportation Equipment; Stone, Clay, Glass, and Concrete Products; Furniture and Fixtures; and related industries. 
2 Primary purpose of business is not specified. 
3 Includes paper and paper board, wood, food, leather, textiles and yard trimmings. 
4 Losses and coproducts from production of biodiesel and ethanol calculated as the difference between energy in feedstocks and production. 
s = Value is less than 0.5 of the table metric, but value is included in any associated total.
- = No data reported.
Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.  Starting with 2004 EIA adopted a new method of allocating fuel consumption between electric power generation and useful thermal out put (UTO) for combined heat and power (CHP) plants.  The new method proportionately distributes a CHP plant`s losses between the two output products (electric power and UTO) assuming the same efficiency for production of electricity as UTO.
