1 Includes landfill gas and MSW biogenic (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. 
MSW = Municipal Solid Waste.
PV = Photovoltaic.
s = Less than 500 kilowatthours.
- = No data reported.
Notes: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Revisions to biomass removed MSW non-biogenic and tires from renewable waste energy.
