(a) Value of Shipments and Receipts and Employment Size categories were supplied by the
Bureau of the Census.
(b) 'Total' is the sum of all of the listed energy sources, including 'Other,' minus the
shipments of energy sources produced onsite.  It is the total amount of first use of energy
for all (fuel and nonfuel) purposes.
(c) 'Net Electricity' is obtained by summing purchases, transfers in, and
generation from noncombustible renewable resources, minus quantities sold and
transferred out.  It does not include electricity inputs from onsite
cogeneration or generation from combustible fuels because that energy has
already been included as generating fuel (for example, coal).
(d) 'Distillate Fuel Oil' includes Nos. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils and Nos. 1, 2, and 4
diesel fuels.
(e) 'Natural Gas' includes natural gas obtained from utilities, local distribution companies,
and any other supplier(s), such as independent gas producers, gas brokers, marketers,
and any marketing subsidiaries of utilities.
(f) Examples of Liquefied Petroleum Gases '(LPG)' are ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene,
normal butane, butylene, ethane-propane mixtures, propane-butane mixtures, and isobutane
produced at refineries or natural gas processing plants, including plants that fractionate raw
Natural Gas Liquids '(NGL).'
(g) 'Other' includes net steam (the sum of purchases, generation from
renewables, and net transfers), and other energy that respondents indicated was
used to produce heat and power or as feedstock/raw material inputs.  See also
Footnote 'i'.
(h) 'Shipments of Energy Sources Produced Onsite' are those shipments produced or
transformed onsite from the nonfuel use of other energy sources.  For example, at an establishment
that processes coal to make coke for later use, the entire quantity of coal is counted as first use.
Any onsite consumption of coke is not counted as first use because it would duplicate
the coal use.  If some of the coke is then sold to another establishment, then that second
establishment will consider this coke to be a shipment of an offsite-produced energy source.
Hence, the second establishment will count this coke as its first use, thereby resulting in
double counting.  In order to eliminate the double counting, the energy equivalent of the
coke shipment must be subtracted from first use.
(i) The entry in the 'Not Ascertained' row and the 'Other' column consists
of the feedstocks and raw material inputs that were consumed by petroleum
refineries for the production of nonenergy products (i.e., asphalt, waxes,
lubricants, and solvents), as well as feedstock consumption at adjoining
petrochemical plants.  That entry includes all of those inputs, regardless of
type.  Those inputs that were converted to other energy products by petroleum
refineries (e.g., crude oil converted to residual and distillate fuel oils) are
excluded.  The quantities of energy consumed by petroleum refineries for the
production of heat and power are included in the appropriate 'Value of Shipments
and Receipts' or 'Employment Size' rows.
NF=No applicable RSE row/column factor.
* Estimate less than 0.5.
W=Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual establishments.
Q=Withheld because Relative Standard Error is greater than 50 percent.
NA=Not available.
Notes:  To obtain the RSE percentage for any table cell, multiply the cell's
corresponding RSE column and RSE row factors.   Totals may not equal sum of
components because of independent rounding.   The derived estimates presented
in this table are for the first use (formerly primary consumption) of energy for heat and
power and as feedstocks or raw material inputs.  First use is defined as the
consumption of the energy that was originally produced offsite or was produced
onsite from input materials not classified as energy.  Examples of the latter
are hydrogen produced from the electrolysis of brine; the output of captive
(onsite) mines or wells; woodchips, bark, and woodwaste from wood purchased as
a raw material input; and waste materials, such as wastepaper and packing
materials.  First use excludes quantities of energy that are produced
from other energy inputs and, therefore, avoids double counting.
