NATURAL GAS
Definition:
         First Use of Energy is unduplicated demand for energy,
         which is defined as:
            1) all energy produced offsite, and
            2) all energy produced onsite. Definition:
         (Feedstocks) Energy for Nonfuel Purposes is energy
         used for purposes other than for heat, power, and
         electricity generation. Definition:
         Fuel Consumption is all energy used for heat, power,
         and electricity generation, regardless of where the
         energy was produced. Definition:
         Offsite-Produced Fuel Consumption is all energy used
         for heat, power, and electricity generation that is:
            1) purchased by the establishment, or
            2) transferred from offsite.
