1 Includes paper and paper board, wood, food, leather, textiles and yard trimmings. 
2 Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases. 
3 Black liquor, and wood/woodwaste solids and liquids. 
4 The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-power (CHP) plants within North American Classification System (NAICS) 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. 
MSW = Municipal Solid Waste.
PV = Photovoltaic.
Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Data revisions are discussed in the Highlights section. Revisions to biomass removed MSW non-biogenic and tires from renewable waste energy.
