Monthly Energy Review


The Monthly Energy Review (MER) is the U.S. Energy Information Administrations (EIA) primary
report of recent and historical energy statistics. Included are statistics on total energy production,
consumption, trade, and energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity,
nuclear energy, renewable energy, and international petroleum; carbon dioxide emissions; and data
unit conversions.
Release of the MER is in keeping with responsibilities given to EIA in Public Law 9591 (Department of Energy Organization Act), which states, in part, in Section 205(a)(2):
The Administrator shall be responsible for carrying out a central, comprehensive, and unified energy data and information program which will collect, evaluate, assemble, analyze, and disseminate data and information....
The MER is intended for use by Members of Congress, federal and state agencies, energy analysts,
and the general public. EIA welcomes suggestions from readers regarding the content of the MER
and other EIA publications.
Related Monthly Publications: Other monthly EIA reports are Petroleum Supply
Monthly, Petroleum Marketing Monthly, Natural Gas Monthly, and Electric Power Monthly. For
more information, contact EIAs Office of Communications via email at infoctr@eia.gov.

Important Notes About the Data


Data Displayed: For tables beginning in 1949, annual data are usually displayed only in
5-year increments between 1950 and 2000 in the tables in Portable Document Format (PDF) files;
however, all annual data are shown in the Excel and comma-separated values (CSV) files. Also,
only two to three years of monthly data are displayed in the PDF files; however, for many series,
monthly data beginning with January 1973 are available in the Excel and CSV files.
Comprehensive Changes: Each month, most MER tables and figures carry a new month
of data, which is usually preliminary (and sometimes estimated or even forecast) and likely to be
revised in the succeeding month.
Annual Data From 1949: In 2013, EIA expanded the MER to incorporate annual data as
far back as 1949 in those data tables that were previously published in both the Annual Energy
Review (AER) and MER. Analysts may wish to use the data in this report in conjunction with the
AER which offers annual data beginning in 1949 for many related supplemental data series that are
not found in the MER. The AER is available at http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/annual.

Electronic Access
The MER is available on
EIAs website in a variety of formats at
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly.
Full report and sections: PDF files
Report tables: PDF files
Table data (unrounded): Excel and CSV files
Graphs: PDF files
Note: PDF files display selected annual and monthly data; Excel and CSV files display all available
annual and monthly data, often at a greater level of precision than the PDF files.
Timing of Release: The MER is posted on the EIA website no later than the last work day of
the month at http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly.

Released: January 27, 2016

Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature
used as an index for heating and cooling energy requirements.
Heating
degree-days are the number of degrees that the daily average temperature falls
below 65 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Cooling degree-days are the number of degrees

that the daily average temperature rises above 65F.


The daily average
temperature is the mean of the maximum and minimum temperatures in a 24-hour
period. For example, a weather station recording an average daily temperature of
40F would report 25 heating degree-days for that day (and 0 cooling degree-days).
If a weather station recorded an average daily temperature of 78F, cooling
degree-days for that station would be 13 (and 0 heating degree days). Totals
may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Energy Overview
Note. Merchandise Trade Value. Imports data presented
are based on the customs values. Those values do not
include insurance and freight and are consequently lower
than the cost, insurance, and freight (CIF) values, which are
also reported by the Bureau of the Census. All exports data,
and imports data through 1980, are on a free alongside ship
(f.a.s.) basis.
Balance is exports minus imports; a positive balance
indicates a surplus trade value and a negative balance
indicates a deficit trade value. Energy includes mineral
fuels, lubricants, and related material. Non-Energy Balance
and Total Merchandise include foreign exports (i.e.,
re-exports) and nonmonetary gold and U.S. Department of
Defense Grant-Aid shipments. The Non-Energy Balance
is calculated by subtracting the Energy from the Total
Merchandise Balance.
Imports consist of government and nongovernment
shipments of merchandise into the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the
U.S. Foreign Trade Zones. They reflect the total arrival
from foreign countries of merchandise that immediately
entered consumption channels, warehouses, the Foreign
Trade Zones, or the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. They
exclude shipments between the United States, Puerto Rico,
and U.S. possessions, shipments to U.S. Armed Forces and
diplomatic missions abroad for their own use, U.S. goods
returned to the United States by its Armed Forces, and
in-transit shipments.

are included in "Biomass."
e Conventional hydroelectric power.
f Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and,
beginning in 1996, other energy service providers.
g Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric
power sector minus the energy content of electricity retail sales. Total losses are
allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sectors share of total
electricity retail sales. See Note 1, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of
section.

c Natural gas only; does not include supplemental gaseous fuelssee Note 3,

"Supplemental Gaseous Fuels," at end of Section 4. Data are for natural gas
consumed in the operation of pipelines (primarily in compressors) and small
amounts consumed as vehicle fuelsee Table 4.3.
d Does not include biofuels that have been blended with petroleumbiofuels
are included in "Biomass."
e Electricity retail sales to ultimate customers reported by electric utilities and,
beginning in 1996, other energy service providers.
f Total losses are calculated as the primary energy consumed by the electric
power sector minus the energy content of electricity retail sales. Total losses are
allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sectors share of total
electricity retail sales. See Note 1, "Electrical System Energy Losses," at end of

Notes: Data are estimates, except for coal totals through 1977; and electricity
retail sales beginning in 1979. See Note 2, "Energy Consumption Data and
Surveys," at end of section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of
Columbia.

Notes: Data in this table are developed using conversion factors that often
differ from those in Tables A1A6. Data include energy consumed at foreign
installations and in foreign operations, including aviation and ocean bunkering,
primarily by the U.S. Department of Defense. U.S. Government energy use for
electricity generation and uranium enrichment is excluded. Totals may not equal
sum of components due to independent rounding.

Energy Consumption by Sector

residential and commercial sectors coal consumption heat


content factors in Table A5.

Note 1. Electrical System Energy Losses. Electrical system


energy losses are calculated as the difference between total
primary consumption by the electric power sector (see Table
2.6) and the total energy content of electricity retail sales (see
Tables 7.6 and A6). Most of these losses occur at steamelectric power plants (conventional and nuclear) in the conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy to turn electric
generators. The loss is a thermodynamically necessary feature
of the steam-electric cycle. Part of the energy input-to-output
losses is a result of imputing fossil energy equivalent inputs for
hydroelectric, geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaic, and
wind energy sources. In addition to conversion losses, other
losses include power plant use of electricity, transmission and
distribution of electricity from power plants to end-use consumers (also called "line losses"), and unaccounted-for electricity.
Total losses are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to
each sector's share of total electricity sales. Overall, about two
thirds of total energy input is lost in conversion. Currently, of
electricity generated, approximately 5% is lost in plant use and
7% is lost in transmission and distribution.

Natural Gas
19491979: Residential sector natural gas (including supplemental gaseous fuels) consumption data from Table 4.3 are
converted to Btu by multiplying by the natural gas end-use
sectors consumption heat content factors in Table A4.
1980 forward: Residential sector natural gas (including
supplemental gaseous fuels) consumption data from Table 4.3
are converted to Btu by multiplying by the natural gas enduse sectors consumption heat content factors in Table A4.
The residential sector portion of supplemental gaseous fuels
data in Btu is estimated using the method described in Note 3,
Supplemental Gaseous Fuels, at the end of Section 4. Residential sector natural gas (excluding supplemental gaseous
fuels) consumption is equal to residential sector natural gas
(including supplemental gaseous fuels) consumption minus
the residential sector portion of supplemental gaseous fuels.

Note 2. Energy Consumption Data and Surveys. Most of


the data in this section of the Monthly Energy Review (MER)
are developed from a group of energy-related surveys, typically called "supply surveys," conducted by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA). Supply surveys are
directed to suppliers and marketers of specific energy sources.
They measure the quantities of specific energy sources
produced, or the quantities supplied to the market, or both.
The data obtained from EIA's supply surveys are integrated to
yield the summary consumption statistics published in this
section (and in Section 1) of the MER.
Users of EIA's energy consumption statistics should be
aware of a second group of energy-related surveys, typically
called "consumption surveys." Consumption surveys gather
information on the types of energy consumed by end users
of energy, along with the characteristics of those end users
that can be associated with energy use. For example, the
Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey belongs to
the consumption survey group because it collects information directly from end users (the manufacturing establishments). There are important differences between the supply
and consumption surveys that need to be taken into account
in any analysis that uses both data sources. For information
on those differences, see Energy Consumption by End-Use
Sector, A Comparison of Measures by Consumption and
Supply Surveys, DOE/EIA-0533, U.S. Energy Information
Administration, Washington, DC, April 6, 1990.

Notes: Data are estimates. For total petroleum consumption by all sectors,
see petroleum products supplied data in Table 3.5. Petroleum products supplied is
an approximation of petroleum consumption and is synonymous with the term
"petroleum consumption" in Tables 3.7a3.8c. See Note 1, "Petroleum Products
Supplied and Petroleum Consumption," at end of section. Totals may not equal
sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the
50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#petroleum (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

Notes: Data are estimates. For total heat content of petroleum consumption
by all sectors, see data for heat content of petroleum products supplied in Table
3.6. Petroleum products supplied is an approximation of petroleum consumption
and is synonymous with the term "petroleum consumption" in Tables 3.7a3.8c.
See Note 1, "Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption," at end of
section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#petroleum (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

Petroleum
Note 1. Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum
Consumption. Total petroleum products supplied is the
sum of the products supplied for each petroleum product,
crude oil, unfinished oils, and gasoline blending components. For each of these except crude oil, product supplied
is calculated by adding refinery production, natural gas
plant liquids production, new supply of other liquids,
imports, and stock withdrawals, and subtracting stock
additions, refinery inputs, and exports. Crude oil product
supplied is the sum of crude oil burned on leases and at
pipeline pump stations as reported on Form EIA-813,
Monthly Crude Oil Report. Prior to 1983, crude oil
burned on leases and used at pipeline pump stations was
reported as either distillate or residual fuel oil and was
included as product supplied for these products. Petroleum product supplied (see Tables 3.5 and 3.6) is an
approximation of petroleum consumption and is synonymous with the term Petroleum Consumption in Tables
3.7a3.8c.
Note 2. Petroleum Survey Respondents. The U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses a number of
sources and methods to maintain the survey respondent lists.
On a regular basis, survey managers review such industry
publications as the Oil & Gas Journal and Oil Daily for
information on facilities or companies starting up or closing
down operations. Those sources are augmented by articles
in newspapers, communications from respondents indicating
changes in status, and information received from survey
systems.
To supplement routine frames maintenance and to provide
more thorough coverage, a comprehensive frames investigation is conducted every 3 years. This investigation results in
the reassessment and recompilation of the complete frame
for each survey. The effort also includes the evaluation of
the impact of potential frame changes on the historical time
series of data from these respondents. The results of this
frame study are usually implemented in January to provide a
full year under the same frame.
Note 3. Historical Petroleum Data. Detailed information
on petroleum data through 1993 can be found in Notes 16
on pages 60 and 61 in the July 2013 Monthly Energy Review
(MER) at
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/archive/00351307.pdf.

The notes discuss:


Note 1, Petroleum Survey Respondents: In 1993, EIA
added numerous companies that produce, blend, store, or
import oxygenates to the monthly surveys.
Note 2, Motor Gasoline: In 1981, EIA expanded its
universe to include nonrefinery blenders and separated
blending components from finished motor gasoline as a
reporting category. In 1993, EIA made adjustments to
finished motor gasoline product supplied data to more
accurately account for fuel ethanol and motor gasoline
blending components blended into finished motor gasoline.

Note 3, Distillate and Residual Fuel Oils: In 1981, EIA


eliminated the requirement to report crude oil in pipelines or
burned on leases as either distillate or residual fuel oil.
Note 4, Petroleum New Stock Basis: In 1975, 1979,
1981, and 1983, EIA added numerous respondents to bulk
terminal and pipeline surveys; in 1984, EIA made changes
in the reporting of natural gas liquids; and in 1993, EIA
changed how it collected bulk terminal and pipeline stocks
of oxygenates. These changes affected stocks reported and
stock change calculations.
Note 5, Stocks of Alaskan Crude Oil: In 1981, EIA began
to include data for stocks of Alaskan crude oil in transit.
Note 6, Petroleum Data Discrepancies: In 1976, 1978,
and 1979, there are some small discrepancies between data
in the MER and the Petroleum Supply Annual.

Beginning in 1973, energy-use allocation procedures by


individual product are as follows:

Beginning in 1979, the industrial sector sales total is the


sum of the sales for industrial, farm, oil company,
off-highway diesel, and all other uses. Through 1978,
each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial
category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares,
and this estimated industrial portion is added to oil
company, off-highway diesel, and all other uses.

Asphalt and Road Oil


All consumption of asphalt and road oil is assigned to the
industrial sector.

The transportation sector sales total is the sum of the sales


for railroad, vessel bunkering, on-highway diesel, and
military uses for all years.

Aviation Gasoline
All consumption of aviation gasoline is assigned to the
transportation sector.

Distillate Fuel Oil, End-Use Sectors, Monthly Data


Residential sector and commercial sector monthly
consumption is estimated by allocating the annual
estimates, which are described above, into the months in
proportion to each month's share of the year's sales of
No. 2 heating oil. (For each month of the current year,
the residential and commercial consumption increase
from the same month in the previous year is based on the
percent increase in that months No. 2 heating oil sales
from the same month in the previous year.) The years
No. 2 heating oil sales totals are from the following
sources: for 19731980, the Ethyl Corporation, Monthly
Report of Heating Oil Sales; for 1981 and 1982, the
American Petroleum Institute, Monthly Report of Heating
Oil Sales; and for 1983 forward, EIA, Form EIA-782A,
"Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum
Product Sales Report," No. 2 Fuel Oil Sales to End Users
and for Resale.

Distillate Fuel Oil


Distillate fuel oil consumption is assigned to the sectors as
follows:
Distillate Fuel Oil, Electric Power Sector
See sources for Table 7.4b. For 19731979, electric utility
consumption of distillate fuel oil is assumed to be the
amount of petroleum (minus small amounts of kerosene
and kerosene-type jet fuel deliveries) consumed in gas
turbine and internal combustion plants. For 19802000,
electric utility consumption of distillate fuel oil is assumed
to be the amount of light oil (fuel oil nos. 1 and 2, plus
small amounts of kerosene and jet fuel) consumed.
Distillate Fuel Oil, End-Use Sectors, Annual Data
The aggregate end-use amount is total distillate fuel oil
supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric power
sector. The end-use total consumed annually is allocated to
the individual end-use sectors (residential, commercial,
industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each
sectors share of sales as reported in EIA's Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series (DOE/EIA-0535),
which is based primarily on data collected by Form
EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report

The transportation highway use portion is allocated into


the months in proportion to each month's share of the
year's total sales for highway use as reported by the
Federal Highway Administration's Table MF-25,
"Private and Commercial Highway Use of Special Fuels
by Months." Beginning in 1994, the sales-for-highwayuse data are no longer available as a monthly series; the
1993 data are used for allocating succeeding year's totals
into months.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

75

A distillate fuel oil balance is calculated as total distillate


fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric
power sector, residential sector, commercial sector, and for
highway use.
Industrial sector monthly consumption is estimated by
multiplying each months distillate fuel oil balance by the
annual industrial consumption share of the annual distillate
fuel oil balance.
Total transportation sector monthly consumption is
estimated as total distillate fuel oil supplied minus the
amount consumed by the residential, commercial, industrial,
and electric power sectors.
Jet Fuel
Through 1982, small amounts of kerosene-type jet fuel were
consumed by the electric power sector. Kerosene-type jet
fuel deliveries to the electric power sector as reported on
Form FERC-423 (formerly Form FPC-423) were used as
estimates of this consumption. Through 2004, all remaining
jet fuel (kerosene-type and naphtha-type) is assigned to the
transportation sector. Beginning in 2005, kerosene-type jet
fuel is assigned to the transportation sector, while naphthatype jet fuel is classified under Other Petroleum Products,
which is assigned to the industrial sector.
Kerosene
Kerosene product supplied is allocated to the individual
end-use sectors (residential, commercial, and industrial)
in proportion to each sectors share of sales as reported in
EIA's Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series
(DOE/EIA-0535), which is based primarily on data
collected by Form EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales Report (previously Form EIA-172).
Beginning in 1979, the residential sector sales total is
directly from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's
sales category called "heating" is allocated to the residential,
commercial, and industrial sectors in proportion to the 1979
shares.
Beginning in 1979, the commercial sector sales total is
directly from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's
sales category called "heating" is allocated to the residential,
commercial, and industrial sectors in proportion to the 1979
shares.
Beginning in 1979, the industrial sector sales total is the
sum of the sales for industrial, farm, and all other uses.
Through 1978, each year's sales category called "heating" is
allocated to the residential, commercial and industrial
sectors in proportion to the 1979 shares, and the estimated
industrial (including farm) portion is added to all other uses.
Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG)
The annual shares of LPG's total consumption that are
estimated to be used by each sector are applied to each
76

month's total LPG consumption to create monthly sector


consumption estimates. The annual sector shares are
calculated as described below.
Sales of LPG to the residential and commercial sectors
combined are converted from thousand gallons per year to
thousand barrels per year and are assumed to be the
annual consumption of LPG by the combined sectors.
Beginning in 2003, residential sector LPG consumption
is assumed to equal propane retail sales, with the remainder of the combined residential and commercial LPG
consumption being assigned to the commercial sector.
Through 2002, residential sector LPG consumption is based
on the average of the state residential shares for 20032008,
with the remainder of the combined residential and commercial
LPG consumption being assigned to the commercial sector.
The quantity of LPG sold each year for consumption in
internal combustion engines is allocated between the transportation and industrial sectors on the basis of data for
special fuels used on highways published by the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, in Highway Statistics.
LPG consumed annually by the industrial sector is estimated
as the difference between LPG total product supplied and
the sum of the estimated LPG consumption by the residential, commercial, and transportation sectors. The industrial
sector LPG consumption includes LPG used by chemical
plants as raw materials or solvents and used in the production of synthetic rubber; refinery fuel use; use as synthetic
natural gas feedstock and use in secondary recovery
projects; all farm use; LPG sold to gas utility companies for
distribution through the mains; and a portion of the use of
LPG as an internal combustion engine fuel.
Sources of the annual sales data for creating annual energy
shares are:
19731982: EIA's "Sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gases
and Ethane" reports, based primarily on data collected by
Form EIA-174, Sales of Liquefied Petroleum Gases.
1983: End-use consumption estimates for 1983 are based
on 1982 end-use consumption because the collection of data
under Form EIA-174 was discontinued after data year 1982.
1984 forward: American Petroleum Institute (API), "Sales
of Natural Gas Liquids and Liquefied Refinery Gases,"
which is based on an LPG sales survey jointly sponsored
by API, the Gas Processors Association, and the National
Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association. EIA adjusts the data
to remove quantities of pentanes plus and to estimate
withheld values.
Lubricants
The consumption of lubricants is allocated to the industrial
and transportation sectors for all months according to proportions developed from annual sales of lubricants to the two
sectors from U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

Bureau, Current Industrial Reports, "Sales of Lubricating and


Industrial Oils and Greases." The 1973 shares are applied to
1973 and 1974; the 1975 shares are applied to 1975 and 1976;
and the 1977 shares are applied to 1977 forward.
Motor Gasoline
The total monthly consumption of motor gasoline is
allocated to the sectors in proportion to aggregations of
annual sales categories created on the basis of the U.S.
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Highway Statistics, Tables MF-21, MF-24, and
MF-25, as follows:
Commercial sales are the sum of sales for public
non-highway use and miscellaneous and unclassified uses.
Industrial sales are the sum of sales for agriculture,
construction, and industrial and commercial use as classified in the Highway Statistics.
Transportation sales are the sum of sales for highway use
(minus the sales of special fuels, which are primarily diesel
fuel and are accounted for in the transportation sector of
distillate fuel) and sales for marine use.
Petroleum Coke
Portions of petroleum coke are consumed by the electric
power sector (see sources for Table 7.4b) and the commercial
sector (see sources for Table 7.4c). The remaining petroleum
coke is assigned to the industrial sector.
Residual Fuel Oil
Residual fuel oil consumption is assigned to the sectors as
follows:
Residual Fuel Oil, Electric Power Sector
See sources for Table 7.4b. For 19731979, electric utility
consumption of residual fuel oil is assumed to be the
amount of petroleum consumed in steam-electric power
plants. For 19802000, electric utility consumption of
residual fuel oil is assumed to be the amount of heavy oil
(fuel oil nos. 4, 5, and 6) consumed.
Residual Fuel Oil, End-Use Sectors, Annual Data
The aggregate end-use amount is total residual fuel oil
supplied minus the amount consumed by the electric
power sector. The end-use total consumed annually is
allocated to the individual end-use sectors (commercial,
industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each
sectors share of sales as reported in EIAs Fuel Oil and
Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series (DOE/EIA-535),
which is based primarily on data collected by Form
EIA-821, Annual Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales Report
(previously Form EIA-172). Shares for the current year
are based on the most recent Sales report.
Following are notes on the individual sector groupings:

Beginning in 1979, commercial sales data are directly


from the Sales reports. Through 1978, each year's sales
subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is
allocated to the commercial and industrial sectors in
proportion to the 1979 shares.
Beginning in 1979, industrial sales data are the sum of
sales for industrial, oil company, and all other uses.
Through 1978, each year's sales subtotal of the heating
plus industrial category is allocated to the commercial
and industrial sectors in proportion to the 1979 shares,
and the estimated industrial portion is added to oil
company and all other uses.
Transportation sales are the sum of sales for railroad,
vessel bunkering, and military uses for all years.
Residual Fuel Oil, End-Use Sectors, Monthly Data
Commercial sector monthly consumption is estimated by
allocating the annual estimates, which are described
above, into the months in proportion to each month's
share of the year's sales of No. 2 heating oil. (For each month
of the current year, the consumption increase from the same
month in the previous year is based on the percent increase in
that months No. 2 heating oil sales from the same month in
the previous year.) The years' No. 2 heating oil sales totals
are from the following sources: for 19731980, the Ethyl
Corporation, Monthly Report of Heating Oil Sales; for 1981
and 1982, the American Petroleum Institute, Monthly Report
of Heating Oil Sales; and for 1983 forward, EIA, Form
EIA-782A, "Refiners'/Gas Plant Operators' Monthly Petroleum Product Sales Report," No. 2 Fuel Oil Sales to End
Users and for Resale.
A residual fuel oil balance is calculated as total residual
fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by the
electric power sector, commercial sector, and by industrial
combined-heat-and-power plants (see sources for Table
7.4c).
Transportation sector monthly consumption is estimated by
multiplying each months residual fuel oil balance by the
annual transportation consumption share of the annual residual fuel oil balance.
Total industrial sector monthly consumption is estimated as
total residual fuel oil supplied minus the amount consumed by
the commercial, transportation, and electric power sectors.
Other Petroleum Products
Consumption of all remaining petroleum products is
assigned to the industrial sector.
Other petroleum
products include pentanes plus, petrochemical feedstocks,
special naphthas, still gas (refinery gas), waxes, and
miscellaneous products. Beginning in 1981, also includes

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

Natural Gas
Note 1. Natural Gas Production. Final annual data are
from the U.S. Energy Information Administrations (EIA)
Natural Gas Annual (NGA).
Data for the two most recent months presented are
estimated. Some of the data for earlier months are also estimated or computed. For a discussion of computation and estimation procedures, see EIAs Natural Gas Monthly (NGM).
Monthly data are considered preliminary until after publication
of the NGA. Preliminary monthly data are gathered from
reports to the Interstate Oil Compact Commission and the U.S.
Minerals Management Service.
Volumetric data are
converted, as necessary, to a standard pressure base of 14.73
psia (pounds per square inch absolute) at 60 Fahrenheit.
Unless there are major changes, data are not revised until after
publication of the NGA.
Differences between annual data in the NGA and the sum of
preliminary monthly data (JanuaryDecember) are allocated
proportionally to the months to create final monthly data.
Note 2. Natural Gas Plant Liquids Production. Natural
gas plant liquids (NGPL) production is the reduction in
volume of natural gas resulting from the removal of natural
gas liquid constituents at natural gas processing
plantsthese natural gas plant liquids are transferred to
petroleum supply.
Annual data are from EIAs Natural Gas Annual (NGA),
where they are estimated on the basis of the type and quantity of liquid products extracted from the gas stream and the
calculated volume of such products at standard conditions.
For a detailed explanation of the calculations used to derive
estimated NGPL production, see the NGA.
Through 2006, preliminary monthly data are estimated on the
basis of NGPL production as an annual percentage of
marketed production. Beginning in 2007, preliminary monthly
data are estimated on the basis of NGPL production reported
on Form EIA-816, Monthly Natural Gas Liquids Report.
Monthly data are revised and considered final after publication
of the NGA. Final monthly data are estimated by allocating
annual NGPL production data to the months on the basis of
total natural gas marketed production data from the NGA.
Note 3. Supplemental Gaseous Fuels. Supplemental
gaseous fuels are any substances that, introduced into or
commingled with natural gas, increase the volume available for disposition. Such substances include, but are not
limited to, propane-air, refinery gas, coke oven gas, still
gas, manufactured gas, biomass gas, and air or inert gases
added for Btu stabilization.
Annual data beginning with 1980 are from EIAs Natural
Gas Annual (NGA). Unknown quantities of supplemental
gaseous fuels are included in consumption data for 1979 and
earlier years. Monthly data are considered preliminary until
after publication of the NGA. Monthly estimates are based on

the annual ratio of supplemental gaseous fuels to the sum of dry


gas production, net imports, and net withdrawals from storage.
The ratio is applied to the monthly sum of the three elements to
compute a monthly supplemental gaseous fuels figure.
Although the total amount of supplemental gaseous fuels
consumed is known for 1980 forward, the amount consumed
by each energy-use sector is estimated by EIA. These estimates
are used to create natural gas (without supplemental gaseous
fuels) data for Tables 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.6 (note: to avoid
double-counting in these tables, supplemental gaseous fuels are
accounted for in their primary energy category: Coal, Petroleum, or Biomass). It is assumed that supplemental gaseous
fuels are commingled with natural gas consumed by the residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric power
sectors, but are not commingled with natural gas used for lease
and plant fuel, pipelines and distribution, or vehicle fuel. The
estimated consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels by each
sector (residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric
power) is calculated as that sectors natural gas consumption
(see Table 4.3) divided by the sum of natural gas consumption
by the residential, commercial, other industrial, and electric
power sectors (see Table 4.3), and then multiplied by total
supplemental gaseous fuels consumption (see Table 4.1). For
estimated sectoral consumption of supplemental gaseous fuels
in Btu, the residential, commercial, and other industrial values
in cubic feet are multiplied by the End-Use Sectors conversion factors (see Table A4), and the electric power values in
cubic feet are multiplied by the Electric Power Sector conversion factors (see Table A4). Total supplemental gaseous fuels
consumption in Btu is calculated as the sum of the Btu values
for the sectors.
Note 4. Natural Gas Storage. Natural gas in storage at
the end of a reporting period may not equal the quantity
derived by adding or subtracting net injections or withdrawals from the quantity in storage at the end of the previous
period. Injection and withdrawal data from the
FERC-8/EIA-191 survey may be adjusted to correspond to
data from Form EIA-176 for publication of EIAs Natural
Gas Annual (NGA).
Total underground storage capacity, which includes both
active and inactive fields, at the end of each calendar year
since 1975 (first year data were available), in billion cubic
feet, was:

Through 1990, monthly underground storage data are


collected from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
Form FERC-8 (interstate data) and EIA Form EIA-191
(intrastate data). Beginning in 1991, all data are collected on
the revised Form EIA-191. Injection and withdrawal data from
the EIA-191 survey may be adjusted to correspond to data from
Form EIA-176 following publication of EIAs NGA.
The final monthly and annual storage and withdrawal data for
19802013 include both underground and liquefied natural
gas (LNG) storage. Annual data on LNG additions and withdrawals are from Form EIA-176. Monthly data are estimated
by computing the ratio of each months underground storage
additions and withdrawals to annual underground storage
additions and withdrawals and applying the ratio to the annual
LNG data.
Note 5. Natural Gas Balancing Item. The balancing item
for natural gas represents the difference between the sum of
the components of natural gas supply and the sum of
components of natural gas disposition. The differences may
be due to quantities lost or to the effects of data reporting
problems. Reporting problems include differences due to the
net result of conversions of flow data metered at varying
temperature and pressure bases and converted to a standard
temperature and pressure base; the effect of variations in
company accounting and billing practices; differences between
billing cycle and calendar period time frames; and imbalances
resulting from the merger of data reporting systems that vary
in scope, format, definitions, and type of respondents.
Note 6. Natural Gas Consumption. Natural gas
consumption statistics include data for the following: Residential Sector: residential deliveries; Commercial Sector:
commercial deliveries, including to commercial combinedheat-and-power (CHP) and commercial electricity-only
plants; Industrial Sector: lease and plant fuel use, and
other industrial deliveries, including to industrial CHP and
industrial electricity-only plants; Transportation Sector:
pipelines and distribution use, and vehicle fuel use; and
Electric Power Sector: electric utility and independent
power producer use.
Final data for series other than Other Industrial CHP and
Electric Power Sector are from EIAs Natural Gas Annual
(NGA). Monthly data are considered preliminary until after
publication of the NGA. For more detailed information on the
methods of estimating preliminary and final monthly data, see
EIAs Natural Gas Monthly.
Note 7. Natural Gas Consumption, 19891992. Prior to
1993, deliveries to nonutility generators were not separately collected from natural gas companies on Form EIA176, Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas
Supply and Disposition. As a result, for 19891992,
those volumes are probably included in both the industrial
and electric power sectors and double-counted in total
consumption. In 1993, 0.28 trillion cubic feet was
reported as delivered to nonutility generators.
88

Note 8. Natural Gas Data Adjustments, 19932000. For


19932000, the original data for natural gas delivered to
industrial consumers (now Other Industrial in Table 4.3)
included deliveries to both industrial users and independent
power producers (IPPs). These data were adjusted to remove
the estimated consumption at IPPs from Other Industrial
and include it with electric utilities under Electric Power
Sector. (To estimate the monthly IPP consumption, the
monthly pattern for Other Industrial CHP in Table 4.3 was
used.)
For 19962000, monthly data for several natural gas series
shown in EIAs Natural Gas Navigator (see
http://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/ng_cons_sum_dcu_nus_m.htm)
were not reconciled and updated to be consistent with the
final annual data in EIAs Natural Gas Annual. In the
Monthly Energy Review, monthly data for these series were
adjusted so that the monthly data sum to the final annual
values. The Table 4.1 data series (and years) that were
adjusted are: Gross Withdrawals (1996, 1997), Marketed
Production (1997), NGPL Production (1997, 1998, 2000), Dry
Gas Production (1996, 1997), Supplemental Gaseous Fuels
(19972000), Balancing Item (19972000), and Total
Consumption (19972000). The Table 4.3 data series (and
years) that were adjusted are:
Lease and Plant Fuel
(19972000), Total Industrial (19972000), Pipelines and
Distribution (2000), Total Transportation (2000), and Total
Consumption (19972000).
Note 9. Natural Gas Imports and Exports. The United
States imports natural gas via pipeline from Canada and
Mexico; and imports liquefied natural gas (LNG) via tanker
from Algeria, Australia, Brunei, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Peru, Qatar,
Trinidad and Tobago, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
In addition, small amounts of LNG arrived from Canada in
1973 (667 million cubic feet), 1977 (572 million cubic feet),
1981 (6 million cubic feet), 2013 (555 million cubic feet),
2014 (132 million cubic feet), and 2015 (333 million cubic
feet). Also, small amounts of compressed natural gas (CNG)
were imported from Canada in 2014 and 2015. The United
States exports natural gas via pipeline to Canada and Mexico;
and exports LNG via tanker to Brazil, Chile, China, India,
Japan, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and
United Kingdom. Also, small amounts of LNG have gone to
Mexico since 1998 and to Canada in 2007 and 2012 forward.
Small amounts of CNG have been exported to Canada since
2013.
Annual and final monthly data are from the annual EIA
Form FPC-14, Annual Report for Importers and Exporters
of Natural Gas, which requires data to be reported by
month for the calendar year.
Preliminary monthly data are EIA estimates. For a discussion
of estimation procedures, see EIAs Natural Gas Monthly.
Preliminary data are revised after publication of EIAs U.S.
Imports and Exports of Natural Gas.

a Rotary rigs in operation are reported weekly. Monthly data are averages of 4or 5-week reporting periods, not calendar months. Multi-month data are averages
of the reported data over the covered months, not averages of the weekly data.
Annual data are averages over 52 or 53 weeks, not calendar years. Published data
are rounded to the nearest whole number.
b Sum of rigs drilling for crude oil, rigs drilling for natural gas, and other rigs (not
shown) drilling for miscellaneous purposes, such as service wells, injection wells,
and stratigraphic tests. "Total" values may not equal the sum of "Onshore" and
"Offshore" due to independent rounding.
c The number of rigs doing true workovers (where tubing is pulled from the well),
or doing rod string and pump repair operations, and that are, on average, crewed
and working every day of the month.

R=Revised. NA=Not available.


Note: Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Notes: Data are estimates. For 19601969, data are for well completion
reports received by the American Petroleum Institute during the reporting year; for
all other years, data are for well completions in a given year. Through 1989,
these well counts include only the original drilling of a hole intended to discover or
further develop already discovered crude oil or natural gas resources. Other drilling
activities, such as drilling an old well deeper, drilling of laterals from the original
well, drilling of service and injection wells, and drilling for resources other than
crude oil or natural gas are excluded. Beginning in 1990, a new well is defined as
the first hole in the ground whether it is lateral or not. Due to the methodology used
to estimate ultimate well counts from the available partially reported data, the
counts shown on this page are frequently revised. See Note, "Crude Oil and

Natural Gas Exploratory and Development Wells," at end of section. Geographic


coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#crude (Excel and
CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Resource


Development
Note. Crude Oil and Natural Gas Exploratory and
Development Wells. Three well types are considered in the
Monthly Energy Review (MER) drilling statistics:
completed for crude oil, completed for natural gas, and
dry hole. Wells that productively encounter both crude
oil and natural gas are categorized as completed for crude
oil. Both development wells and exploratory wells (new
field wildcats, new pool tests, and extension tests) are
included in the statistics. All other classes of wells drilled in
connection with the search for producible hydrocarbons are
excluded. If a lateral is drilled at the same time as the original
hole it is not counted separately, but its footage is included.
Prior to the March 1985 MER, drilling statistics consisted of

completion data for the above types and classes of wells as


reported to the American Petroleum Institute (API) during a
given month. Due to time lags between the date of well
completion and the date of completion reporting to the API,
as-reported well completions proved to be an inaccurate
indicator of drilling activity. During 1982, for example,
as-reported well completions rose, while the number of
actual completions fell. Consequently, the drilling statistics
published since the March 1985 MER are U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) estimates produced by
statistically imputing well counts and footage based on the
partial data available from the API. These estimates are
subject to continuous revision as new data, some of which
pertain to earlier months and years, become available.
Additional information about the EIA estimation
methodology may be found in Estimating Well
Completions, a feature article published in the March 1985
MER.

a Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery (coal


recaptured from a refuse mine and cleaned to reduce the concentration of
noncombustible materials).
b Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry
dam, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric
power and industrial sectors. Beginning in 1989, waste coal supplied is counted as
a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal included in
"Consumption."
c Net imports equal imports minus exports. A minus sign indicates exports are
greater than imports.
d A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates
an increase. See Table 6.3 for stocks data coverage.
e In 1949, stock change is included in "Losses and Unaccounted for."
f The difference between calculated coal supply and disposition, due to coal

quantities lost or to data reporting problems.


R=Revised. E=Estimate. NA=Not available. F=Forecast.
Notes: For methodology used to calculate production, consumption, and
stocks, see Note 1, "Coal Production," Note 2, "Coal Consumption," and Note 3,
"Coal Stocks," at end of section. Data values preceded by "F" are derived from
the U.S. Energy Information Administrations Short-Term Integrated Forecasting
System. See Note 4, "Coal Forecast Values," at end of section. Totals may not
equal sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is
the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#coal (Excel and
CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
E=Estimate. F=Forecast.
Notes: CHP monthly values are from Table 7.4c; electric power sector monthly
values are from Table 7.4b; all other monthly values are estimates derived from
collected quarterly and annual data. See Note 2, "Coal Consumption," at end of
section. Data values preceded by "F" are derived from EIAs Short-Term
Integrated Forecasting System. See Note 4, "Coal Forecast Values," at end of
section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Coal
Note 1. Coal Production. Preliminary monthly estimates
of national coal production are the sum of weekly estimates
developed by the U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA) and published in the Weekly Coal Production report.
When a week extends into a new month, production is allocated on a daily basis and added to the appropriate month.
Weekly estimates are based on Association of American
Railroads (AAR) data showing the number of railcars
loaded with coal during the week by Class I and certain
other railroads.
Through 2001, the weekly coal production model converted
AAR data into short tons of coal by using the average
number of short tons of coal per railcar loaded reported in
the Quarterly Freight Commodity Statistics from the
Surface Transportation Board. If an average coal tonnage
per railcar loaded was not available for a specific railroad,
the national average was used. To derive the estimate of
total weekly production, the total rail tonnage for the week
was divided by the ratio of quarterly production shipped by
rail and total quarterly production. Data for the corresponding quarter of previous years were used to derive this ratio.
This method ensured that the seasonal variations were
preserved in the production estimates.
From 2002 through 2014, the weekly coal production model
used statistical auto regressive methods to estimate national
coal production as a function of railcar loadings of coal,
heating degree-days, and cooling degree-days. On Thursday
of each week, EIA received from the AAR data for the
previous week. The latest weekly national data for heating
degree-days and cooling degree-days were obtained from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations
Climate Prediction Center.
Beginning in 2015, the revised weekly coal production
model uses statistical auto regressive methods to estimate
national coal production as a function of railcar loadings of
coal. EIA receives AAR data on Thursday of each week for
prior week car loadings. The weekly coal model is run and
a national level coal production estimate is obtained. From
there, state-level estimates are calculated using historical
state production share. The state estimates are then aggregated to various regional-level estimates. The weekly coal
model is refit every quarter after preliminary coal data are
available.
When preliminary quarterly data become available, the
monthly and weekly estimates are adjusted to conform to the
quarterly figures. The adjustment procedure uses historical
state-level production data, the methodology for which can
be
seen
in
the
documentation
located
at
http://www.eia.gov/coal/production/weekly/.
Initial estimates of annual production published in January of the
following year are based on preliminary production data
covering the first nine months (three quarters) and
weekly/monthly estimates for the fourth quarter. All
100

quarterly, monthly, and weekly production figures are


adjusted to conform to the final annual production data
published in the Monthly Energy Review in the fall of the
following year.
Note 2. Coal Consumption. Forecast data (designated by
an F) are derived from forecasted values shown in EIAs
Short-Term Energy Outlook (DOE/EIA-0202) table titled
U.S. Coal Supply, Consumption, and Inventories. The
monthly estimates are based on the quarterly values, which
are released in March, June, September, and December. The
estimates are revised quarterly as collected data become available from the data sources. Sector-specific information
follows.
Residential and CommercialThrough 2007, coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors is reported to
EIA for the two sectors combined; EIA estimates the amount
consumed by the sectors individually. To create the
estimates, it is first assumed that an occupied coal-heated
housing unit consumes fuel at the same Btu rate as an oilheated housing unit. Then, for the years in which data are
available on the number of occupied housing units by heating source (19731981 and subsequent odd-numbered
years), residential consumption of coal is estimated using
the following steps: a ratio is created of the number of
occupied housing units heated by coal to the number of
occupied housing units heated by oil; that ratio is then multiplied by the Btu quantity of oil consumed by the residential
sector to derive an estimate of the Btu quantity of coal
consumed by the residential sector; and, finally, the amount
estimated as the residential sector consumption is subtracted
from the residential and commercial sectors combined
consumption to derive the commercial sectors estimated
consumption. Beginning in 2008, residential coal consumption data are not collected by EIA, and commercial coal
consumption data are taken directly from reported data.
Industrial Coke PlantsThrough 1979, monthly coke plant
consumption data were taken directly from reported data.
For 19801987, coke plant consumption estimates were
derived by proportioning reported quarterly data by using
the ratios of monthly-to-quarterly consumption data in 1979,
the last year in which monthly data were reported. Beginning in 1988, monthly coke plant consumption estimates are
derived from the reported quarterly data by using monthly
ratios of raw steel production data from the American Iron
and Steel Institute. The ratios are the monthly raw steel
production from open hearth and basic oxygen process
furnaces as a proportion of the quarterly production from
those kinds of furnaces.
Industrial OtherThrough 1977, monthly consumption data
for the other industrial sector (all industrial users minus
coke plants) were derived by using reported data to modify
baseline consumption figures from the most recent U.S.
Census Bureau Annual Survey of Manufactures or Census
of Manufactures. For 1978 and 1979, monthly estimates
were derived from data reported on Forms EIA-3 and

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

EIA-6. For 19801987, monthly figures were estimated


by proportioning quarterly data by using the ratios of
monthly-to-quarterly consumption data in 1979, the last
year in which monthly data were reported on Form
EIA-3. Beginning in 1988, monthly consumption for the
other industrial sector is estimated from reported quarterly data by using ratios derived from industrial production indices published by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System. Indices for six major industry
groups are used as the basis for calculating the ratios:
food manufacturing, which is North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) code 311; paper manufacturing, NAICS 322; chemical manufacturing, NAICS
325; petroleum and coal products, NAICS 324; nonmetallic mineral products manufacturing, NAICS 327;
and primary metal manufacturing, NAICS 331. The
monthly ratios are computed as the monthly sum of the
weighted indices as a proportion of the quarterly sum of
the weighted indices by using the 1977 proportion as the
weights. Through 2007, quarterly consumption data for
the other industrial sector were derived by adding beginning stocks at manufacturing plants to current receipts
and subtracting ending stocks at manufacturing plants.
In this calculation, current receipts are the greater of
either reported receipts from manufacturing plants (Form
EIA-3) or reported shipments to the other industrial
sector (Form EIA-6), thereby ensuring that agriculture,
forestry, fishing, and construction consumption data
were included where appropriate. Beginning in 2008,
quarterly consumption totals for other industrial coal
include data for manufacturing and mining only. Over
time, surveyed coal consumption data for agriculture,
forestry, fishing, and construction dwindled to about
2030 thousand short tons annually. Therefore, in 2008,
EIA consolidated its programs by eliminating
agriculture, forestry, fishing, and construction as
surveyed sectors.
Electric Power SectorMonthly consumption data for
electric power plants are taken directly from reported
data.
Note 3. Coal Stocks. Coal stocks data are reported by
major end-use sector. Forecast data (designated by an
F) are derived from forecasted values shown in EIAs
Short-Term Energy Outlook (DOE/EIA-0202) table titled
U.S. Coal Supply, Consumption, and Inventories. The
monthly estimates are based on the quarterly values
(released in March, June, September, and December) or
annual values. The estimates are revised as collected
data become available from the data sources. Sectorspecific information follows.
Producers and DistributorsThrough 1997, quarterly
stocks at producers and distributors were taken directly
from reported data. Monthly data were estimated by
using one-third of the current quarterly change to indicate
the monthly change in stocks. Beginning in 1998,

end-of-year stocks are taken from reported data.


Monthly stocks are estimated by a model.
Residential and CommercialThrough 1979, stock estimates for the residential and commercial sector were
taken directly from reported data. For 19802007, stock
estimates were not collected. Beginning in 2008, quarterly
commercial (excluding residential) stocks data are collected
on Form EIA-3 (data for Commercial and Institutional
Coal Users).
Industrial Coke PlantsThrough 1979, monthly stocks at
coke plants were taken directly from reported data. Beginning in 1980, coke plant stocks are estimated by using onethird of the current quarterly change to indicate the monthly
change in stocks. Quarterly stocks are taken directly from
data reported on Form EIA-5.
Industrial OtherThrough 1977, stocks for the other
industrial sector were derived by using reported data to modify
baseline figures from a one-time Bureau of Mines survey of
consumers. For 19781982, monthly estimates were derived
by judgmentally proportioning reported quarterly data based on
representative seasonal patterns of supply and demand. Beginning in 1983, other industrial coal stocks are estimated as indicated above for coke plants. Quarterly stocks are taken directly
from data reported on Form EIA-3 and therefore include only
manufacturing industries; data for agriculture, forestry, fishing,
mining, and construction stocks are not available.
Electric Power SectorMonthly stocks data at electric
power plants are taken directly from reported data.
Note 4. Coal Forecast Values. Data values preceded by F
in this section are forecast values. They are derived from EIAs
Short-Term Integrated Forecasting System (STIFS). The
model is driven primarily by data and assumptions about key
macroeconomic variables, the world oil price, and weather.
The coal forecast relies on other variables as well, such as alternative fuel prices (natural gas and oil) and power generation by
sources other than fossil fuels, including nuclear and hydroelectric power. Each month, EIA staff review the model output and
make adjustments, if appropriate, based on their knowledge of
developments in the coal industry.
The STIFS model results are published monthly in EIAs
Short-Term Energy Outlook, which is accessible on the Web
at http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/steo/.

distributed solar photovoltaic generation, which was 10 billion kilowatthours in 2014.
See Note 1, Coverage of Electricity Statistics, at end of section.
b Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS
22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to
the public. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data
are for electric utilities and independent power producers.
c Commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and commercial electricity-only
plants.
d Industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and industrial electricity-only
plants. Through 1988, data are for industrial hydroelectric power only.
e Electricity transmitted across U.S. borders. Net imports equal imports minus
exports.
f Transmission and distribution losses (electricity losses that occur between the
point of generation and delivery to the customer). See Note 2, "Electrical System
Energy Losses," at end of Section 2.

a Anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, waste coal, and coal
synfuel.
b Fuel oil nos. 1, 2, and 4. For 19491979, data are for gas turbine and internal
combustion plant use of petroleum. For 19802000, electric utility data also include
small amounts of kerosene and jet fuel.
c Fuel oil nos. 5 and 6. For 19491979, data are for steam plant use of
petroleum. For 19802000, electric utility data also include a small amount of fuel
oil no. 4.
d Jet fuel, kerosene, other petroleum liquids, waste oil, and, beginning in 2011,
propane.
e Petroleum coke is converted from short tons to barrels by multiplying by 5.
f Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels.
g Blast furnace gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from
fossil fuels. Through 2010, also includes propane gas.
h Wood and wood-derived fuels.
i Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste,
agricultural byproducts, and other biomass.
Through 2000, also includes
non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and
tire-derived fuels).

114

j Batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, miscellaneous


technologies, and, beginning in 2001, non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste
from non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived fuels).
k Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only. Beginning in 1989, data are
for electric utilities and independent power producers.
NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: Data are for utility-scale facilities. See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity
Statistics," at end of section. Data are for fuels consumed to produce electricity.
Data also include fuels consumed to produce useful thermal output at a small
number of electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants. The electric
power sector comprises electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP)
plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or
electricity and heat, to the public. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the
District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#electricity (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

Electricity
Note 1. Coverage of Electricity Statistics. Through
1984, data for electric utilities also include institutions
(such as universities) and military facilities that generated
electricity primarily for their own use; beginning in 1985,
data for electric utilities exclude institutions and military
facilities. Data for independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants include plants with a
generator nameplate capacity of one megawatt or greater;
they exclude plants with a generator nameplate capacity
less than one megawatt. Also excluded from the electricity
statistics in Section 7 are data for residential and commercial self-generation from solar energy, except for the small
amount sold to the grid and included in data for the electric
power sector.

Note 2. Classification of Power Plants Into EnergyUse Sectors. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) classifies power plants (both electricity-only
and combined-heat-and-power plants) into energy-use
sectors based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system in 1997. Plants with a
NAICS code of 22 are assigned to the Electric Power
Sector. Those with NAICS codes beginning with 11
(agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting); 21 (mining,
including oil and gas extraction); 23 (construction); 3133
(manufacturing); 2212 (natural gas distribution); and
22131 (water supply and irrigation systems) are assigned
to the Industrial Sector. Those with all other codes are
assigned to the Commercial Sector. Form EIA-860,
Annual Electric Generator Report, asks respondents to
indicate the primary purpose of the facility by assigning a
NAICS code from the list at
http://www.eia.gov/survey/form/eia_860/instructions.pdf.

1989 forward: Annual shares are calculated as annual direct
use divided by annual commercial and industrial net generation (on Table 7.1). Then monthly direct use estimates are
calculated as the annual share multiplied by the monthly
commercial and industrial net generation values. For 2014
and 2015, the 2013 annual share is used.

at end of section.
b At end of period.
c For the definition of "Net Summer Capacity," see Note 2, "Nuclear Capacity,"
at end of section. Beginning in 2011, monthly capacity values are estimated in two
steps: 1) uprates and derates reported on Form EIA-860M are added to specific
months; and 2) the difference between the resulting year-end capacity (from data
reported on Form EIA-860M) and final capacity (reported on Form EIA-860) is
allocated to the month of January.
d Beginning in 2008, capacity factor data are calculated using a new

methodology. For an explanation of the method of calculating the capacity factor,


see Note 2, "Nuclear Capacity," at end of section.
E=Estimate. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.05%.
Notes: For a discussion of nuclear reactor unit coverage, see Note 1,
"Operable Nuclear Reactors," at end of section. Nuclear electricity net
generation totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

(b) Net Design Capacity or Net Design Electrical Rating


(DER)The nominal net electrical output of a unit,
specified by the utility and used for plant design.

Nuclear Energy
Note 1. Operable Nuclear Reactors. A reactor is
generally defined as operable while it possessed a full-power
license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or its
predecessor the Atomic Energy Commission, or equivalent
permission to operate, at the end of the year or month
shown. The definition is liberal in that it does not exclude
units retaining full-power licenses during long, non-routine
shutdowns that for a time rendered them unable to generate
electricity. Examples are:
(a) In 1985 the five then-active Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA) units (Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3, and Sequoyah 1 and
2) were shut down under a regulatory forced outage. All
five units were idle for several years, restarting in 2007,
1991, 1995, 1988, and 1988, respectively and were counted
as operable during the shutdowns.
(b) Shippingport was shut down from 1974 through 1976
for conversion to a light-water breeder reactor, but is
counted as operable from 1957 until its retirement in 1982.
(c) Calvert Cliffs 2 was shut down in 1989 and 1990 for
replacement of pressurizer heater sleeves but is counted as
operable during those years.
Exceptions to the definition are Shoreham and Three Mile
Island 2. Shoreham was granted a full-power license in
April 1989, but was shut down two months later and never
restarted. In 1991, the license was changed to Possession
Only. Although not operable at the end of the year,
Shoreham is counted as operable during 1989. A major
accident closed Three Mile Island 2 in 1979, and although
the unit retained its full-power license for several years, it
is considered permanently shut down since that year.
The following nuclear generating units were retired in 2013:
Crystal River 3 in February; Kewaunee in May; and San
Onofre 2 and 3 in June. Vermont Yankee was retired in
December 2014.
Note 2. Nuclear Capacity. Nuclear generating units may
have more than one type of net capacity rating, including the
following:
(a) Net Summer CapacityThe steady hourly output that
generating equipment is expected to supply to system load,
exclusive of auxiliary power, as demonstrated by test at the
time of summer peak demand. Auxiliary power of a typical
nuclear power plant is about 5% of gross generation.

130

Through 2007, the monthly capacity factors are calculated


as the monthly nuclear electricity net generation divided
by the maximum possible nuclear electricity net
generation for that month. The maximum possible nuclear
electricity net generation is the number of hours in the
month (assuming 24-hour days, with no adjustment for
changes to or from Daylight Savings Time) multiplied by
the net summer capacity of operable nuclear generating
units at the end of the month. That fraction is then
multiplied by 100 to obtain a percentage. Annual capacity
factors are calculated as the annual nuclear electricity net
generation divided by the annual maximum possible nuclear
electricity net generation (the sum of the monthly values for
maximum possible nuclear electricity net generation). For the
methodology used to calculate capacity factors beginning in
2008, see U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric
Power Monthly, Appendix C notes on Average Capacity
Factors.

Notes: The Free on Board (F.O.B.) cost at the country of origin excludes all
costs related to insurance and transportation. See "F.O.B. (Free on Board)" in
Glossary, and Note 3, "Crude Oil F.O.B. Costs," at end of section. Values for the
current two months are preliminary. Through 1980, prices reflect the period of
reporting; beginning in 1981, prices reflect the period of loading.
Annual averages are averages of the monthly prices, including prices not
published, weighted by volume. Cargoes that are purchased on a "netback"
basis, or under similar contractual arrangements whereby the actual purchase price
is not established at the time the crude oil is acquired for importation into the United
States, are not included in the published data until the actual prices have been
determined and reported. U.S. geographic coverage is the 50 states and the
District of Columbia.

Costs," at end of section. Values for the current two months are preliminary.

Through 1980, prices reflect the period of reporting; beginning in 1981, prices
reflect the period of loading. Annual averages are averages of the monthly
prices, including prices not published, weighted by volume. Cargoes that are
purchased on a "netback" basis, or under similar contractual arrangements
whereby the actual purchase price is not established at the time the crude oil is
acquired for importation into the United States, are not included in the published
data until the actual prices have been determined and reported. U.S. geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

a Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Price" in Glossary.
b Commercial sector. For 19602002, prices exclude public street and highway
lighting, interdepartmental sales, and other sales to public authorities.
c Industrial sector. For 19602002, prices exclude agriculture and irrigation.
d Transportation sector, including railroads and railways.
e Public street and highway lighting, interdepartmental sales, other sales to

and railways.
R=Revised. NA=Not available. =Not applicable.
Notes: Beginning in 2003, the category "Other" has been replaced by
"Transportation," and the categories "Commercial" and "Industrial" have been
redefined. Prices are calculated by dividing revenue by sales. Revenue may not
correspond to sales for a particular month because of energy service provider
billing and accounting procedures. That lack of correspondence could result in
uncharacteristic increases or decreases in the monthly prices. Prices include
state and local taxes, energy or demand charges, customer service charges,
environmental surcharges, franchise fees, fuel adjustments, and other
miscellaneous charges applied to end-use customers during normal billing
operations. Prices do not include deferred charges, credits, or other adjustments,
such as fuel or revenue from purchased power, from previous reporting periods.
Through 1979, data are for Classes A and B privately owned electric utilities only.

(Class A utilities are those with operating revenues of $2.5 million or more; Class B
utilities are those with operating revenues between $1 million and $2.5 million.) For
19801982, data are for selected Class A utilities whose electric operating
revenues were $100 million or more during the previous year. For 1983, data are
for a selected sample of electric utilities. Beginning in 1984, data are for a census
of electric utilities. Beginning in 1996, data also include energy service providers
selling to retail customers. See Note 7, "Electricity Retail Prices," at end of
section for plant coverage, and for information on preliminary and final values.
Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

a Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
b For 19732001, electric utility data are for heavy oil (fuel oil nos. 5 and 6, and

small amounts of fuel oil no. 4).


c For 19732001, electric utility data are for light oil (fuel oil nos. 1 and 2).
d For all years, includes residual fuel oil and distillate fuel oil. For 1990 forward,
also includes petroleum coke. For 19732012, also includes jet fuel, kerosene, and
waste oil. For 19832012, also includes other petroleum, such as propane and
refined motor oil.
e Natural gas, plus a small amount of supplemental gaseous fuels. For
19732000, data also include a small amount of blast furnace gas and other gases
derived from fossil fuels.
f Weighted average of costs shown under "Coal," "Petroleum," and "Natural
Gas."
g Through 2001, data are for electric utilities only. Beginning in 2002, data also
include independent power producers, and electric generating plants in the

commercial and industrial sectors.


NA=Not available. W=Value withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company
data.
Notes: Receipts are purchases of fuel. Yearly costs are averages of
monthly values, weighted by quantities in Btu. For this table, there are several
breaks in the data series related to what plants and fuels are covered. Beginning in
2013, data cover all regulated generating plants; plus unregulated plants whose
total fossil-fueled nameplate generating capacity is 50 megawatts or more for coal,
and 200 megawatts or more for natural gas, residual fuel oil, distillate fuel oil, and
petroleum coke. For data coverage before 2013, see EIA, Electric Power Monthly,
Appendix C, Form EIA-923 notes, Receipts and cost and quality of fossil fuels
section. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#prices (Excel and
CSV files) for all available annual and monthly data beginning in 1973.

Energy Prices
Note 1. Crude Oil Refinery Acquisition Costs. Beginning with January 1981, refiner acquisition costs of crude
oil are from data collected on U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) Form EIA-14, Refiners Monthly
Cost Report. Those costs were previously published from
data collected on Economic Regulatory Administration
(ERA) Form ERA-49, Domestic Crude Oil Entitlements
Program Refiners Monthly Report. Form ERA-49 was
discontinued with the decontrol of crude oil on January 28,
1981. Crude oil purchases and costs are defined for Form
EIA-14 in accordance with conventions used for Form
ERA-49. The respondents for the two forms are also essentially the same. However, due to possible different interpretations of the filing requirements and a different method for
handling prior period adjustments, care must be taken when
comparing the data collected on the two forms.
The refiner acquisition cost of crude oil is the average
price paid by refiners for crude oil booked into their refineries in accordance with accounting procedures generally
accepted and consistently and historically applied by the
refiners concerned. Domestic crude oil is that oil produced
in the United States or from the outer continental shelf as
defined in 43 USC Section 1331. Imported crude oil is
either that oil reported on Form ERA-51, Transfer Pricing
Report, or any crude oil that is not domestic oil. The
composite cost is the weighted average of domestic and
imported crude oil costs.
Crude oil costs and volumes reported on Form ERA-49
excluded unfinished oils but included the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Crude oil costs and volumes reported
on Federal Energy Administration (FEA) Form FEA-P110M-1, Refiners Monthly Cost Allocation Report, included
unfinished oils but excluded SPR. Imported averages
derived from Form ERA-49 exclude oil purchased for SPR,
whereas the composite averages derived from Form ERA-49
include SPR. None of the prices derived from Form EIA-14
include either unfinished oils or SPR.

Note 4. Crude Oil Landed Costs. The landed cost of


imported crude oil from selected countries does not represent the total cost of all imported crude. Prior to April 1975,
imported crude costs to U.S. company-owned refineries in
the Caribbean were not included in the landed cost, and
costs of crude oil from countries that export only small
amounts to the United States were also excluded. Beginning
in April 1975, however, coverage was expanded to include
U.S. company-owned refineries in the Caribbean. Landed
costs do not include supplemental fees.
Note 5. Motor Gasoline Prices. Several different series of
motor gasoline prices are published in this section. U.S. city
average retail prices of motor gasoline by grade are calculated monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics during the
development of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). These
prices include all federal, state, and local taxes paid at the
time of sale. Prior to 1977, prices were collected in 56 urban
areas. From 1978 forward, prices are collected from a new
sample of service stations in 85 urban areas selected to
represent all urban consumersabout 80 percent of the total
U.S. population. The service stations are selected initially,
and on a replacement basis, in such a way that they represent the purchasing habits of the CPI population. Service
stations in the current sample include those providing all
types of service (i.e., full-, mini-, and self-serve).
Regular motor gasoline prices by area type are determined
by EIA in a weekly survey of retail motor gasoline outlets
(Form EIA-878, Motor Gasoline Price Survey). Prices
include all federal, state, and local taxes paid at the time of
sale. A representative sample of outlets by geographic area
and size is randomly selected from a sampling frame of
approximately 115,000 retail motor gasoline outlets.
Monthly and annual prices are simple averages of weighted
weekly estimates from "Weekly U.S. Retail Gasoline Prices,
Regular Grade." For more information on the survey methodology, see EIA, Weekly Petroleum Status Report, Appendix B, Weekly Petroleum Price Surveys section.

Note 2. Crude Oil Domestic First Purchase Prices. The


average domestic first purchase price represents the average
price at which all domestic crude oil is purchased. Crude oil
domestic first purchase prices were derived as follows: for
19491973, weighted average domestic first purchase
values as reported by state agencies and calculated by the
Bureau of Mines; for 1974 and 1975, weighted averages of
a sample survey of major first purchasers purchases; for
1976 forward, weighted averages of all first purchasers
purchases. The data series was previously called Actual
Domestic Wellhead Price.

Refiner prices of finished motor gasoline for resale and to


end users are determined by EIA in a monthly survey of
refiners and gas plant operators (Form EIA-782A). The
prices do not include any federal, state, or local taxes paid at
the time of sale. Estimates of prices prior to January 1983
are based on Form FEA-P302-M-1/EIA-460, Petroleum
Industry Monthly Report for Product Prices, and also
exclude all federal, state, or local taxes paid at the time of
sale. Sales for resale are those made to purchasers who are
other-than-ultimate consumers. Sales to end users are sales
made directly to the consumer of the product, including bulk
consumers (such as agriculture, industry, and utilities) and
residential and commercial consumers.

Note 3. Crude Oil F.O.B. Costs. F.O.B. literally means


Free on Board. It denotes a transaction whereby the seller
makes the product available with an agreement on a given
port at a given price; it is the responsibility of the buyer to
arrange for the transportation and insurance.

Note 6. Historical Petroleum Prices. Starting in January


1983, Form EIA-782, Monthly Petroleum Product Sales
Report, replaced 10 previous surveys. Every attempt was
made to continue the most important price series. However,
prices published through December 1982 and those

146

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

published since January 1983 do not necessarily form


continuous data series due to changes in survey forms, definitions, instructions, populations, samples, processing
systems, and statistical procedures. To provide historical
data, continuous series were generated for annual data
19781982 and for monthly data 1981 and 1982 by estimating the prices that would have been published had Form
EIA-782 survey and system been in operation at that time.
This form of estimation was performed after detailed adjustment was made for product and sales type matching and for
discontinuity due to other factors. An important difference
between the previous and present prices is the distinction
between wholesale and resale and between retail and end
user. The resale category continues to include sales among
resellers. However, sales to bulk consumers, such as utility,
industrial, and commercial accounts previously included in
the wholesale category, are now counted as made to end
users. The end-user category continues to include retail
sales through company-owned and operated outlets but
also includes sales to the bulk consumers such as agriculture, industry, and electric utilities. Additional information may be found in Estimated Historic Time Series for
the EIA-782, a feature article by Paula Weir, printed in
the December 1983 [3] Petroleum Marketing Monthly,
published by EIA.
Note 7. Electricity Retail Prices. Average annual retail
prices of electricity have the following plant coverage:
Through 1979, annual data are for Classes A and B
privately owned electric utilities only. For 19801982,
annual data are for selected Class A utilities whose electric
operating revenues were $100 million or more during the
previous year. For 1983, annual data are for a selected
sample of electric utilities. Beginning in 1984, data are for
a census of electric utilities. Beginning in 1996, annual
data also include energy service providers selling to retail
customers.
Average monthly retail prices of electricity have the
following plant coverage: Through 1985, monthly data are
derived from selected privately owned electric utilities
and, therefore, are not national averages. Beginning in
1986, monthly data are based on a sample of publicly and
privately owned electric utilities. Beginning in 1996,
monthly data also include energy service providers selling
to retail customers.
Preliminary monthly data are from Form EIA-826,
"Monthly Electric Sales and Revenue Report With State
Distributions Report," which is a monthly collection of
data from approximately 450 of the largest publicly and
privately owned electric utilities as well as a census of
energy service providers with retail sales in deregulated
states; a model is then applied to the collected data to estimate for the entire universe of U.S. electric utilities.
Preliminary annual data are the sum of the monthly revenues divided by the sum of the monthly sales. When final
annual data become available each year from Form EIA861, "Annual Electric Power Industry Report," their ratios

to the preliminary Form EIA-826 values are used to derive


adjusted final monthly values.
Note 8. Natural Gas Prices. Natural gas prices are
intended to include all taxes. Instructions on the data
collection forms specifically direct that all federal, state,
and local taxes, surcharges, and/or adjustments billed to
consumers are to be included. However, sales and other
taxes itemized on more than 3,000 consumers bills are
sometimes excluded by the reporting utilities. Deliveredto-consumers prices for 1987 forward represent natural
gas delivered and sold to residential, commercial, industrial, vehicle fuel, and electric power consumers. They do
not include the price of natural gas delivered on behalf of
third parties to residential, commercial, industrial, and vehicle
fuel customers except for certain states in the residential and
commercial sectors for 2002 forward. Volumes of natural gas
delivered on behalf of third parties are included in the
consumption data shown in Table 4.3. Additional information
is available in EIA, Natural Gas Monthly, Appendix C.

a Industrial sector, including industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and


industrial electricity-only plants. See Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into
Energy-Use Sectors," at end of Section 7.
b Conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu by multiplying
by the total fossil fuels heat rate factors in Table A6).
c Geothermal heat pump and direct use energy.
d Photovoltaic (PV) electricity net generation (converted to Btu by multiplying by
the total fossil fuels heat rate factors in Table A6) at industrial plants with capacity
of 1 megawatt or greater.
e Wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu by multiplying by the total
fossil fuels heat rate factors in Table A6).
f Wood and wood-derived fuels.
g Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste,
agricultural byproducts, and other biomass.
Through 2000, also includes
non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and
tire-derived fuels).
h The fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) portion of motor fuels, such as E10,
consumed by the industrial sector.
i Losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel.

Does not include natural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the
production of fuel ethanol and biodieselthese are included in the industrial sector
consumption statistics for the appropriate energy source.
j The fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) portion of motor fuels, such as E10 and
E85, consumed by the transportation sector.
k Although there is biodiesel use in other sectors, all biodiesel consumption is
assigned to the transportation sector.
l Beginning in 2009, includes imports minus stock change of other renewable
diesel fuel and other renewable fuels. See "Renewable Diesel Fuel (Other)" and
"Renewable Fuels (Other)" in Glossary.
NA=Not available. =No data reported. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: Data are estimates, except for industrial sector hydroelectric power in
19491978 and 1989 forward, solar/PV, and wind. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states
and the District of Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#renewable (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual data beginning in 1949 and monthly data
beginning in 1973.

a Total corn and other biomass inputs to the production of undenatured ethanol
used for fuel ethanol.
b Losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol. Does not include
natural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the production of fuel
ethanolthese are included in the industrial sector consumption statistics for the
appropriate energy source.
c The amount of denaturant in fuel ethanol produced.
d Includes denaturant.
e Through 2009, data are for fuel ethanol imports only; data for fuel ethanol
exports are not available. Beginning in 2010, data are for fuel ethanol imports
minus fuel ethanol (including industrial alcohol) exports.
f Stocks are at end of period.
g A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates
an increase.
h Consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant. Data for fuel ethanol minus
denaturant are used to develop data for "Renewable Energy/Biomass" in Tables

10.110.2b, as well as in Sections 1 and 2.


NA=Not available.
Notes: Mbbl = thousand barrels. MMgal = million U.S. gallons. TBtu = trillion
Btu. Fuel ethanol data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by
multiplying by 0.042, and are converted to Btu by multiplying by the approximate
heat content of fuel ethanolsee Table A3. Through 1980, data are not
available. For 19811992, data are estimates. For 19932008, only data for
feedstock, losses and co-products, and denaturant are estimates.
Beginning in 2009, only data for feedstock, and losses and co-products, are
estimates. See "Denaturant," "Ethanol," "Fuel Ethanol," and "Fuel Ethanol Minus
Denaturant" in Glossary. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the 50 states and the District of
Columbia.
Web Page: See http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#renewable (Excel
and CSV files) for all available annual and monthly data beginning in 1981.

a Total vegetable oil and other biomass inputs to the production of


biodieselcalculated by multiplying biodiesel production by 5.433 million Btu per
barrel. See "Biodiesel Feedstock" entry in the "Thermal Conversion Factor Source
Documentation" at the end of Appendix A.
b Losses and co-products from the production of biodiesel. Does not include
natural gas, electricity, and other non-biomass energy used in the production of
biodieselthese are included in the industrial sector consumption statistics for the
appropriate energy source.
c Net imports equal imports minus exports.
d Stocks are at end of period. Through 2010, includes stocks at bulk terminals
only. Beginning in 2011, includes stocks at bulk terminals and biodiesel production
plants.
e A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates
an increase.
f Imports minus stock change of other renewable diesel fuel and other
renewable fuels. See "Renewable Diesel Fuel (Other)" and "Renewable Fuels
(Other)" in Glossary.
g In 2009, because of incomplete data coverage and differing data sources, a
"Balancing Item" amount of 733 thousand barrels (653 thousand barrels in January

156

2009; 80 thousand barrels in February 2009) is used to balance biodiesel supply


and disposition.
h Derived from the final 2010 stocks value for bulk terminals and biodiesel
production plants (977 thousand barrels), not the final 2010 value for bulk terminals
only (672 thousand barrels) that is shown under Stocks.
i Derived from the preliminary 2014 stocks value (3,036 thousand barrels), not
the final 2014 value (3,131 thousand barrels) that is shown under Stocks.
NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu and greater than -0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: Mbbl = thousand barrels. MMgal = million U.S. gallons. TBtu = trillion
Btu. Biodiesel data in thousand barrels are converted to million gallons by
multiplying by 0.042, and are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.359 million Btu
per barrel (the approximate heat content of biodieselsee Table A1). Through
2000, data are not available. Beginning in 2001, data not from U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) surveys are estimates. Totals may not equal
sum of components due to independent rounding. Geographic coverage is the
50 states and the District of Columbia.

Renewable Energy
Note. Renewable Energy Production and Consumption.
In Tables 1.1, 1.3, and 10.1, renewable energy consumption
consists of: conventional hydroelectricity net generation
(converted to Btu by multiplying by the total fossil fuels
heat rate factors in Table A6); geothermal electricity net
generation (converted to Btu by multiplying by the total
fossil fuels heat rate factors in Table A6), and geothermal
heat pump and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal
and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu
by multiplying by the total fossil fuels heat rate factors in
Table A6), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu by multiplying by the
total fossil fuels heat rate factors in Table A6); wood and
wood-derived fuels consumption; biomass waste (municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge
waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biomass)
consumption; fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) and biodiesel consumption; and losses and co-products from the
production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. In Tables 1.1,
1.2, and 10.1, renewable energy production is assumed to
equal consumption for all renewable energy sources except
biofuels (biofuels production comprises biomass inputs to
the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel).

sector fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) consumption is equal
to fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) consumption from Table
10.3 multiplied by the transportation sector share of motor
gasoline consumption.

Transportation Sector, Biodiesel


2001 forward: Table 10.4. Transportation sector biodiesel
consumption is assumed to equal total biodiesel consumption.

Transportation Sector, Other Renewable Fuels


2009 forward: Table 10.4.

Transportation Sector, Total Renewable Energy


19812000: Transportation sector total renewable energy
consumption is equal to transportation sector fuel ethanol
(minus denaturant) consumption.
20012008: Transportation sector total renewable energy
consumption is the sum of the transportation sector consumption values for fuel ethanol (minus denaturant) and biodiesel.
2009 forward: Transportation sector total renewable energy
consumption is the sum of the transportation sector
consumption values for fuel ethanol (minus denaturant),
biodiesel, and other renewable fuels.

1981 forward: Calculated as fuel ethanol losses and


co-products from Table 10.3 plus biodiesel losses and
co-products from Table 10.4.

Consumption

Denaturant
19812008:
Data in thousand barrels for petroleum
denaturant in fuel ethanol produced are estimated as 2% of
fuel ethanol production; these data are converted to Btu by
multiplying by 4.645 million Btu per barrel (the estimated
quantity-weighted factor of pentanes plus and conventional
motor gasoline used as denaturant).
20092013: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA),
Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA), annual reports, Table 1.
Data in thousand barrels for net production of pentanes plus
at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are multiplied by
-1; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 4.620
million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of
pentanes plus). Data in thousand barrels for net production
of conventional motor gasoline and motor gasoline blending
components at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are
multiplied by -1; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.253 million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat
content of conventional motor gasoline). Total denaturant is
the sum of the values for pentanes plus, conventional motor
gasoline, and motor gasoline blending components.
2014 and 2015: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM),
monthly reports, Table 1. Data in thousand barrels for net
production of pentanes plus at renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are multiplied by -1; these data are converted to
Btu by multiplying by 4.620 million Btu per barrel (the
approximate heat content of pentanes plus). Data in
thousand barrels for net production of conventional motor
gasoline and motor gasoline blending components at
renewable fuels and oxygenate plants are multiplied by -1;
these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 5.253
million Btu per barrel (the approximate heat content of
conventional motor gasoline). Total denaturant is the sum
of the values for pentanes plus, conventional motor
gasoline, and motor gasoline blending components.

Consumption 1992, Table D2; and interpolated value for
1991.
19932004: EIA, PSA, annual reports, Tables 2 and 16.
Calculated as 10% of oxygenated finished motor gasoline
field production (Table 2), plus fuel ethanol refinery input
(Table 16).
20052008: EIA, PSA, annual reports, Tables 1 and 15.
Calculated as motor gasoline blending components adjustments
(Table 1), plus finished motor gasoline adjustments (Table 1),
plus fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs (Table 15).
20092013: EIA, PSA, annual reports, Table 1. Calculated
as fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs minus fuel
ethanol adjustments.
2014 and 2015: EIA, PSM, monthly reports, Table 1. Calculated as fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs minus
fuel ethanol adjustments.

Consumption Minus Denaturant


1981 forward: Calculated as fuel ethanol consumption
minus the amount of denaturant in fuel ethanol consumed.
Denaturant in fuel ethanol consumed is estimated by multiplying denaturant in fuel ethanol produced by the fuel
ethanol consumption-to-production ratio.

Table 10.4 Sources


Biodiesel Feedstock
2001 forward: Calculated as biodiesel production in
thousand barrels multiplied by 5.433 million Btu per barrel
(the biodiesel feedstock factorsee Table A3).

Biodiesel Losses and Co-products

Production
19811992: Fuel ethanol production is assumed to equal
fuel ethanol consumptionsee sources for "Consumption."
19932004: Calculated as fuel ethanol consumption plus
fuel ethanol stock change minus fuel ethanol net imports.
These data differ slightly from the original production data
from EIA, Form EIA-819, "Monthly Oxygenate Report,"
and predecessor form, which were not reconciled and
updated to be consistent with the final balance.
20052008: EIA, Form EIA-819, "Monthly Oxygenate

Biodiesel Production
20012005: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Commodity
Credit Corporation, Bioenergy Program records. Annual
data are derived from quarterly data. Monthly data are
estimated by dividing the annual data by the number of days
in the year and then multiplying by the number of days in the
month.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

2006: U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau,


M311KFats and Oils: Production, Consumption, and
Stocks, data for soybean oil consumed in methyl esters
(biodiesel). In addition, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that 14.4 million gallons of yellow
grease were consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel).
2007: U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau,

2008: EIA, Monthly Biodiesel Production Report, December 2009 (release date October 2010), Table 11. Monthly
data for 2008 are estimated based on U.S. Department of
Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, M311K data, multiplied
by the EIA 2008 annual values share of the M311K 2008
annual value.

Biodiesel Trade
20012011: For imports, U.S. Department of Agriculture,
data for the following Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes:
3824.90.40.20, Fatty Esters Animal/Vegetable Mixture
(data through June 2010); and 3824.90.40.30,
Biodiesel/Mixes (data for July 20102011). For exports,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, data for the following
Schedule B codes: 3824.90.40.00, Fatty Substances
Animal/Vegetable/Mixture (data through 2010); and
3824.90.40.30, Biodiesel <70% (data for 2011). (The
data above are converted from pounds to gallons by dividing by 7.4.) Although these categories include products
other than biodiesel (such as biodiesel coprocessed with
petroleum feedstocks; and products destined for soaps,
cosmetics, and other items), biodiesel is the largest

component. In the absence of other reliable data for


biodiesel trade, EIA sees these data as good substitutes.
2012 and 2013: EIA, PSA, annual reports, Tables 25 and
31, data for biomass-based diesel fuel.
2014 and 2015: EIA, PSM, monthly reports, Tables 37 and
49, data for biomass-based diesel fuel.

Biodiesel Stocks and Stock Change


2009 forward: EIA, biodiesel data from EIA-22M,
Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey; and biomass-based
diesel fuel data from EIA-810, Monthly Refinery Report,
EIA-812, Monthly Product Pipeline Report, and EIA-815,
Monthly Bulk Terminal and Blender Report.

Biodiesel Consumption
20012008: Calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net imports.
January and February 2009: EIA, PSA, Table 1, data for
refinery and blender net inputs of renewable fuels except
fuel ethanol.
March 2009 forward: Calculated as biodiesel production
plus biodiesel net imports minus biodiesel stock change.

Other Renewable Fuels


2009 forward: Imports data for Other Renewable Diesel
Fuel are from EIA, PSA Table 25 and PSM Table 37 (data
are converted to Btu by multiplying by the other renewable
diesel fuel heat content factor in Table A1). Imports data
for Other Renewable Fuels are from EIA, PSA Table 25
and PSM Table 37 (data are converted to Btu by multiplying
by the biodiesel heat content factor in Table A1). Stock
change data for Other Renewable Diesel Fuel are from
EIA, EIA-810, Monthly Refinery Report, EIA-812,
Monthly Product Pipeline Report, and EIA-815, Monthly
Bulk Terminal and Blender Report (data are converted to
Btu by multiplying by the other renewable diesel heat
content factor in Table A1). Other Renewable Fuels in
Table 10.4 is calculated as other renewable diesel fuel
imports plus other renewable fuels imports minus other
renewable diesel fuel stock change.

Ecuador

a Except for the period from August 1990 through May 1991, includes about
one-half of the production in the Kuwait-Saudi Arabia Neutral Zone. Kuwaiti Neutral
Zone output was discontinued following Iraqs invasion of Kuwait on August 2,
1990, but was resumed in June 1991. In October 2015, Neutral Zone production by
both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia totaled about 20 thousand barrels per day. Data for
Saudi Arabia include approximately 150 thousand barrels per day from the Abu
Safah field produced on behalf of Bahrain.
b See Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in Glossary.
On Tables 11.1a and 11.1b, countries are classified as "OPEC" or "Non-OPEC" in
all years based on their status in the most current year. For example, Ecuador
rejoined OPEC in 2007, and is thus included in "Total OPEC" for all years; and

a See "Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)" in Glossary.


On Tables 11.1a and 11.1b, countries are classified as "OPEC" or "Non-OPEC" in
all years based on their status in the most current year. For example, Ecuador
rejoined OPEC in 2007, and is thus included in "Total OPEC" for all years; and
Indonesia left OPEC at the end of 2008, and is thus included in "Total Non-OPEC"
for all years.
b Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and
the Neutral Zone (between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia).
R=Revised. NA=Not available. =Not applicable. E=Estimate.

Notes: Data are for crude oil and lease condensate; they exclude natural gas
plant liquids. Monthly data are often preliminary figures and may not average to
the annual totals because of rounding or because updates to the preliminary
monthly data are not available. Data for countries may not sum to World totals
due to independent rounding. U.S. geographic coverage is the 50 states and the
District of Columbia.

NA=Not available.
Notes: Stocks are at end of period. Petroleum stocks include crude oil

(including strategic reserves), unfinished oils, natural gas plant liquids, and refined
products. In the United States in January 1975, 1981, and 1983, numerous
respondents were added to bulk terminal and pipeline surveys, thereby affecting
subsequent stocks reported. New-basis end-of-year U.S. stocks, in million barrels,
would have been 1,121 in 1974, 1,425 in 1980, and 1,461 in 1982. Totals may
not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. U.S. geographic
coverage is the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Environment
Note 1. Emissions of Carbon Dioxide and Other Greenhouse Gases. Greenhouse gases are those gasessuch as
water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide,
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and
sulfur hexafluoridethat are transparent to solar (shortwave) radiation but opaque to long-wave (infrared) radiation,
thus preventing long-wave radiant energy from leaving
Earth's atmosphere. The net effect is a trapping of absorbed
radiation and a tendency to warm the planet's surface.
Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions account for about
98% of U.S. CO2 emissions. The vast majority of CO2
emissions come from fossil fuel combustion, with smaller
amounts from the nonfuel use of fossil fuels, as well as from
electricity generation using geothermal energy and nonbiomass waste. Other sources of CO2 emissions include
industrial processes, such as cement and limestone production. Data in the U.S. Energy Information Administrations
(EIA) Monthly Energy Review (MER) Tables 12.112.6 are
estimates for U.S. CO2 emissions from energy consumption,
including the nonfuel use of fossil fuels (excluded are estimates for CO2 emissions from biomass energy consumption,
which appear in MER Table 12.7).
For annual U.S. estimates for emissions of CO2 from all
sources, as well as for emissions of other greenhouse gases,
see EIAs Emissions of Greenhouse Gases Report at
http://www.eia.gov/environment/emissions/ghg_report/.

emissions from the combustion of biomass to produce
energy are excluded from the energy-related CO2 emissions
reported in MER Tables 12.112.6, but appear in MER
Table 12.7. According to current international convention
(see the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes
2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories), carbon released through biomass combustion is
excluded from reported energy-related emissions. The
release of carbon from biomass combustion is assumed to be
balanced by the uptake of carbon when the feedstock is grown,
resulting in zero net emissions over some period of time. (This
is not to say that biomass energy is carbon-neutral. Energy
inputs are required in order to grow, fertilize, and harvest the
feedstock and to produce and process the biomass into fuels.)
However, analysts have debated whether increased use of
biomass energy may result in a decline in terrestrial carbon
stocks, leading to a net positive release of carbon rather than
the zero net release assumed by its exclusion from reported
energy-related emissions. For example, the clearing of
forests for biofuel crops could result in an initial release of
carbon that is not fully recaptured in subsequent use of the
land for agriculture.
To reflect the potential net emissions, the international
convention for greenhouse gas inventories is to report

biomass emissions in the category agriculture, forestry, and


other land use, usually based on estimates of net changes in
carbon stocks over time.
This indirect accounting of CO2 emissions from biomass can
potentially lead to confusion in accounting for and understanding the flow of CO2 emissions within energy and nonenergy systems. In recognition of this issue, reporting of
CO2 emissions from biomass combustion alongside other
energy-related CO2 emissions offers an alternative accounting treatment. It is important, however, to avoid misinterpreting emissions from fossil energy and biomass energy
sources as necessarily additive. Instead, the combined total
of direct CO2 emissions from biomass and energy-related
CO2 emissions implicitly assumes that none of the carbon
emitted was previously or subsequently reabsorbed in terrestrial sinks or that other emissions sources offset any such
sequestration.

Section 12 Methodology and Sources


To estimate carbon dioxide emissions from energy consumption for the Monthly Energy Review (MER), Tables 12.112.7,
the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) uses the
following methodology and sources:
Step 1. Determine Fuel Consumption
CoalCoal sectoral (residential, commercial, coke plants,
other industrial, transportation, electric power) consumption
data in thousand short tons are from MER Table 6.2. Coal
sectoral consumption data are converted to trillion Btu by
multiplying by the coal heat content factors in MER Table
A5.
Coal Coke Net ImportsCoal coke net imports data in trillion Btu are derived from coal coke imports and exports data
in MER Tables 1.4a and 1.4b.
Natural Gas (excluding supplemental gaseous fuels)Natural gas sectoral consumption data in trillion Btu are from
MER Tables 2.22.6.
PetroleumTotal and sectoral consumption (product
supplied) data in thousand barrels per day for asphalt and
road oil, aviation gasoline, distillate fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), lubricants, motor
gasoline, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil are from
MER Tables 3.5 and 3.7a3.7c. For the component products of LPG (ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal
butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene) and other
petroleum (aviation gasoline blending components, crude
oil, motor gasoline blending components, naphthas for
petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical
feedstock use, pentanes plus, special naphthas, still gas,
unfinished oils, waxes, and miscellaneous petroleum products), consumption (product supplied) data in thousand
barrels per day are from EIAs Petroleum Supply Annual
(PSA), Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), and earlier

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

183

publications (see sources for MER Table 3.5). Petroleum


consumption data by product are converted to trillion Btu by
multiplying by the petroleum heat content factors in MER
Tables A1 and A3.
BiomassSectoral consumption data in trillion Btu for
wood, biomass waste, fuel ethanol (minus denaturant), and
biodiesel are from MER Tables 10.2a10.2c.
Step 2. Remove Biofuels From Petroleum
Distillate Fuel OilBeginning in 2009, the distillate fuel
oil data (for total and transportation sector) in Step 1
include biodiesel, a non-fossil renewable fuel. To remove
the biodiesel portion from distillate fuel oil, data in thousand barrels per day for refinery and blender net inputs of
renewable diesel fuel (from the PSA/PSM) are converted
to trillion Btu by multiplying by the biodiesel heat content
factor in MER Table A1, and then subtracted from the
distillate fuel oil consumption values.
Motor GasolineBeginning in 1993, the motor gasoline
data (for total, commercial sector, industrial sector, and
transportation sector) in Step 1 include fuel ethanol, a nonfossil renewable fuel. To remove the fuel ethanol portion
from motor gasoline, data in trillion Btu for fuel ethanol
consumption (from MER Tables 10.2a, 10.2b, and 10.3)
are subtracted from the motor gasoline consumption
values. (Note that about 2% of fuel ethanol is fossil-based
petroleum denaturant, to make the fuel ethanol
undrinkable. For 19932008, petroleum denaturant is
double counted in the PSA product supplied statistics, in
both the original product categorye.g., pentanes
plusand also in the finished motor gasoline category; for
this time period for MER Section 12, petroleum denaturant
is removed along with the fuel ethanol from motor gasoline, but left in the original product. Beginning in 2009,
petroleum denaturant is counted only in the PSA/PSM
product supplied statistics for motor gasoline; for this time
period for MER Section 12, petroleum denaturant is left in
motor gasoline.)
Step 3. Remove Carbon Sequestered by Nonfuel Use
The following fuels have industrial nonfuel uses as chemical feedstocks and other products: coal, natural gas, asphalt
and road oil, distillate fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gases
(ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene), lubricants (which have
industrial and transportation nonfuel uses), naphthas for
petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical
feedstock use, pentanes plus, petroleum coke, residual fuel
oil, special naphthas, still gas, waxes, and miscellaneous
petroleum products. In the nonfuel use of these fuels, some
of the carbon is sequestered, and is thus subtracted from the
fuel consumption values in Steps 1 and 2.
Estimates of annual nonfuel use and associated carbon
sequestration are developed by EIA using the methodology
184

detailed in Documentation for Emissions of Greenhouse


Gases
in
the
United
States
2008
at
http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/documentation/pdf/0638(2008).pdf.

To obtain monthly estimates of nonfuel use and associated


carbon sequestration, monthly patterns for industrial
consumption and product supplied data series are used. For
coal nonfuel use, the monthly pattern for coke plants coal
consumption from MER Table 6.2 is used. For natural gas,
the monthly pattern for other industrial non-CHP natural gas
consumption from MER Table 4.3 is used. For distillate
fuel oil, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil, the monthly
patterns for industrial consumption from MER Table 3.7b
are used. For the other petroleum products, the monthly
patterns for product supplied from the PSA and PSM are
used.
Step 4. Determine Carbon Dioxide Emissions From
Energy Consumption
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions data in million metric tons
are calculated by multiplying consumption values in trillion
Btu from Steps 1 and 2 (minus the carbon sequestered in
nonfuel use in Step 3) by the CO2 emissions factors at
http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/excel/CO2_coeffs_09_v2.xls.
Beginning in 2010, the 2009 factors are used.
CoalCO2 emissions for coal are calculated for each sector
(residential, commercial, coke plants, other industrial, transportation, electric power). Total coal emissions are the sum
of the sectoral coal emissions.
Coal Coke Net ImportsCO2 emissions for coal coke net
imports are calculated.
Natural GasCO2 emissions for natural gas are calculated
for each sector (residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, electric power). Total natural gas emissions are the
sum of the sectoral natural gas emissions.
PetroleumCO2 emissions are calculated for each petroleum
product. Total petroleum emissions are the sum of the product
emissions. Total LPG emissions are the sum of the emissions
for the component products (ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, and isobutane/isobutylene); residential, commercial, and transportation sector LPG emissions
are estimated by multiplying consumption values in trillion
Btu from MER Tables 3.8a and 3.8c by the propane emissions factor; industrial sector LPG emissions are estimated as
total LPG emissions minus emissions by the other sectors.
Geothermal and Non-Biomass WasteAnnual CO2 emissions data for geothermal and non-biomass waste are EIA
estimates based on Form EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report (and predecessor forms). Monthly estimates
are created by dividing the annual data by the number of
days in the year and then multiplying by the number of
days in the month. (Annual estimates for the current year
are set equal to those of the previous year.)

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

BiomassCO2 emissions for wood, biomass waste, fuel


ethanol (minus denaturant), and biodiesel are calculated for
each sector. Total emissions for each biomass fuel are the
sum of the sectoral emissions. The following factors, in
million metric tons CO2 per quadrillion Btu, are used: wood
93.80; biomass waste90.70; fuel ethanol68.44; and
biodiesel73.84. For 19731988, the biomass portion

of waste in MER Tables 10.2a10.2c is estimated as


67%; for 19892000, the biomass portion of waste is estimated as 67% in 1989 to 58% in 2000, based on the
biogenic shares of total municipal solid waste shown in
EIAs Methodology for Allocating Municipal Solid Waste
to Biogenic and Non-Biogenic Energy, Table 1 at

Appendix A
British Thermal Unit Conversion Factors
The thermal conversion factors presented in the following
tables can be used to estimate the heat content in British
thermal units (Btu) of a given amount of energy measured
in physical units, such as barrels or cubic feet. For
example, 10 barrels of asphalt has a heat content of
approximately 66.36 million Btu (10 barrels x 6.636 million
Btu per barrel = 66.36 million Btu).
The heat content rates (i.e., thermal conversion factors)
provided in this section represent the gross (or higher or
upper) energy content of the fuels. Gross heat content rates
are applied in all Btu calculations for the Monthly Energy
Review and are commonly used in energy calculations in
the United States; net (or lower) heat content rates are
typically used in European energy calculations. The difference between the two rates is the amount of energy that is
consumed to vaporize water that is created during the

combustion process. Generally, the difference ranges from


2% to 10%, depending on the specific fuel and its hydrogen
content. Some fuels, such as unseasoned wood, can be
more than 40% different in their gross and net heat content
rates.
See Heat Content and British Thermal Unit
(Btu) in the Glossary for more information.
In general, the annual thermal conversion factors presented
in Tables A2 through A6 are computed from final annual
data or from the best available data and labeled preliminary. Often, the current years factors are labeled
estimate, and are set equal to the previous years values
until data become available to calculate the factors. The
source of each factor is described in the section entitled
Thermal Conversion Factor Source Documentation,
which follows Table A6 in this appendix.

a Petroleum products supplied, including natural gas plant liquids and crude oil burned directly as fuel. Quantity-weighted averages of the petroleum products included in
each category are calculated by using heat content values for individual products shown in Tables A1 and A3.
b Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline.
c Beginning in 2009, includes renewable diesel fuel (including biodiesel) blended into distillate fuel oil.
d Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the
public. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers.
e Electric power sector factors are weighted average heat contents for distillate fuel oil, petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil; they exclude other liquids.
f There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1993 and 1994; beginning in 1994, the single constant factor is replaced by a quantity-weighted factor.
Quantity-weighted averages of the sulfur-content categories of distillate fuel oil are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1. Excludes renewable diesel
fuel (including biodiesel) blended into distillate fuel oil.
g There is a discontinuity in this time series between 1966 and 1967; beginning in 1967, the single constant factor is replaced by a quantity-weighted factor.
Quantity-weighted averages of the major components of liquefied petroleum gases are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.
h Through 1992, excludes oxygenates. Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline; and for 19932006, also includes methyl tertiary butyl
ether (MTBE) and other oxygenates blended into motor gasoline.
i There is a discontinuity in this time series between 2003 and 2004; beginning in 2004, the single constant factor is replaced by a quantity-weighted factor.
Quantity-weighted averages of the two categories of petroleum coke are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.
j Includes denaturant (petroleum added to ethanol to make it undrinkable). Fuel ethanol factors are weighted average heat contents for undenatured ethanol (3.539
million Btu per barrel) and products used as denaturant (pentanes plus, finished motor gasoline, and motor gasoline blending componentssee Tables A1 and A3 for
factors). The factor for 2009 is used as the estimated factor for 19802008.
k Corn input to the production of undenatured ethanol (million Btu corn per barrel undenatured ethanol), used as the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the
production of undenatured ethanol. Observed ethanol yields (gallons undenatured ethanol per bushel of corn) are 2.5 in 1980, 2.666 in 1998, 2.68 in 2002, 2.78 in 2008, and
2.82 in 2012; yields in other years are estimated. Corn is assumed to have a gross heat content of 0.392 million Btu per bushel. Undenatured ethanol is assumed to have a
gross heat content of 3.539 million Btu per barrel.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. E=Estimate. NA=Not available.
Note: The heat content values in this table are for gross heat contents. See "Heat Content" in Glossary.

materials).
b Waste coal (including fine coal, coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry dam, anthracite culm, bituminous gob, and lignite waste) consumed by the electric power and
industrial sectors. Beginning in 1989, waste coal supplied is counted as a supply-side item to balance the same amount of waste coal included in "Consumption."
c Through 2007, used as the thermal conversion factor for coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors. Beginning in 2008, used as the thermal
conversion factor for coal consumption by the commercial sector only.
d Includes transportation. Excludes coal synfuel plants.
e Electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the
public. Through 1988, data are for electric utilities only; beginning in 1989, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers.

electricity-only independent power producers.


c Includes anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, and, beginning in 2002, waste coal and coal synfuel.
d Includes distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke, and waste oil.
e Includes natural gas and supplemental gaseous fuels.
f Includes coal, petroleum, natural gas, and, beginning in 2001, other gases (blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil
fuels).
g The fossil-fuels heat rate is used as the thermal conversion factor for electricity net generation from noncombustible renewable energy (hydro, geothermal, solar
thermal, photovoltaic, and wind) to approximate the quantity of fossil fuels replaced by these sources. Through 2000, also used as the thermal conversion factor for wood
and waste electricity net generation at electric utilities; beginning in 2001, Btu data for wood and waste at electric utilities are available from surveys.
h Used as the thermal conversion factor for nuclear electricity net generation.
i Technology-based geothermal heat rates are no longer used in Btu calculations in this report. For technology-based geothermal heat rates for 19602010, see the

Operations Report, and predecessor forms. The computation includes data for all electric utilities and electricityonly independent power producers using anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, lignite, and beginning in
2002, waste coal and coal synfuel.
Electricity Net Generation, Natural Gas.
2001
forward: Calculated annually by EIA by using fuel
consumption and net generation data reported on Form
EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report, and predecessor forms. The computation includes data for all electric
utilities and electricity-only independent power producers
using natural gas and supplemental gaseous fuels.
Electricity Net Generation, Noncombustible Renewable
Energy. There is no generally accepted practice for
measuring the thermal conversion rates for power plants
that generate electricity from hydro, geothermal, solar
thermal, photovoltaic, and wind energy sources. Therefore,
EIA calculates a rate factor that is equal to the annual
average heat rate factor for fossil-fueled power plants in the

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

United States (see Electricity Net Generation, Total Fossil


Fuels). By using that factor it is possible to evaluate fossil
fuel requirements for replacing those sources during
periods of interruption, such as droughts.
Electricity Net Generation, Nuclear. 19571984:
Calculated annually by dividing the total heat content
consumed in nuclear generating units by the total (net)
electricity generated by nuclear generating units. The heat
content and electricity generation were reported on Form
FERC-1, Annual Report of Major Electric Utilities, Licensees, and Others; Form EIA-412, Annual Report of Public
Electric Utilities; and predecessor forms. For 1982, the
factors were published in EIA, Historical Plant Cost and
Annual Production Expenses for Selected Electric Plants
1982, page 215. For 1983 and 1984, the factors were
published in EIA, Electric Plant Cost and Power Production
Expenses 1991, Table 13. 1985 forward: Calculated
annually by EIA by using the heat rate data reported on
Form EIA-860, Annual Electric Generator Report, and
predecessor forms.
Electricity Net Generation, Petroleum. 2001 forward:
Calculated annually by EIA by using fuel consumption and
net generation data reported on Form EIA-923, Power
Plant Operations Report, and predecessor forms. The
computation includes data for all electric utilities and
electricity-only independent power producers using distillate

fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, petroleum coke,
and waste oil.
Electricity Net Generation, Total Fossil Fuels.

using heat rate data reported on Form EIA-860, Annual
Electric Generator Report, and predecessor forms; and net
generation data reported on Form EIA-759, Monthly
Power Plant Report. The computation includes data for all
electric utility steam-electric plants using fossil fuels.
2001 forward: Calculated annually by EIA by using fuel
consumption and net generation data reported on Form
EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report, and predecessor
forms. The computation includes data for all electric utilities
and electricity-only independent power producers using
coal, petroleum, natural gas, and other gases (blast furnace

Appendix B
Metric Conversion Factors, Metric Prefixes, and Other Physical
Conversion Factors
Data presented in the Monthly Energy Review and in other
U.S. Energy Information Administration publications are
expressed predominately in units that historically have been used
in the United States, such as British thermal units, barrels, cubic
feet, and short tons. The metric conversion factors presented in
Table B1 can be used to calculate the metric-unit equivalents of
values expressed in U.S. Customary units. For example, 500
short tons are the equivalent of 453.6 metric tons (500 short tons
x 0.9071847 metric tons/short ton = 453.6 metric tons).
In the metric system of weights and measures, the names
of multiples and subdivisions of any unit may be derived

by combining the name of the unit with prefixes, such as


deka, hecto, and kilo, meaning, respectively, 10, 100,
1,000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively,
one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth. Common
metric prefixes can be found in Table B2.

The conversion factors presented in Table B3 can be used to


calculate equivalents in various physical units commonly
used in energy analyses. For example, 10 barrels are the
equivalent of 420 U.S. gallons (10 barrels x 42
gallons/barrel = 420 gallons).

This source estimates fuelwood consumption in cords per decade, which were
converted to Btu using the conversion factor of 20 million Btu per cord. The annual
average value for each decade was assigned to the fifth year of the decade on the
assumption that annual use was likely to increase during any given decade and the
average annual value was more likely to reflect mid-decade yearly consumption
than use at either the beginning or end of the decade. Values thus begin in 1635
and are plotted at 10-year intervals. 18501945Energy in the American

Note. Geographic Coverage of Statistics for 16351945.


Table D1 presents estimates of U.S. energy consumption by
energy source for a period that begins a century and a half
before the original 13 colonies formed a political union and
continues through the decades during which the United
States was still expanding territorially. The question thus
arises, what exactly is meant by U.S. consumption of an
energy source for those years when the United States did not
formally exist or consisted of less territory than is now
encompassed by the 50 states and the District of Columbia?
The documents used to assemble the estimates, and (as far as
possible) the sources of those documents, were reviewed
carefully for clues to geographic coverage. For most energy
sources, the extent of coverage expanded more rapidly than
the nation, defined as all the official states and the District of
Columbia. Estimates or measurements of consumption of
each energy source generally appear to follow settlement
patterns. That is, they were made for areas of the continent
that were settled enough to have economically significant
consumption even though those areas were not to become
states for years. The wood data series, for example, begins in
1635 and includes 12 of the original colonies (excepting
Georgia), as well as Maine, Vermont, and the area that
would become the District of Columbia. By the time the

208

series reaches 1810, the rest of the continental states are all
included, although the last of the 48 states to achieve statehood did not do so until 1912. Likewise, the coal data series
begins in 1850 but includes consumption in areas, such as
Utah and Washington (state), which were significant coal
producing regions but had not yet attained statehood. (Note:
No data were available on state-level historical coal
consumption. The coal data shown in Table D1 through
1945 describe apparent consumption, i.e., production plus
imports minus exports. The geographic coverage for coal
was therefore based on a tally of coal-producing states listed
in various historical issues of Minerals Yearbook. It is likely
that coal was consumed in states where it was not mined in
significant quantities.)
By energy source, the extent of coverage can be summarized as
follows: Coal35 coal-producing states by 1885. Natural
GasAll 48 contiguous states, the District of Columbia, and
Alaska by 1885. PetroleumAll 48 contiguous states, the
District of Columbia, and Alaska by 1885. Conventional

uncertain, but probably the 48 contiguous states and the
District of Columbia. Coverage for 19001945 is the 48
contiguous states, and the District of Columbia. WoodAll
48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia by 1810.

Glossary
Alcohol: The family name of a group of organic chemical
compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
The series of molecules vary in chain length and are
composed of a hydrocarbon plus a hydroxyl group;
CH(3)-(CH(2))n-OH (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and tertiary
butyl alcohol). See Fuel Ethanol.
Alternative Fuel: Alternative fuels, for transportation
applications, include the following: methanol; denatured
ethanol, and other alcohols; fuel mixtures containing 85
percent or more by volume of methanol, denatured ethanol,
and other alcohols with motor gasoline or other fuels;
natural gas; liquefied petroleum gas (propane); hydrogen; coal-derived liquid fuels; fuels (other than alcohol)
derived from biological materials (biofuels such as soy
diesel fuel); electricity (including electricity from solar
energy); and "... any other fuel the Secretary determines,
by rule, is substantially not petroleum and would yield
substantial energy security benefits and substantial environmental benefits." The term "alternative fuel" does not
include alcohol or other blended portions of primarily
petroleum-based fuels used as oxygenates or extenders,
i.e., MTBE, ETBE, other ethers, and the 10-percent ethanol
portion of gasohol.
Alternative-Fuel Vehicle (AFV): A vehicle designed to
operate on an alternative fuel (e.g., compressed natural
gas, methane blend, or electricity). The vehicle could be
either a dedicated vehicle designed to operate exclusively
on alternative fuel or a nondedicated vehicle designed to
operate on alternative fuel and/or a traditional fuel.
Anthracite: The highest rank of coal; used primarily for
residential and commercial space heating. It is a hard, brittle, and black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal,
containing a high percentage of fixed carbon and a low
percentage of volatile matter. The moisture content of
fresh-mined anthracite generally is less than 15 percent.
The heat content of anthracite ranges from 22 to 28
million Btu per short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free
basis. The heat content of anthracite coal consumed in the
United States averages 25 million Btu per short ton, on the
as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture
and mineral matter). Note: Since the 1980's, anthracite
refuse or mine waste has been used for steam-electric
power generation. This fuel typically has a heat content of
15 million Btu per ton or less.
Anthropogenic: Made or generated by a human or caused
by human activity. The term is used in the context of global
climate change to refer to gaseous emissions that are the
result of human activities, as well as other potentially
climate-altering activities, such as deforestation.

Asphalt: A dark brown-to-black cement-like material


obtained by petroleum processing and containing bitumens
as the predominant component; used primarily for road
construction. It includes crude asphalt as well as the following finished products: cements, fluxes, the asphalt content
of emulsions (exclusive of water), and petroleum distillates
blended with asphalt to make cutback asphalts. Note: The
conversion factor for asphalt is 5.5 barrels per short ton.
ASTM: The American Society for Testing and Materials.
Aviation Gasoline Blending Components: Naphthas that
will be used for blending or compounding into finished aviation gasoline (e.g., straight run gasoline, alkylate, reformate,
benzene, toluene, and xylene). Excludes oxygenates (alcohols, ethers), butane, and pentanes plus. Oxygenates are
reported as other hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and oxygenates.
See Aviation Gasoline, Finished.
Aviation Gasoline, Finished: A complex mixture of relatively volatile hydrocarbons with or without small quantities of additives, blended to form a fuel suitable for use in
aviation reciprocating engines. Fuel specifications are
provided in ASTM Specification D 910 and Military
Specification MIL-G-5572.
Note: Data on blending
components are not counted in data on finished aviation
gasoline.
Barrel (Petroleum): A unit of volume equal to 42 U.S.
Gallons.
Base Gas: The quantity of natural gas needed to maintain
adequate reservoir pressures and deliverability rates throughout the withdrawal season. Base gas usually is not withdrawn and remains in the reservoir. All natural gas native to
a depleted reservoir is included in the base gas volume.
Biodiesel: A fuel typically made from soybean, canola, or
other vegetable oils; animal fats; and recycled grease. It
can serve as a substitute for petroleum-derived diesel fuel
or distillate fuel oil. For U.S. Energy Information Administration reporting, it is a fuel composed of mono-alkyl
esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or
animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of
ASTM (American Society for Testing & Materials) D 6751.
Biofuels: Liquid fuels and blending components produced
from biomass (plant) feedstocks, used primarily for transportation. See Biodiesel and Fuel Ethanol.
Biogenic: Produced by biological processes of living organisms. Note: EIA uses the term biogenic to refer only to
organic nonfossil material of biological origin.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

209

Biomass: Organic non-fossil material of biological origin


constituting a renewable energy source. See Biodiesel,
Biofuels, Biomass Waste, Fuel Ethanol, and Wood and
Wood-Derived Fuels.
Biomass-Based Diesel Fuel: Biodiesel and other renewable diesel fuel or diesel fuel blending components derived
from biomass, but excluding renewable diesel fuel coprocessed with petroleum feedstocks. See Renewable Diesel
Fuel (Other).
Biomass Waste: Organic non-fossil material of biological origin that is a byproduct or a discarded product.
Biomass waste includes municipal solid waste from
biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural
crop byproducts, straw, and other biomass solids, liquids,
and gases; but excludes wood and wood-derived fuels
(including black liquor), biofuels feedstock, biodiesel,
and fuel ethanol. Note: EIA biomass waste data also
include energy crops grown specifically for energy production, which would not normally constitute waste.
Bituminous Coal: A dense coal, usually black, sometimes dark brown, often with well-defined bands of
bright and dull material, used primarily as fuel in steamelectric power generation, with substantial quantities
also used for heat and power applications in manufacturing and to make coke. Bituminous coal is the most abundant coal in active U.S. mining regions. Its moisture
content usually is less than 20 percent. The heat content
of bituminous coal ranges from 21 to 30 million Btu per
short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat
content of bituminous coal consumed in the United
States averages 24 million Btu per short ton, on the
as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture
and mineral matter).
Black Liquor: A byproduct of the paper production process, alkaline spent liquor, that can be used as a source of
energy. Alkaline spent liquor is removed from the digesters in the process of chemically pulping wood. After
evaporation, the residual "black" liquor is burned as a fuel
in a recovery furnace that permits the recovery of certain
basic chemicals.
British Thermal Unit (Btu): The quantity of heat
required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of liquid
water by 1 degree Fahrenheit at the temperature at which
water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees
Fahrenheit). See Heat Content.
Btu: See British Thermal Unit.
Btu Conversion Factor: A factor for converting
energy data between one unit of measurement and British thermal units (Btu). Btu conversion factors are
generally used to convert energy data from physical
units of measure (such as barrels, cubic feet, or short
tons) into the energy-equivalent measure of Btu. (See
210

http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#appendices
for further information on Btu conversion factors.)
Butane (C4H10): A straight-chain or branch-chain hydrocarbon extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams,
which is gaseous at standard temperature and pressure. It
includes isobutane and normal butane and is designated in
ASTM Specification D1835 and Gas Processors Association
specifications for commercial butane.
Isobutane (C4H10): A branch-chain saturated (paraffinic)
hydrocarbon extracted from both natural gas and refinery
gas streams, which is gaseous at standard temperature and
pressure. It is a colorless gas that boils at a temperature of
11 degrees Fahrenheit. See Paraffinic Hydrocarbons.
Normal Butane (C4H10): A straight-chain saturated (paraffinic) hydrocarbon extracted from both natural gas and
refinery gas streams, which is gaseous at standard temperature and pressure. It is a colorless gas that boils at a
temperature of 31 degrees Fahrenheit. See Paraffinic
Hydrocarbons.
Butylene (C4H8): An olefinic hydrocarbon recovered from
refinery or petrochemical processes, which is gaseous at
standard temperature and pressure. Butylene is used in the
production of gasoline and various petrochemical products.
See Olefinic Hydrocarbons (Olefins).
Capacity Factor: The ratio of the electrical energy
produced by a generating unit for a given period of time
to the electrical energy that could have been produced at
continuous full-power operation during the same period.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): A colorless, odorless, nonpoisonous gas that is a normal part of Earth's atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is a product of fossil-fuel combustion as well
as other processes. It is considered a greenhouse gas as it
traps heat (infrared energy) radiated by the Earth into the
atmosphere and thereby contributes to the potential for global
warming. The global warming potential (GWP) of other
greenhouse gases is measured in relation to that of carbon
dioxide, which by international scientific convention is
assigned a value of one (1).
Chained Dollars: A measure used to express real prices.
Real prices are those that have been adjusted to remove the
effect of changes in the purchasing power of the dollar; they
usually reflect buying power relative to a reference year.
Prior to 1996, real prices were expressed in constant
dollars, a measure based on the weights of goods and services in a single year, usually a recent year. In 1996, the
U.S. Department of Commerce introduced the chaineddollar measure. The new measure is based on the average
weights of goods and services in successive pairs of years.
It is chained because the second year in each pair, with
its weights, becomes the first year of the next pair. The
advantage of using the chained-dollar measure is that it is

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

more closely related to any given period and is therefore


subject to less distortion over time.
CIF: See Cost, Insurance, Freight.
Citygate: A point or measuring station at which a distribution gas utility receives gas from a natural gas pipeline
company or transmission system.
Climate Change: A term used to refer to all forms of
climatic inconsistency, but especially to significant change
from one prevailing climatic condition to another. In some
cases, "climate change" has been used synonymously with
the term "global warming"; scientists, however, tend to
use the term in a wider sense inclusive of natural changes in
climate, including climatic cooling.
Coal: A readily combustible black or brownish-black rock
whose composition, including inherent moisture, consists
of more than 50 percent by weight and more than 70
percent by volume of carbonaceous material. It is formed
from plant remains that have been compacted, hardened,
chemically altered, and metamorphosed by heat and pressure over geologic time. See Anthracite, Bituminous
Coal, Lignite, Subbituminous Coal, Waste Coal, and
Coal Synfuel.
Coal Coke: A solid carbonaceous residue derived from
low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal from which the volatile
constituents are driven off by baking in an oven at temperatures as high as 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit so that the fixed
carbon and residual ash are fused together. Coke is used as a
fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast
furnace. Coke from coal is grey, hard, and porous and has a
heating value of 24.8 million Btu per ton.
Coal Stocks: Coal quantities that are held in storage for
future use and disposition. Note: When coal data are collected
for a particular reporting period (month, quarter, or year), coal
stocks are commonly measured as of the last day of the period.
Coal Synfuel: Coal-based solid fuel that has been processed by a coal synfuel plant; and coal-based fuels such as
briquettes, pellets, or extrusions, which are formed from
fresh or recycled coal and binding materials.
Coal Synfuel Plant: A plant engaged in the chemical transformation of coal into coal synfuel.
Coke: See Coal Coke and Petroleum Coke.
Coking Coal: Bituminous coal suitable for making coke.
See Coal Coke.
Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) Plant: A plant
designed to produce both heat and electricity from a single
heat source. Note: This term is being used in place of the
term "cogenerator" that was used by EIA in the past. CHP
better describes the facilities because some of the plants

included do not produce heat and power in a sequential


fashion and, as a result, do not meet the legal definition of
cogeneration specified in the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act (PURPA).
Commercial Sector: An energy-consuming sector that
consists of service-providing facilities and equipment of:
businesses; federal, state, and local governments; and
other private and public organizations, such as religious,
social, or fraternal groups. The commercial sector includes
institutional living quarters. It also includes sewage treatment facilities. Common uses of energy associated with
this sector include space heating, water heating, air conditioning, lighting, refrigeration, cooking, and running a wide
variety of other equipment. Note: This sector includes
generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal
output primarily to support the activities of the abovementioned commercial establishments.
See End-Use
Sectors and Energy-Use Sectors.
Completion: The installation of permanent equipment for
the production of oil or gas. If a well is equipped to
produce only oil or gas from one zone or reservoir, the
definition of a well (classified as an oil well or gas well)
and the definition of a completion are identical. However,
if a well is equipped to produce oil and/or gas separately
from more than one reservoir, a well is not synonymous
with a completion.
Conventional Hydroelectric Power: Hydroelectric power
generated from flowing water that is not created by hydroelectric pumped storage.
Conventional Motor Gasoline:
Conventional.

See Motor Gasoline

Conversion Factor: A factor for converting data


between one unit of measurement and another (such as
between short tons and British thermal units, or
between
barrels
and
gallons).
(See
http://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/#appendices
for further information on conversion factors.) See
Btu Conversion Factor and Thermal Conversion Factor.
Cost, Insurance, Freight (CIF): A sales transaction in
which the seller pays for the transportation and insurance of
the goods to the port of destination specified by the buyer.
Crude Oil: A mixture of hydrocarbons that exists in liquid
phase in natural underground reservoirs and remains liquid
at atmospheric pressure after passing through surface
separating facilities. Depending upon the characteristics of
the crude stream, it may also include: 1) small amounts of
hydrocarbons that exist in gaseous phase in natural underground reservoirs but are liquid at atmospheric pressure
after being recovered from oil well (casinghead) gas in
lease separators and are subsequently commingled with
the crude stream without being separately measured. Lease
condensate recovered as a liquid from natural gas wells in

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

211

lease or field separation facilities and later mixed into the


crude stream is also included; 2) small amounts of
nonhydrocarbons produced with the oil, such as sulfur
and various metals; and 3) drip gases, and liquid hydrocarbons produced from tar sands, oil sands, gilsonite, and
oil shale. Liquids produced at natural gas processing
plants are excluded. Crude oil is refined to produce a
wide array of petroleum products, including heating oils;
gasoline, diesel and jet fuels; lubricants; asphalt; ethane,
propane, and butane; and many other products used for
their energy or chemical content.
Crude Oil F.O.B. Price: The crude oil price actually
charged at the oil-producing countrys port of loading.
Includes deductions for any rebates and discounts or additions of premiums, where applicable. It is the actual price
paid with no adjustment for credit terms.
Crude Oil (Including Lease Condensate): A mixture of
hydrocarbons that exists in liquid phase in underground
reservoirs and remains liquid at atmospheric pressure
after passing through surface separating facilities.
Included are lease condensate and liquid hydrocarbons
produced from tar sands, gilsonite, and oil shale. Drip
gases are also included, but topped crude oil (residual oil)
and other unfinished oils are excluded. Where
identifiable, liquids produced at natural gas processing
plants and mixed with crude oil are likewise excluded.
Crude Oil Landed Cost: The price of crude oil at the port
of discharge, including charges associated with the
purchase, transporting, and insuring of a cargo from the
purchase point to the port of discharge. The cost does not
include charges incurred at the discharge port (e.g., import
tariffs or fees, wharfage charges, and demurrage).
Crude Oil Refinery Input: The total crude oil put into
processing units at refineries.
Crude Oil Stocks: Stocks of crude oil and lease condensate held at refineries, in pipelines, at pipeline terminals,
and on leases.
Crude Oil Used Directly: Crude oil consumed as fuel by
crude oil pipelines and on crude oil leases.
Crude Oil Well: A well completed for the production of
crude oil from one or more oil zones or reservoirs. Wells
producing both crude oil and natural gas are classified as
oil wells.

may be simple degree-day normals or populationweighted degree-day normals.


Degree-Days, Cooling (CDD): A measure of how warm
a location is over a period of time relative to a base
temperature, most commonly specified as 65 degrees
Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by
subtracting the base temperature (65 degrees) from the
average of the days high and low temperatures, with
negative values set equal to zero. Each days cooling
degree-days are summed to create a cooling degree-day
measure for a specified reference period. Cooling
degree-days are used in energy analysis as an indicator of
air conditioning energy requirements or use.
Degree-Days, Heating (HDD): A measure of how cold a
location is over a period of time relative to a base
temperature, most commonly specified as 65 degrees
Fahrenheit. The measure is computed for each day by
subtracting the average of the days high and low
temperatures from the base temperature (65 degrees),
with negative values set equal to zero. Each days heating degree-days are summed to create a heating degreeday measure for a specified reference period. Heating
degree-days are used in energy analysis as an indicator of
space heating energy requirements or use.
Degree-Days, Population-Weighted: Heating or cooling
degree-days weighted by the population of the area in
which the degree-days are recorded. To compute state
population-weighted degree-days, each state is divided
into from one to nine climatically homogeneous divisions, which are assigned weights based on the ratio of
the population of the division to the total population of
the state. Degree-day readings for each division are
multiplied by the corresponding population weight for
each division and those products are then summed to
arrive at the state population-weighted degree-day
figure. To compute national population-weighted
degree-days, the nation is divided into nine Census
regions, each comprising from three to eight states,
which are assigned weights based on the ratio of the
population of the region to the total population of the
nation. Degree-day readings for each region are multiplied by the corresponding population weight for each
region and those products are then summed to arrive at
the national population-weighted degree-day figure.

Cubic Foot (Natural Gas): The amount of natural gas


contained at standard temperature and pressure (60 degrees
Fahrenheit and 14.73 pounds standard per square inch) in a
cube whose edges are one foot long.

Denaturant: Petroleum, typically pentanes plus or


conventional motor gasoline, added to fuel ethanol to
make it unfit for human consumption. Fuel ethanol is denatured, usually prior to transport from the ethanol production
facility, by adding 2 to 5 volume percent denaturant. See
Fuel Ethanol and Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant.

Degree-Day Normals: Simple arithmetic averages of


monthly or annual degree-days over a long period of time
(usually the 30-year period 19611990). The averages

Design Electrical Rating, Net: The nominal net electrical


output of a nuclear unit as specified by the electric utility
for the purpose of plant design.

known to be productive.
Diesel Fuel: A fuel composed of distillate fuel oils
obtained in petroleum refining operation or blends of such
distillate fuel oils with residual fuel oil used in motor vehicles. The boiling point and specific gravity are higher for
diesel fuels than for gasoline.
Direct Use: Use of electricity that 1) is self-generated, 2) is
produced by either the same entity that consumes the power
or an affiliate, and 3) is used in direct support of a service or
industrial process located within the same facility or group
of facilities that house the generating equipment. Direct use
is exclusive of station use.
Distillate Fuel Oil: A general classification for one of the
petroleum fractions produced in conventional distillation
operations. It includes diesel fuels and fuel oils. Products
known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 diesel fuel are used in
on-highway diesel engines, such as those in trucks and
automobiles, as well as off-highway engines, such as those
in railroad locomotives and agricultural machinery. Products known as No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 fuel oils are used
primarily for space heating and electricity generation.
Dry Hole: An exploratory or development well found to be
incapable of producing either oil or gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion as an oil or gas well.
Dry Natural Gas Production: See Natural Gas (Dry)
Production.
E85: A fuel containing a mixture of 85 percent ethanol and
15 percent motor gasoline.
Electric Power Plant: A station containing prime movers,
electric generators, and auxiliary equipment for converting
mechanical, chemical, and/or fission energy into electric energy.
Electric Power Sector: An energy-consuming sector that
consists of electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power
(CHP) plants whose primary business is to sell electricity, or
electricity and heat, to the public-i.e., North American Industry Classification System 22 plants. See also CombinedHeat-and-Power (CHP) Plant, Electricity-Only Plant,
Electric Utility, and Independent Power Producer.
Electric Utility: Any entity that generates, transmits, or
distributes electricity and recovers the cost of its generation, transmission or distribution assets and operations,
either directly or indirectly, through cost-based rates set by
a separate regulatory authority (e.g., State Public Service
Commission), or is owned by a governmental unit or the
consumers that the entity serves. Examples of these entities include: investor-owned entities, public power districts,
public utility districts, municipalities, rural electric

cooperatives, and state and federal agencies. Electric utilities may have Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
approval for interconnection agreements and wholesale
trade tariffs covering either cost-of-service and/or marketbased rates under the authority of the Federal Power Act.
See Electric Power Sector.
Electrical System Energy Losses: The amount of energy
lost during generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, including plant and unaccounted-for uses.
Electricity: A form of energy characterized by the presence
and motion of elementary charged particles generated by
friction, induction, or chemical change.
Electricity Generation: The process of producing electric
energy, or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy, commonly expressed in kilowatthours (kWh) or megawatthours (MWh).
Electricity Generation, Gross: The total amount of electric
energy produced by generating units and measured at the
generating terminal in kilowatthours (kWh) or megawatthours (MWh).
Electricity Generation, Net: The amount of gross electricity generation less station use (the electric energy
consumed at the generating station(s) for station service or
auxiliaries). Note: Electricity required for pumping at hydroelectric pumped-storage plants is regarded as electricity for
station service and is deducted from gross generation.
Electricity-Only Plant: A plant designed to produce electricity only. See also Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) Plant.
Electricity Retail Sales: The amount of electricity sold to
customers purchasing electricity for their own use and not
for resale.
End-Use Sectors: The residential, commercial, industrial,
and transportation sectors of the economy.
Energy: The capacity for doing work as measured by the
capability of doing work (potential energy) or the conversion
of this capability to motion (kinetic energy). Energy has
several forms, some of which are easily convertible and can be
changed to another form useful for work.
Most of the

Energy-Use Sectors: A group of major energy-consuming


components of U.S. society developed to measure and
analyze energy use. The sectors most commonly referred to
in EIA are: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and electric power.
Ethane (C2H6): A straight-chain saturated (paraffinic)
hydrocarbon extracted predominantly from the natural
gas stream, which is gaseous at standard temperature and
pressure. It is a colorless gas that boils at a temperature of
-127 degrees Fahrenheit. See Paraffinic Hydrocarbons.
Ethanol (C2H5OH): A clear, colorless, flammable alcohol.
Ethanol is typically produced biologically from biomass
feedstocks such as agricultural crops and cellulosic residues
from agricultural crops or wood. Ethanol can also be
produced chemically from ethylene. See Biomass, Fuel
Ethanol, and Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant.
Ether: A generic term applied to a group of organic
chemical compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen, characterized by an oxygen atom attached to two
carbon atoms (e.g., methyl tertiary butyl ether).
Ethylene (C2H4): An olefinic hydrocarbon recovered
from refinery or petrochemical processes, which is gaseous
at standard temperature and pressure. Ethylene is used as a
petrochemical feedstock for many chemical applications
and the production of consumer goods. See Olefinic
Hydrocarbons (Olefins).
Exploratory Well: A well drilled to find and produce oil or
gas in an area previously considered an unproductive area, to
find a new reservoir in a known field (i.e., one previously
found to be producing oil or gas in another reservoir), or to
extend the limit of a known oil or gas reservoir.
Exports: Shipments of goods from within the 50 states
and the District of Columbia to U.S. possessions and territories or to foreign countries.
Federal Energy Administration (FEA): A predecessor
of the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC): The
Federal agency with jurisdiction over interstate electricity
sales, wholesale electric rates, hydroelectric licensing,
natural gas pricing, oil pipeline rates, and gas pipeline
certification. FERC is an independent regulatory agency
within the U.S. Department of Energy and is the successor to the Federal Power Commission.
Federal Power Commission (FPC): The predecessor
agency of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The
Federal Power Commission was created by an Act of
Congress under the Federal Water Power Act on June 10,
1920. It was charged originally with regulating the electric power and natural gas industries. It was abolished on
214

September 30, 1977, when the U.S. Department of Energy


was created. Its functions were divided between the U.S.
Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, an independent regulatory agency.
First Purchase Price: The price for domestic crude oil
reported by the company that owns the crude oil the first
time it is removed from the lease boundary.
Flared Natural Gas: Natural gas burned in flares on the
base site or at gas processing plants.
F.O.B. (Free on Board): A sales transaction in which the
seller makes the product available for pick up at a specified
port or terminal at a specified price and the buyer pays for
the subsequent transportation and insurance.
Footage Drilled: Total footage for wells in various categories, as reported for any specified period, includes (1)
the deepest total depth (length of well bores) of all wells
drilled from the surface, (2) the total of all bypassed
footage drilled in connection with reported wells, and
(3) all new footage drilled for directional sidetrack
wells. Footage reported for directional sidetrack wells
does not include footage in the common bore, which is
reported as footage for the original well. In the case of
old wells drilled deeper, the reported footage is that
which was drilled below the total depth of the old well.
Former U.S.S.R.: See Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.).
Fossil Fuel: An energy source formed in the Earths crust
from decayed organic material, such as petroleum, coal,
and natural gas.

generation plant in which the prime mover is a turbine
rotated by high-pressure steam produced in a boiler by heat
from burning fossil fuels.
Fuel Ethanol: Ethanol intended for fuel use. Fuel ethanol
in the United States must be anhydrous (less than 1
percent water). Fuel ethanol is denatured (made unfit for
human consumption), usually prior to transport from the
ethanol production facility, by adding 2 to 5 volume
percent petroleum, typically pentanes plus or conventional motor gasoline. Fuel ethanol is used principally
for blending in low concentrations with motor gasoline
as an oxygenate or octane enhancer. In high concentrations, it is used to fuel alternative-fuel vehicles specially
designed for its use. See Alternative-Fuel Vehicle,
Denaturant, E85, Ethanol, Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant, and Oxygenates.
Fuel Ethanol Minus Denaturant: An unobserved quantity
of anhydrous, biomass-derived, undenatured ethanol for
fuel use. The quantity is obtained by subtracting the estimated denaturant volume from fuel ethanol volume.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Monthly Energy Review January 2016

no completions for the production of crude oil.
Geothermal Energy: Hot water or steam extracted from
geothermal reservoirs in the earths crust and used for geothermal heat pumps, water heating, or electricity generation.

An increase in the near-surface
temperature of the Earth. Global warming has occurred in
the distant past as the result of natural influences, but the
term is today most often used to refer to the warming some
scientists predict will occur as a result of increased anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. See Climate
Change.
Global Warming Potential (GWP): An index used to
compare the relative radiative forcing of different gases
without directly calculating the changes in atmospheric
concentrations. GWPs are calculated as the ratio of the radiative forcing that would result from the emission of one kilogram of a greenhouse gas to that from the emission of one
kilogram of carbon dioxide over a fixed period of time,
such as 100 years.
Greenhouse Gases: Those gases, such as water vapor,
carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride, that are transparent to solar (short-wave) radiation but
opaque to long-wave (infrared) radiation, thus preventing
long-wave radiant energy from leaving Earth's atmosphere.
The net effect is a trapping of absorbed radiation and a
tendency to warm the planet's surface.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP): The total value of goods
and services produced by labor and property located in the
United States. As long as the labor and property are
located in the United States, the supplier (that is, the workers and, for property, the owners) may be either U.S. residents or residents of foreign countries.
GT/IC: Gas turbine and internal combustion plants.

Heat Content: The amount of heat energy available to be


released by the transformation or use of a specified physical
unit of an energy form (e.g., a ton of coal, a barrel of oil,
a kilowatthour of electricity, a cubic foot of natural gas,
or a pound of steam). The amount of heat energy is
commonly expressed in British thermal units (Btu).
Note: Heat content of combustible energy forms can be
expressed in terms of either gross heat content (higher or
upper heating value) or net heat content (lower heating
value), depending upon whether or not the available heat
energy includes or excludes the energy used to vaporize
water (contained in the original energy form or created
during the combustion process). The U.S. Energy Information Administration typically uses gross heat content values.
Heat Rate: A measure of generating station thermal efficiency commonly stated as Btu per kilowatthour. Note:
Heat rates can be expressed as either gross or net heat rates,
depending whether the electricity output is gross or net generation. Heat rates are typically expressed as net heat rates.
Hydrocarbon: An organic chemical compound of hydrogen and carbon in the gaseous, liquid, or solid phase. The
molecular structure of hydrocarbon compounds varies from
the simplest (methane, the primary constituent of natural
gas) to the very heavy and very complex.
Hydrocarbon Gas Liquids (HGL): A group of hydrocarbons including ethane, propane, normal butane,
isobutane, and natural gasoline, and their associated
olefins, including ethylene, propylene, butylene, and
isobutylene. As marketed products, HGL represents all
natural gas liquids (NGL) and olefins. EIA reports
production of HGL from refineries (liquefied refinery
gases, or LRG) and natural gas plants (natural gas plant
liquids, or NGPL). Excludes liquefied natural gas
(LNG). See Olefinic Hydrocarbons (Olefins).
Hydroelectric Power: The production of electricity from
the kinetic energy of falling water.
Hydroelectric Power Plant: A plant in which the turbine
generators are driven by falling water.
Hydroelectric Pumped Storage: Hydroelectricity that is
generated during peak load periods by using water previously pumped into an elevated storage reservoir during
off-peak periods when excess generating capacity is
available to do so. When additional generating capacity
is needed, the water can be released from the reservoir
through a conduit to turbine generators located in a power
plant at a lower level.
Hydrogen (H): The lightest of all gases, hydrogen occurs
chiefly in combination with oxygen in water. It also exists in
acids, bases, alcohols, petroleum, and other hydrocarbons.

process heat and cooling and powering machinery, with
lesser amounts used for facility heating, air conditioning,
and lighting. Fossil fuels are also used as raw material
inputs to manufactured products. Note: This sector includes
