Energy Consumption Energy Consumption by Fuel | Fuel Consumption by End Use | Energy Consumption by Sector | Energy Expenditures | Energy Intensity The aluminum industry used an estimated 1 quadrillion Btu of energy in 1998 (including electricity losses). Electricity represents 76% of the industry's energy consumption, most of which is used during the electrolysis of alumina. Natural gas accounts for most of the remainder. Carbon anodes made from petroleum coke and pitch are energy feedstocks to the electrolytic process. [MECS 1998] (trillion Btu)
