a The electric power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-power (CHP) within the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
b Agriculture byproducts/crops, sludge waste, tires, and other biomass solids, liquids and gases.
c Losses and coproducts from production of biodiesel.
d Biodiesel primarily derived from soy bean oil.
e Losses and coproducts from the production of ethanol.
f Ethanol primarily derived from corn.
*=Less than 500 billion Btu.
