a Municipal solid waste, landfill gases, agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, tires, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
b Biofuels and biofuel losses and coproducts.
c Includes small amounts of distributed solar thermal and photovoltaic energy used in the commercial, industrial and electric power sectors.
d Losses and coproducts from production of biodiesel and ethanol.
e Biodiesel primarily derived from soy bean oil and ethanol primarily derived from corn.  Includes small amounts of ethanol consumed in the commercial and industrial sectors.
f 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.
*=Less than 500 billion Btu.
