a Ethanol blended into motor gasoline is included in both "Petroleum" and "Biomass," but is counted only once in total consumption.
b Includes supplemental gaseous fuels.
c Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned as fuel.
d Biomass includes: biofuels, waste (landfill gas, MSW biogenic, and other biomass), wood and wood derived fuels.
MSW=Municipal Solid Waste.
Note: Data revisions are discussed in Highlights section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
