Annual Energy Review 2009

The Annual Energy Review (AER) is the U.S. Energy Information Administration's
(EIA) primary report of annual historical energy statistics. For many series, data
begin with the year 1949. 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 energy; financial
and environment indicators; and data unit conversions.
Publication of this report is required under Public Law 9591 (Department of
Energy Organization Act), Section 205(c), and is in keeping with responsibilities
given to the EIA under Section 205(a)(2), which states:
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 AER 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 AER and other EIA publications.

Important Notes About the Data


Data Displayed: For tables beginning in 1949, some early years (usually
1951-1954, 1956-1959, 1961-1964, and 1966-1969) are not shown on the tables in
the printed report or the Portable Document Format (PDF) files; however, all years
of data are shown in the Excel formats and the HyperText Markup Language
(HTML) files.
Comprehensive Changes: Most AER 2009 tables and figures carry a new
year of data (usually 2009), which are often preliminary and likely to be revised
next year, and revisions to much of the 2008 data, which are now final in many
cases.
Monthly Data: The emphasis of the AER is on long-term trends. Analysts
may wish to use the data in this report in conjunction with EIAs monthly releases
that offer updates to the most recent years data. In particular, see the Monthly
Energy Review at http://www.eia.gov/mer for statistics that include updates to
many of the annual series in this report.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2009

iii

Preface
This twenty-eighth edition of the Annual Energy Review (AER) presents the U.S.
Energy Information Administrations (EIA) most comprehensive look at integrated
energy statistics. The summary statistics on the Nations energy production,
consumption, trade, stocks, and prices cover all major energy commodities and all
energy-consuming sectors of the U.S. economy from 1949 through 2009. The AER
is EIAs historical record of energy statistics and, because the coverage spans six
decades, the statistics in this report are well-suited to long-term trend analysis.
The AER is a companion report to EIAs Monthly Energy Review (MER), and it
covers most MER series over a much longer time span. Numerous additional
series are included in the AER. The additional series are available because EIAs
surveys, on which both reports are largely based, provide more extensive coverage
of annual statistics than of monthly statistics.
AER statistics for recent years, particular 2009, are more likely than statistics for earlier
years to be revised by EIA as new information becomes available. The MER, therefore,
is the recommended source for the most recent statistics for many of the AER series.
For the most part, fuel-specific statistics in the AER are expressed in physical units,
such as barrels, cubic feet, short tons, and kilowatthours. Summary statistics in
Sections 1 and 2, however, are expressed in British thermal units (Btu), which

allows different fuels to be compared and integrated summary statistics, such as the
U.S. consumption of primary energy, to be calculated.
The AER emphasizes domestic energy statistics. Sections 1 through 10 and 12 are
devoted to U.S. statistics, while Section 11 is devoted to international statistics.
Trade statistics are the exception. For example, statistics on petroleum imports by
country of origin have been included in Section 5, Petroleum, in order to give a
complete picture of petroleum statistics in one place in the report.
Publication of the AER each year is in keeping with responsibilities given EIA in
Section 205(a)(2) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, Public Law 95-91.
The report is intended for use by Members of Congress, Federal and State agencies,
energy analysts, and the general public. EIA welcomes suggestions from readers
regarding its energy statistics. To make a suggestion or to obtain specific information regarding the contents of the AER, readers may contact any of the subject
specialists listed as contacts on the preceding page.
Printed copies of the Annual Energy Review 2009 may be obtained by contacting the
U.S. Government Printing Office or the National Energy Information Center, as
listed on the inside front cover of this report. The information in this report is also
available electronically at http://www.eia.gov/aer.

Energy use per person stood at 214 million British thermal units (Btu) in
1949. The rate generally increased until the oil price shocks of the mid1970s and early 1980s when the trend reversed for a few years. From 1988
on, the rate held fairly steady until the 2008-2009 economic downturn. In
2009, 308 million Btu of energy were consumed per person, 44 percent
above the 1949 rate.

The United States was self-sufficient in energy until the late 1950s when
energy consumption began to outpace domestic production. At that point,
the Nation began to import more energy to meet its needs. In 2009, net
imported energy accounted for 24 percent of all energy consumed.

After 1970, the amount of energy consumed to produce a dollar's worth of


the Nation's output of goods and services trended down. The decline
resulted from efficiency improvements and structural changes in the economy. The level in 2009 was 54 percent below that of 1970.

Most energy consumed in the United States comes from fossil fuels.
Renewable energy resources supplied a small but growing portion. In the
late 1950s, nuclear fuel began to be used to generate electricity. From
1998 through 2009, nuclear electric power surpassed renewable energy.

The Nations energy history is one of largescale change as new forms of energy
develop. Wood served as the primary
form of energy until about 1885, when it
was surpassed by coal.
Despite its
tremendous and rapid expansion, coal was
in turn overtaken by petroleum in the
middle of the 20th century. In the second
half of the 20th century, natural gas experienced rapid development, and coal began
to expand again. Late in the century, still
other forms of energyhydroelectric power
and nuclear electric powerwere developed and supplied significant amounts of
energy.
The reference case from the U.S. Energy
Information
Administrations
Annual
Energy Outlook 2010, which assumes
current laws and regulations remain
unchanged, projects that fossil fuels
continue to provide most of the energy
consumed in the United States over the
next 25 years. The fossil-fuel share of
overall energy use declines, however, as
the role of renewable forms of energy
grows.
Non-hydroelectric
renewable
energy is projected to double by 2035.

Energy lost during generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.

All four major economic sectors of the economy recorded tremendous


growth in their use of energy. The industrial sector used the biggest share of
total energy and showed the greatest volatility; in particular, steep drops
occurred in the sector in 1975, 1980-1982, 2001, 2008, and 2009 largely in
response to high oil prices and economic slowdown.

Figure 9. Industrial Total Energy Consumption, Major Sources


Figure 9. Industrial Energy Consumption

In the 1950s and 1960s, coal, which had been important to residential and
commercial consumers, was gradually replaced by other forms of energy.
Petroleum consumption peaked in the early 1970s. Natural gas consumption grew fast until the early 1970s, and then, with mild fluctuations, held
fairly steady in the following years. Meanwhile, electricity use (and related
losses) expanded dramatically.

Energy lost during generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.

Coal, once the predominant form of energy in the industrial sector, gave way
to natural gas and petroleum in the late 1950s. Both natural gas and petroleum use expanded rapidly until the early 1970s, and then fluctuated widely
over the following decades. Use of electricity and biomass trended upward.

Transportation sector use of energy experienced tremendous growth overall;


however, there were year-to-year declines, particularly in the early 1980s and
in 2008 and 2009. Throughout the 1949-to-2009 period, petroleum supplied
most of the demand for transportation energy; in 2009, petroleum accounted
for 94 percent of the transportation sector's total use of energy. Natural gas
and renewable energy accounted for the remainder.

The United States almost always produced more than enough coal for its
own requirements. For many years, the United States was also selfsufficient in natural gas, but after 1967, it produced less than it consumed
each year. Petroleum production fell far short of domestic demands, requiring the Nation to rely on imported supplies.

Most energy produced in the United States came from fossil fuelscoal,
natural gas, and crude oil. Coal, the leading source at the middle of the 20th
century, was surpassed by crude oil and then by natural gas. By the mid1980s, coal again became the leading energy source produced in the United
States, and crude oil declined sharply. In the 1970s, electricity produced
from nuclear fuel began to make a significant contribution and expanded
rapidly in the following decades.
xxii

Since the mid-1950s, the Nation imported more energy than it exported. In
2009, the United States imported 30 quadrillion Btu of energy and exported 7
quadrillion Btu. Most imported energy was in the form of petroleum; since
1986, natural gas imports expanded rapidly as well. Through 1992, most
exported energy was in the form of coal; after that, petroleum exports often
exceeded coal exports.

U.S. crude oil imports grew rapidly from mid-20th century until the late
1970s, but fell sharply from 1979 to 1985. The trend resumed upward from
1985 through 2004, then remained flat through 2007, before dropping in
2008 and 2009. In 2009, crude oil imports were 9.1 million barrels per day;
petroleum product imports were 2.7 million barrels per day; and, exports
were 2.0 million barrels per day, mainly in the form of distillate and residual
fuel oils.

U.S. petroleum imports rose sharply in the 1970s, and reliance on petroleum
from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) grew.
In 2009, 41 percent of U.S. petroleum imports came from OPEC countries,
down from 70 percent in 1977. After 1992, more petroleum came into the
United States from non-OPEC countries than from OPEC countries.

market. Each experienced wide fluctuation in the amount of petroleum it
sold to the United States over the decades. In 2009, 0.4 million barrels per
day of petroleum came into the United States from Iraq.

Canada and Mexico were the largest non-OPEC suppliers of petroleum to


the United States. In 2009, imports from Canada reached a new high of 2.5
million barrels per day. Imports from Mexico were insignificant until the mid1970s, when they began to play a key role in U.S. supplies. Canadian and
Mexican petroleum together accounted for 32 percent of all U.S. imports in

Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Through 1983, the Nation held most of its petroleum storage in the form of
products, which were ready for the market. After 1983, most petroleum in
storage was in the form of crude oil (including that held by the government in
the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) that still needed to be refined into usable
end products. At the end of 2009, petroleum stocks totaled 1.8 billion
barrels, 59 percent crude oil and 41 percent products.

In 1977, the United States began filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
(SPR), a national reserve of petroleum stocks in case of emergency. At the
end of 2009, the SPR held 727 million barrels of crude oil, 41 percent of all
U.S. petroleum stocks.

Most crude oil in the SPR was imported and came in during the early 1980s.
In fact, from 1991 through 1997, only 14 million barrels were imported for the
reserve, and in 3 of those years, no oil at all was imported for the reserve.
SPR imports picked up again after 1997, and stored another 176 million
barrels from 1998 through 2009.

xxvi

Stocks are often measured by the number of days of total net imports of
petroleum that could be met by the reserve in an emergency. The peak level
occurred in 1985 when the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) could have
supplied 115 days of petroleum net imports, at the 1985 level. The rate
trended down for many years, falling to 50 days in 2001. In 2009, SPR held
75 days of net imports.

The fuel economy (miles per gallon), of passenger cars and vans, pickup
trucks, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), improved noticeably from the mid1970s through 2008, with the exception of 2002 and 2003, when the fuel
economy of vans, pickup trucks, and SUVs fell. The fuel economy of
heavy-duty trucks was much lower than for other vehicles, largely due to
their greater size and weight, and showed far less change over time.

U.S. natural gas production and consumption were nearly in balance


through 1986. After that, consumption began to outpace production, and
imports of natural gas rose to meet U.S. demand. Production increased
from 2006 through 2009. In 2009, production stood at 21.0 trillion cubic feet
(Tcf), net imports at 2.7 Tcf, and consumption at 22.8 Tcf.

Natural gas well productivity, measured as gross withdrawals per day per
well, grew rapidly in the late 1960s, peaked in 1971, and then fell sharply
until the mid-1980s. Productivity remained fairly steady from 1985 through
1999, fell annually through 2008, and turned up slightly in 2009.

Throughout the 1949-to-2009 period, the industrial sector consumed more


energy than any other sector and accounted for 32 percent of all natural gas
consumption in 2009. Big fluctuations in the level of consumption were due
to variability in industrial output. Energy consumption by the electric power
sector grew substantially over the same period and, in 2009, accounted for
30 percent of all natural gas consumption.

Improved mining technology and the shift toward more


surface-mined coal promoted dramatic improvement in
productivity from the Nation's mines from 1978 through
2000, but productivity declined in most years since
then.

In 1949, one-fourth of U.S. coal came from surface


mines; by 1971, more than one-half was
surface-mined; and in 2009, 69 percent came from
above-ground mines.

In the 1950s, most coal was consumed in the industrial sector, many homes
were still heated by coal, and the transportation sector consumed coal in
steam-driven trains and ships. By the 1960s, most coal was used for generating electricity. In 2009, the electric power sector accounted for 94 percent

petroleum, and natural gas) accounted for 69 percent of all net generation,
while nuclear electric power contributed 20 percent, and renewable energy
resources 10 percent. In 2009, 66 percent of the net generation from renewable energy resources was derived from conventional hydroelectric power.

From 1989 through 2009, natural gas-fired electric net summer capacity
increased dramatically. Coal, hydroelectric power, and nuclear electric
power capacity also increased over the 20-year period. In contrast, petroleum capacity was lower in 2009 than in 1989. Among non-hydroelectric
renewable energy sources, wind capacity increased the most. In the Other
category, wood, waste, and solar capacity registered small increases,
whereas geothermal capacity posted a slight decline.

The non-electrical output at a CHP plant is called useful thermal output.


Useful thermal output is thermal energy that is available from the plant for
use in industrial or commercial processes or heating or cooling
applications. In 2009, the industrial sector generated 1.2 quadrillion Btu of
useful thermal output; the electric power and commercial sectors generated much smaller quantities.

Except for a few years in the 1960s when imported and exported electricity
were nearly equal, the United States imported more electricity than it
exported. Most electricity trade occurred with Canada; very small exchanges
occurred between the United States and Mexico. Nonetheless, in 2009, net
imported electricity was less than 0.9 percent of all electricity used in the
United States.

Capacity change reflects capacity additions, retirements, and other changes (such
as generator re-ratings). In the nuclear power industry, capacity additions follow the
issuing of full-power operating licenses. Year-to-year capacity additions were the
greatest in the 1970s and 1980s. In fact, nuclear power capacity was added almost
every year from the 1950s through 1990, when growth leveled off.

After 1959, the industrial sector consumed the most biomass (wood, waste,
fuel ethanol, and biodiesel). Residential use of biomass (wood) fell through
1973, expanded from 1974 through 1985, and then trended downward again.
Transportation consumption of biomass (fuel ethanol and biodiesel)
expanded after 1996 and, by 2006, exceeded the consumption of biomass
(wood and waste) in both the electric power and residential sectors.

The increase in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from 1949 through


the mid 1970s correlated strongly with an increase in energy consumption,
which in turned appeared to be linked to economic growth. After the mid
1970s, however, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions increased more
slowly than inflation-adjusted gross domestic product. In 2009, during an
economic downturn, emissions decreased 7 percent from the 2008 level.

In 2008, methane emissions accounted for 10 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, weighted by global warming potential (see Global
Warming Potential in Glossary). Most methane emissions came from
energy, waste management, and agricultural sources. The production,
processing, and distribution of natural gas accounted for 60 percent of the
energy-related methane emissions in 2008.

Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
Includes 25.2 trillion Btu of coal coke net imports and 378.0 trillion Btu of energy losses and
co-products from the production of fuel ethanol that are not allocated to the States.
4 The U.S. consumption value in this table does not match those in Tables 1.1 and 1.3 because it:
1) does not include biodiesel; 2) does not incorporate the latest data revisions; and 3) is the sum of State
values, which use State average heat contents to convert physical units of coal and natural gas to Btu.
5 Includes $347 million for coal coke net imports, which are not allocated to the States.

Based on calculations of data from 1971 through 2000.
P=Preliminary.
Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature. Heating degree-days are
deviations below the mean daily temperature of 65 F. For example, a weather station recording a mean
daily temperature of 40 F would report 25 heating degree-days. Temperature information recorded by
weather stations is used to calculate State-wide degree-day averages based on resident State population.

Beginning in July 2001, data are weighted by the 2000 population. The population-weighted State figures
are aggregated into Census divisions and the national average. See Appendix C for map of Census
divisions.

P=Preliminary.
Notes: Degree-days are relative measurements of outdoor air temperature. Cooling degree-days are
deviations above the mean daily temperature of 65 F. For example, a weather station recording a mean
daily temperature of 78 F would report 13 cooling degree-days. Temperature information recorded by
weather stations is used to calculate State-wide degree-day averages based on resident State population.

Beginning in 2002, data are weighted by the 2000 population. The population-weighted State figures are
aggregated into Census divisions and the national average. See Appendix C for map of Census
divisions.

in 1977, the U.S. Governments fiscal year is October 1 through September 30 (for example, fiscal year
2007 is October 2006 through September 2007). Data in this table are developed using the following
conversion factors (which in most cases are different from those in Tables A1-A6)coal: 24.580 million
Btu/short ton; natural gas: 1,031 Btu/cubic foot; aviation gasoline: 5.250 million Btu/barrel; fuel oil: 5.8254
million Btu/barrel; jet fuel: 5.460 million Btu/barrel; liquefied petroleum gases: 4.011 million Btu/barrel;
motor gasoline: 5.250 million Btu/barrel; electricity: 3,412 Btu/kilowatthour; and purchased steam: 1,000
Btu/pound. 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.

1 Includes only those quantities for which the royalties were paid on the basis of the value of the natural
gas plant liquids produced. Additional quantities of natural gas plant liquids were produced; however, the
royalties paid were based on the value of natural gas processed. These latter quantities are included with
natural gas.
2 Includes some quantities of natural gas processed into liquids at natural gas processing plants and
fractionators.
3 Data from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), are
for sales volumes.
4 Through 2000, data are on a calendar-year (January through December) basis. The only exception is
in 1949-1974 with production from Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1, which is on a fiscal-year (July through
June) basis.

R=Revised. P=Preliminary. = Not applicable.
Notes: Estimates of consumption for nonfuel use shown in this table are included in total energy
consumption (see Table 1.3). See Note, "Nonfuel Use of Fossil Fuels," at end of section. Because of
changes in methodology, data series may be revised annually. Estimates of nonfuel use in this table are
considered industrial uses with the exception of approximately half of the lubricants which are considered
transportation use. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

Energy Overview
Note. Nonfuel Use of Fossil Fuels. Most fossil fuels consumed in the United
States and elsewhere are combusted to produce heat and power. However, some are
used directly for nonfuel use as construction materials, lubricants, chemical feedstocks, solvents, and waxes. For example, asphalt and road oil are used for roofing
and paving; liquefied petroleum gases are used to create intermediate products that
are used in making plastics; lubricants, including motor oil and greases, are used in
vehicles and various industrial processes; petrochemical feedstocks are used to
make plastics, synthetic fabrics, and related products; and natural gas is used to
make nitrogenous fertilizers and as feedstock in the chemical industry. For more
information, see U.S. Energy Information Administration, Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States (Nonfuel Use of Energy Inputs section in
Chapter 2), at http://www.eia.gov/environment.html.

Tables A2, A4, and A5. Data in column 13 are the sum of the other Btu
columns. Percent of U.S. Total: Percentages are calculated by dividing
production on federally administered lands by total U.S. production, then multiplying by 100. Calendar-year values for total U.S. production are from Tables
5.1, 6.1, and 7.1; fiscal-year values for total U.S. production are the sum of
October-September values from the Monthly Energy Review (May 2010), Tables
3.1, 4.1, and 6.1.

7 A balancing item. The sum of primary consumption in the five energy-use sectors equals the sum of
total consumption in the four end-use sectors. However, total energy consumption does not equal the sum
of the sectoral components due to the use of sector-specific conversion factors for natural gas and coal.
8 Primary energy consumption total. See Table 1.3.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu and greater than -0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: See Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of Section 8.
Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

another entity. Note that shipments of energy sources are subtracted from consumption.
8 The sum of coal, coal coke and breeze, natural gas, distillate fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gases,
natural gas liquids, residual fuel oil, net electricity, and other, minus shipments of energy sources.
(s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu and greater than -0.5 trillion Btu. Q=Data withheld because the relative
standard error was greater than 50 percent.
Notes: Data are estimates for the first use of energy for heat and power and as feedstocks or raw
material inputs. "First use" is the consumption of energy that was originally produced offsite or was
produced onsite from input materials not classified as energy. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

1 "Net Electricity" is the sum of purchases, transfers in, and onsite generation from noncombustible
renewable energy sources, minus quantities sold and transferred out; it excludes onsite generation from
combustible fuels.
2 Liquefied petroleum gases.
3 Natural gas liquids.

6 Combined-heat-and-power plants.
7 Excludes steam and hot water.
= Not applicable. (s)=Estimate less than 0.5. Q=Withheld because relative standard error is greater
than 50 percent.

Notes: Data are estimates for the total consumption of energy for the production of heat, power, and
electricity generation, regardless of where the energy was produced. Specifically, the estimates include the
quantities of energy that were originally produced offsite and purchased by or transferred to the
establishment, plus those that were produced onsite from other energy or input materials not classified as
energy, or were extracted from captive (onsite) mines or wells. Allocations to end uses are made on the
basis of reasonable approximations by respondents. Totals may not equal sum of components due to
independent rounding, the presence of estimates that round to zero, and the presence of estimates that are
withheld because the relative standard error is greater than 50 percent.

Energy Consumption by Sector


Note 1. Electrical System Energy Losses. Electrical system energy losses are
calculated as the difference between total primary consumption by the electric
power sectorsee Table 2.1fand the total energy content of electricity retail
salessee Tables 8.9 and A6. Most of these losses occur at steam-electric
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

66

losses is a result of imputing fossil energy equivalent inputs for hydroelectric,


solar, and wind energy sources, since there is no generally accepted practice for
measuring those thermal conversion rates. 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 percent is lost in plant use and 7 percent is lost in transmission and distribution.

Classification System) 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.
12 Expenditures by the electric power sector for coal, natural gas, petroleum, nuclear fuel, wood, waste,
and electricity imports. Values are negative so the columns will sum to the "Total Energy" column.
13 Retail electricity expenditures by ultimate customers, reported by electric utilities and, beginning in
1996, other energy service providers.
14 Expenditures for primary energy and retail electricity by the four end-use sectors (residential,
commercial, industrial, and transportation); excludes expenditures for energy by the electric power sector.
R=Revised.
Notes: Expenditures include taxes where data are available. There are no direct fuel costs for
hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, or solar energy. Totals may not equal the sum of components due to
independent rounding.

Notes: "Major U.S. Energy Companies" are the top publicly-owned, U.S.-based crude oil and natural
gas producers and petroleum refiners that form the Financial Reporting System. See Table 3.14. "Net
income" is operating income plus other income and extraordinary income less operating expenses, taxes,
interest charges, other deductions, and extraordinary deductions. "Eliminations" are revenues and
expenses resulting from transactions between segments of the energy industry. Consolidated company
accounts do not include intersegment revenues and expenses. Therefore, such intersegment transactions
must be eliminated. "Nontraceables" are energy companies revenues, costs, assays, and liabilities that
cannot be directly attributed to a type of business by use of a reasonable allocation method developed on
the basis of operating-level utilities.

1 Inferred reserves (reserve growth) is the volume by which the estimate of total recovery from a known
crude oil or natural gas reservoir or aggregation of such reservoirs is expected to increase during the time
between discovery and permanent abandonment.
2 Natural gas plant liquids are not included.
3 Conventionally reservoired deposits are discrete subsurface accumulations of crude oil or natural gas
usually defined, controlled, or limited by hydrocarbon/water contacts.
4 Includes Federal offshore and State offshore waters (near-shore, shallow-water areas under State
jurisdiction).
5 Associated-dissolved (AD) natural gas is gas that occurs in crude oil reservoirs either as free gas
(associated) or as gas in solution with crude oil (dissolved gas).
6 Inferred reserves for associated-dissolved natural gas are included in "Undiscovered Technically
Recoverable Resources."
Notes: Data are at end of year. "Technically recoverable" resources are those that are producible

using current technology without reference to the economic viability thereof. Resources in areas where
drilling is officially prohibited are not included. Estimates of the resources within a 50-mile buffer off the
Atlantic coast are also excluded from the technically recoverable volumes. "48 States" is the United
States excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
Sources: Proved Reserves: U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Office of Oil and Gas.
Table values reflect the removal of intervening reserve additions between the date of the latest available
assessment and December 31, 2007. Inferred Reserves: EIA, Office of Oil and Gas and Office of
Integrated Analysis and Forecasting. Undiscovered Onshore, State Offshore, and Alaska: National Oil
and Gas Resource Assessment Team, United States Geological Survey with adjustments to shale gas and
coalbed methane by Advanced Resources, International and the EIA, Office of Integrated Analysis and
Forecasting, Oil and Gas Division. Undiscovered Federal (Outer Continental Shelf) Offshore:

1 To the extent that lease condensate is measured or estimated it is included in "Natural Gas Liquids";
otherwise, lease condensate is included in "Crude Oil."
2 The American Gas Association estimates of natural gas proved reserves include volumes of natural
gas held in underground storage. In 1979, this volume amounted to 4.9 trillion cubic feet. U.S. Energy
Information Administration (EIA) data do not include natural gas in underground storage.
3 Natural gas is converted to crude oil equivalent (COE) by multiplying by the natural gas dry production
approximate heat content (see Table A4) and then dividing by the crude oil production approximate heat
content (see Table A2). The lease condensate portion of natural gas liquids is converted to COE by
multiplying by the lease condensate production approximate heat content (5.5 million Btu per barrel) and
then dividing by the crude oil production approximate heat content. Other natural gas liquids are converted
to COE by multiplying by the natural gas plant liquids production approximate heat content (see Table A2)
and then dividing by the crude oil production approximate heat content.

Notes: Data are for exploratory and development wells combined; see Table 4.6 for exploratory wells
only, and Table 4.7 for development wells only. Service wells, stratigraphic tests, and core tests are
excluded. For 1949-1959, data represent wells completed in a given year. For 1960-1969, data are for
well completion reports received by the American Petroleum Institute during the reporting year. For 1970
forward, the data represent wells completed in a given year. The as-received well completion data for
recent years are incomplete due to delays in the reporting of wells drilled. The U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) therefore statistically imputes the missing data. Revisions for 1990-2008 are due to

Notes: Data are for exploratory wells only; see Table 4.5 for exploratory and development wells
combined, and Table 4.7 for development wells only. For 1949-1959, data represent wells completed in
a given year. For 1960-1969, data are for well completion reports received by the American Petroleum
Institute (API) during the reporting year. For 1970 forward, the data represent wells completed in a given
year. The as-received well completion data for recent years are incomplete due to delays in the reporting
of wells drilled. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) therefore statistically imputes the missing

Notes: Data are for development wells only; see Table 4.5 for exploratory and development wells
combined, and Table 4.6 for exploratory wells only. Service wells, stratigraphic tests, and core tests are
excluded. For 1949-1959, data represent wells completed in a given year. For 1960-1969, data are for
well completion reports received by the American Petroleum Institute during the reporting year. For 1970
forward, the data represent wells completed in a given year. The as-received well completion data for
recent years are incomplete due to delays in the reporting of wells drilled. The U.S. Energy Information
Administration (EIA) therefore statistically imputes the missing data. Revisions for 1990-2008 are due to

Notes: The information reported for 1965 and prior years is not strictly comparable to that in more
recent surveys. Average cost is the arithmetic mean and includes all costs for drilling and equipping
wells and for surface-producing facilities. Wells drilled include exploratory and development wells; excludes
service wells, stratigraphic tests, and core tests. See "Development Well" and "Exploratory Well" in
Glossary.

Notes: See U.S. Coal Reserves: 1997 Update on the Web Page for a description of the methodology
used to produce these data. Data represent remaining measured and indicated coal resources, analyzed
2

and on file, meeting minimum seam and depth criteria, and in the ground as of January 1, 2009. These
coal resources are not totally recoverable. Net recoverability with current mining technologies ranges from
0 percent (in far northern Alaska) to more than 90 percent. Fifty-four percent of the demonstrated reserve
base of coal in the United States is estimated to be recoverable. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

1 Forward costs include the costs for power and fuel, labor, materials, insurance, severance and ad
valorem taxes, and applicable administrative costs. Past capital costs are considered "sunk" costs and
mining of the individual deposits may or may not return such costs to investors. Sunk costs for such items
as exploration and land acquisition are excluded as are the costs for income taxes, profit, and the cost of
money. The forward costs used to estimate U.S. uranium ore reserves are independent of the price at
which uranium produced from the estimated reserves might be sold in the commercial market. Resource
values in forward-cost categories are cumulative; that is, the quantity at each level of forward cost includes
all reserves/resources at the lower cost in that category.
2 Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
3 The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) category of uranium reserves is equivalent to the
internationally reported category of "Reasonably Assured Resources" (RAR).
4 Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Virginia,

and Washington.
5 Shown are the mean values for the distribution of estimates for each forward-cost category, rounded
to the nearest million pounds uranium oxide.

R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 500 barrels per day.
Notes: The country of origin for refined petroleum products may not be the country of origin for the
crude oil from which the refined products were produced. For example, refined products imported from
refineries in the Caribbean may have been produced from Middle East crude oil. Data include any
imports for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which began in 1977. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

8 Algeria joined OPEC in 1969. For 1960-1968, Algeria is included in "Total Non-OPEC."
9 Nigeria joined OPEC in 1971. For 1960-1970, Nigeria is included in "Total Non-OPEC."
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Notes: The country of origin for refined petroleum products may not be the country of origin for the
crude oil from which the refined products were produced. For example, refined products imported from
refineries in the Caribbean may have been produced from Middle East crude oil. Net imports equal
imports minus exports. Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports. Data include any imports
for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which began in 1977. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

5 Fuel oil nos. 5 and 6. For 1949-1979, data are for steam plant use of petroleum. For 1980-2000,
electric utility data also include a small amount of fuel oil no. 4.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Notes: Data for "Transportation Sector" are estimates. For total heat content of petroleum
consumption by all sectors, see data for heat content of petroleum products supplied in Table 5.12.
Petroleum products supplied is an approximation of petroleum consumption and is synonymous with the
term "petroleum consumption" in Tables 5.13a-d and 5.14a-c. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

1 Imported crude oil received represents volumes of imported crude oil received at SPR storage facilities
for which the costs associated with the importation and delivery of crude oil are the responsibility of the
commercial importer under contract to supply the SPR.
2 The values shown for 1998 and 1999 represent an exchange agreement in which SPR received
approximately 8.5 million barrels of high quality oil in exchange for approximately 11 million barrels of lower
quality crude oil shipped from SPR during 1999 and 2000. Also, beginning in 1999, a portion of the crude
oil in-kind royalties from Federal leases in the Gulf of Mexico was transferred to the U.S. Department of
Energy and exchanged with commercial entities for crude oil to fill the SPR. Crude oil exchange barrels
delivered to SPR could be either domestic or imported as long as the crude oil met the specification
requirements of SPR. All exchange barrels of imported crude oil are included in "Foreign Crude Oil
Receipts, Imported by Others," while exchange barrels of domestic crude oil are included in "Domestic
Crude Oil Receipts, Exchanges."
3 Stocks do not include imported quantities in transit to SPR terminals, pipeline fill, and above-ground
storage.
4 Includes lease condensate stocks.
5 Derived by dividing end-of-year SPR stocks by annual average daily net imports of all petroleum.

Note: Costs are for crude oil to refiners, including transportation and other fees; they do not include
crude oil purchased for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The cost for each category and for the composite
is derived by dividing the sum of the total purchasing (acquisition) costs of all refiners by the total volume of
all refiners purchases.

crude oil was derived by adding estimated transportation costs to the reported average domestic first
purchase value. The cost of imported crude oil was derived by adding an estimated ocean transport cost
based on the published "Average Freight Rate Assessment" to the average "Free Alongside Ship" value
published by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. The composite cost was derived by weighting domestic costs
and imported costs on the basis of quantities produced and imported. 1974-January 1976Federal

new gasoline adjustment method to gasoline product supplied data for 1992
increased the reported quantity 108 thousand barrels per day at the U.S. level from
7,268 thousand barrels per day to 7,376 thousand barrels per day.

Petroleum
Note 1. Petroleum Products Supplied and Petroleum Consumption. Petroleum
product supplied (see Table 5.11) is an approximation of petroleum consumption
and is synonymous with the term Petroleum Consumption in Tables 5.13a-d.
Petroleum products supplied is calculated as field production plus renewable fuels
and oxygenates production plus processing gain plus net imports minus stock
change plus adjustments. Total products supplied include natural gas plant liquids,
unfinished oils, aviation gasoline blending components, and finished petroleum
products. Crude oil burned on leases and at pipeline stations was reported as product supplied for either distillate fuel oil or residual fuel oil until January 1983. From
January 1983 through December 2009, crude oil product supplied was reported
based on quantities reported on Form EIA-813 Monthly Crude Oil Report.
Beginning with data for January 2010, reporting crude oil used directly on Form
EIA-813 was discontinued, and crude oil product supplied was assumed equal to
zero. The sector allocation of product supplied in Tables 5.13a-d for products used
in more than one sector is derived from sales to ultimate consumers by refiners,
marketers, distributors, and dealers (see U.S. Energy Information Administration
(EIA) report Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales) and from EIA electric power sector
petroleum consumption data (see Tables 8.7b and 8.7c).
Note 2. Changes Affecting Petroleum Production and Product Supplied Statistics. Beginning in January 1981, several U.S. Energy Information Administration
survey forms and calculation methodologies were changed to reflect new developments in refinery and blending plant practices and to improve data integrity. Those
changes affect production and product supplied statistics for motor gasoline, distillate fuel oil, and residual fuel oil, and stocks of motor gasoline. On the basis of
those changes, motor gasoline production during the last half of 1980 would have
averaged 289,000 barrels per day higher than that which was published on the old
basis. Distillate and residual fuel oil production and product supplied for all of 1980
would have averaged, respectively, 105,000 and 54,000 barrels per day higher than
the numbers that were published. A new adjustment was introduced for calculating
finished motor gasoline product supplied beginning with data for January 1993.
The new adjustment transferred product supplied for motor gasoline blending
components and fuel ethanol to supply of finished motor gasoline. Applying the

Note 3. Gross Input to Distillation Units. The methods of deriving Gross Input
to Distillation Units (GIDU) in this report are as follows: for 1949-1966, GIDU is
estimated by summing annual crude oil runs to stills, net unfinished oil reruns at
refineries, and shipments of natural gasoline and plant condensate from natural gas
processing plants to refineries; for 1967-1973, GIDU is estimated by summing
annual crude oil runs to stills, net unfinished oil reruns, and refinery input of natural
gasoline and plant condensate; for 1974-1980, GIDU is published annual data; and
for 1981 forward, GIDU is the sum of reported monthly data.
Note 4. Crude Oil Domestic First Purchase Prices. Crude oil domestic first
purchase prices were derived as follows: for 1949-1973, 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.
Note 5. Historical Residential Heating Oil Prices. Residential heating oil prices
for 1956 through 1987 were formerly published in the Annual Energy Review.
Those data, in cents per gallon, are: 195615.2; 195716.0; 195815.1;

1 Volume reduction resulting from the removal of natural gas plant liquids, which are transferred to
petroleum supply (see Tables 5.1 and 5.10).
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. E=Estimate. NA=Not available.
Notes: Beginning with 1965 data, all volumes are shown on a pressure base of 14.73 p.s.i.a. at 60 F.
For prior years, the pressure base was 14.65 p.s.i.a. at 60 F. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.
Web Pages: For all data beginning in 1949, see http://www.eia.gov/emeu/aer/natgas.html.

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. Electric
utility CHP plants are included in "Electricity Only."
2 Commercial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and a small number of commercial electricity-only plants.
3 All commercial sector fuel use other than that in "Commercial CHP."
4 Industrial combined-heat-and-power (CHP) and a small number of industrial electricity-only plants.
5 All industrial sector fuel use other than that in "Lease and Plant Fuel" and "Industrial CHP."
6 Natural gas consumed in the operation of pipelines, primarily in compressors.
7 Natural gas used as fuel in the delivery of natural gas to consumers.
8 Vehicle fuel data do not reflect revised data shown in Table 10.5. See Note 4, "Natural Gas Vehicle
Fuel," at end of section.
9 Included in "Commercial Other."
10 Included in "Industrial Non-CHP."
11 For 1989-1992, a small amount of consumption at independent power producers may be counted in
both "Other Industrial" and "Electric Power Sector." See Note 3, "Natural Gas Consumption, 1989-1992," at
end of section.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 billion cubic feet.

"Supplemental Gaseous Fuels," at end of section. See Tables 8.5a-8.5d for the amount of natural gas
used to produce electricity and Tables 8.6a-8.6c for the amount of natural gas used to produce useful
thermal output. See Note 2, "Natural Gas Consumption," at end of section. Beginning with 1965, all
volumes are shown on a pressure base of 14.73 p.s.i.a. at 60 F. For prior years, the pressure base was
14.65 p.s.i.a. at 60 F. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

electric utilities only; beginning in 2002, data are for electric utilities and independent power producers. See
Note 5, "Coverage of Electric Power Sector Natural Gas Prices," at end of section.
4 Much of the natural gas delivered for vehicle fuel represents deliveries to fueling stations that are used
primarily or exclusively by fleet vehicles. Thus, the prices are often those associated with the cost of gas in
the operation of fleet vehicles.

Natural Gas
Note 1. 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,
or air or inert gases added for British thermal unit (Btu) stabilization.
Annual data beginning with 1980 are from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Natural Gas Annual. Unknown quantities of supplemental gaseous fuels
are included in consumption data for 1979 and earlier years.
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, 2.1b, 2.1c, 2.1d, and 2.1f (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 6.5) divided by the sum of natural gas consumption by the residential,
commercial, other industrial, and electric power sectors (see Table 6.5), and then multiplied by total supplemental gaseous fuels consumption (see Table 6.1). 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 2. Natural Gas Consumption. Natural gas consumption statistics are
compiled from surveys of natural gas production, transmission, and distribution
companies and from surveys of electric power generation. Consumption by sector
from these surveys is compiled on a national and individual State basis and then
balanced with national and individual State supply data. Included in the data are the
following: Residential SectorConsumption by private households for space
heating, cooking, and other household uses; Commercial SectorConsumption by
nonmanufacturing establishments; municipalities for institutional heating and lighting; and, through 1995, those engaged in agriculture, forestry, and fishing. The

202

commercial sector includes generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal
output primarily to support the activities of the above-mentioned commercial establishments; Industrial SectorConsumption by establishments engaged primarily
in processing unfinished materials into another form of product (including mining;
petroleum refining; manufacturing; and, beginning in 1996, agriculture, forestry,
and fishing), and natural gas industry use for lease and plant fuel. The industrial
sector includes generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal output
primarily to support the above-mentioned industrial activities; Transportation
SectorNatural gas transmission (pipeline) fuel, and natural gas delivered for
use as vehicle fuel; and Electric Power Sector (electric utilities and independent power producers)Consumption for electricity generation and useful thermal output at electricity-only and combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within
the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) 22 category whose
primary business is to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public.
Note 3. Natural Gas Consumption, 1989-1992. Prior to 1993, deliveries to nonutility generators were not separately collected from natural gas companies on Form
EIA-176, Annual Report of Natural and Supplemental Gas Supply and
Disposition. As a result, for 1989-1992, 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.
Note 4. Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel. In Table 6.5, for 1992 forward, natural gas
vehicle fuel data do not reflect revised data shown in Table 10.5. These revisions,
in million cubic feet, are: 19922,112; 19932,860; 19943,222; 19954,619;
19966,111; 19978,393; 19989,416; 199910,398; 200011,461; 200113,788;
200215,810; 200317,484; 200421,487; 200522,578; 200623,317; 200724,186;
and 200824,659.
Note 5. Coverage of Electric Power Sector Natural Gas Prices. For 1973-1982,
data for electric power sector natural gas prices include all electric utility plants at
which the generator nameplate capacity of all steam-electric units combined
totaled 25 megawatts or greater. For 1974-1982, peaking units are also included
and counted toward the 25-megawatt-or-greater total. For 1983-1990, data
include all electric utility plants at which the generator nameplate capacity of all
steam-electric units combined totaled 50 megawatts or greater. For 1991-2001,
data include all electric utility plants at which the generator nameplate capacity
of all steam-electric units and combined-cycle units together totaled 50 megawatts or greater. For 2002 forward, data include electric utility and independent
power producer plants at which the total facility fossil-fueled nameplate generating capacity is 50 or more megawatts, regardless of unit type.

1 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).
2 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."
3 Net imports equal imports minus exports. Minus sign indicates exports are greater than imports.
4 A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates an increase.
5 "Losses and Unaccounted for" is calculated as the sum of production, imports, and waste coal
supplied, minus exports, stock change, and consumption.
6 Through 1973, stock change is included in "Losses and Unaccounted for."

1 Data through 1973 for bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, and lignite, and data through 1978 for
anthracite, were originally reported in short tons per employee daythese data were converted to short
tons per employee hour by assuming an eight-hour day. Through 1997, other data were calculated by
dividing total production by total labor hours worked by all mine employees except office workers; beginning
in 1998, the calculation also includes office workers.
2 Beginning in 2001, includes a small amount of refuse recovery.
3 Through 1978, data for anthracite are not available by mining method, but are included in "Total."
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.

4 Through 1978, subbituminous coal is included in "Bituminous Coal."
R=Revised. E=Estimate.
Note: Prices are free-on-board (F.O.B.) rail/barge prices, which are the F.O.B. prices of coal at the point
of first sale, excluding freight or shipping and insurance costs. For 1949-2000, prices are for open market
and captive coal sales; for 2001-2007, prices are for open market coal sales; for 2008 forward, prices are
for open market and captive coal sales. See "Captive Coal," "Free on Board (F.O.B.)," and "Open Market

Coal
Note 1. Coal Consumption. Data in this report on the consumption of bituminous coal, sub-bituminous coal, lignite, anthracite, and waste coal are developed
primarily from consumption data reported in surveys. Included are data reported
by all electric power companies and coke plant companies. Data on coal
consumption by all industrial and manufacturing establishments are based on
consumption data obtained quarterly from coal users. Beginning in 2008, data
on coal consumption by the residential and commercial sectors are based on
data received on Form EIA-3, "Quarterly Coal Consumption and Quality
ReportManufacturing and Transformation/Processing Coal Plants and
Commercial and Institutional Users. Prior to 2008, data on coal consumption
by the residential and commercial sectors are based on distribution data
obtained annually from coal distributors. Included in each sectors data are the
following: Residential and Commercial Sectorscommercial and institutional
establishments including military bases, universities, and various State
facilities; Industrial Sectorconsumption at manufacturing plants, coking
plants, and coal preparation plants; Electric Power Sector (electric utilities and
independent power producers)consumption for electric generation and useful
thermal output at electricity-only and CHP plants within the North American

222

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 22 category, whose primary business is


to sell electricity, or electricity and heat, to the public. There are no data for the
Transportation Sector.
Note 2. Residential and Commercial Coal Consumption Estimates. Coal
consumption by the residential and commercial sectors is reported to the U.S.
Energy Information Administration (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 oil-heated housing unit. Then, for the years in which data are available on the number of occupied housing units by heating source (1950, 1960, 1970,
19731981, and subsequent odd-numbered years; see Table 2.7), residential
consumption of coal is estimated by the following steps: a ratio is created of the
number of occupied housing units heated by coal to the number of 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. The 1950
share is applied to 1949, and the other missing years shares are interpolated.

and non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived
fuels).
3
Data collection frame differences and nonsampling error. Derived for the diagram by
subtracting the T & D Losses estimate from T & D Losses and Unaccounted for derived from
Table 8.1.
4
Electric energy used in the operation of power plants.
5
Transmission and distribution losses (electricity losses that occur between the point of

generation and delivery to the customer) are estimated as 7 percent of gross generation.
6
Use of electricity that is 1) self-generated, 2) produced by either the same entity that
consumes the power or an affiliate, and 3) 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.
Notes: Data are preliminary. See Note, Electrical System Energy Losses, at the
end of Section 2. Net generation of electricity includes pumped storage facility production
minus energy used for pumping. Values are derived from source data prior to rounding for
publication. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants.


12 Through 1988, data are for electric utilities and industrial plants. Beginning in 1989, data are for
electric utilities, independent power producers, commercial plants, and industrial plants.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: Data are for energy consumed to produce electricity. Data also include energy consumed to
produce useful thermal output at a small number of electric utility combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants.
This table no longer shows energy consumption by hydroelectric pumped storage plants. The change
was made because most of the electricity used to pump water into elevated storage reservoirs is generated
by plants other than pumped-storage plants; thus, the associated energy is already accounted for in other
data columns in this table (such as "Conventional Hydroelectric Power," "Coal," "Natural Gas," and so on).
See Note 1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," at end of section. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

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.
See Table 8.4c for commercial and industrial CHP and electricity-only data. This table no longer
shows energy consumption by hydroelectric pumped storage plants. The change was made because most
of the electricity used to pump water into elevated storage reservoirs is generated by plants other than
pumped-storage plants; thus, the associated energy is already accounted for in other data columns in this
table (such as "Conventional Hydroelectric Power," "Coal," "Natural Gas," and so on). See Note 1,
"Coverage of Electricity Statistics," and Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at
end of section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

Notes: 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.
See Table 8.5d for commercial and industrial CHP and electricity-only data. See Note 1, "Coverage of
Electricity Statistics," and Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors," at end of
section. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

Notes: Estimates are for fuels consumed to produce useful thermal output; they exclude fuels
consumed to produce electricity. Estimates are for combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants within the
NAICS 22 category whose primary business is to sell electricity and heat to the public. Estimates do not
include electric utility CHP plants. See Table 8.6c for commercial and industrial CHP data. See Note
1, "Coverage of Electricity Statistics," and Note 2, "Classification of Power Plants Into Energy-Use Sectors,"
at end of section. See "Useful Thermal Output" in Glossary. Totals may not equal sum of components
due to independent rounding.

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 between $1 million and $2.5 million.) For 1980-1982, 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.

1 The actual reduction in peak load reflects the change in demand for electricity that results from a utility
demand-side management (DSM) program that is in effect at the time that the utility experiences its actual
peak load as opposed to the potential installed peakload reduction capacity. Differences between actual
and potential peak reduction result from changes in weather, economic activity, and other variable
conditions.
2 "Energy Efficiency" refers to programs that are aimed at reducing the energy used by specific end-use
devices and systems, typically without affecting the services provided. These programs reduce overall
electricity consumption, often without explicit consideration for the timing of program-induced savings.
Such savings are generally achieved by substituting technically more advanced equipment to produce the
same level of end-use services (e.g., lighting, heating, motor drive) with less electricity. Examples include
high-efficiency appliances, efficient lighting programs, high-efficiency heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning systems or control modifications, efficient building design, advanced electric motor drives, and
heat recovery systems.
3 "Load Management" includes programs such as "Direct Load Control," "Interruptible Load Control,"
and, "Other Types" of DSM programs. "Direct Load Control" refers to program activities that can interrupt
consumer load at the time of annual peak load by direct control of the utility system operator by interrupting
power supply to individual appliances or equipment on consumer premises. This type of control usually
involves residential consumers. "Interruptible Load Control" refers to program activities that, in accordance

with contractual arrangements, can interrupt consumer load at times of seasonal peak load by direct control
of the utility system operator or by action of the consumer at the direct request of the system operator. It
usually involves commercial and industrial consumers. In some instances, the load reduction may be
affected by direct action of the system operator (remote tripping) after notice to the consumer in accordance
with contractual provisions. "Other Types" are programs that limit or shift peak loads from on-peak to
off-peak time periods, such as space heating and water heating storage systems.

R=Revised. NA=Not available.
Note: This table reports on the results of DSM programs operated by electric utilities. The decrease
since 1998 in peakload reductions from DSM programs can be attributed in part to utilities cutting back or
terminating these programs due to industry deregulation. Some State governments have created new
programs to promote DSM. Examples include the "Energy $mart Loan Fund" administered by the New
York Energy Research and Development Authority and the "Efficiency Vermont" program of the Vermont
Public Service Board. Data on energy savings attributable to these non-utility programs are not collected
by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

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 1 megawatt or greater; they exclude plants with a
generator nameplate capacity less than 1 megawatt. Also excluded from the electricity statistics in Section 8 are data for residential and commercial selfgeneration 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 Energy-Use Sectors. The U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) classifies power plants (both electricityonly 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); 31-33 (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 EIA860, 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/cneaf/electricity/forms/eia860/eia860.doc.

Note 3. Electricity Imports and Exports. Through the Annual Energy Review
(AER) 2001, EIA estimated the proportions of traded electricity from fossil fuels
and hydropower (and applied the fossil-fuel steam-electric-plant heat rate to
convert from kilowatthours to Btu) and from geothermal (and applied the heat rate
for geothermal energy plants). Beginning with the AER 2002, because of inadequate data, EIA is applying an overall rate of 3,412 Btu per kilowatthour to all
traded electricity. In addition, electricity net imports derived from hydroelectric

272

power and geothermal energy are no longer included in renewable energy


consumption data. They continue to be included in total U.S. energy consumption
as components of electricity net imports, with energy sources unspecified (see
Tables 1.3 and 2.1f). This change between AER 2001 and AER 2002 resulted in a
0.0-to-0.5 quadrillion Btu drop in total renewable energy consumption from 1949
forward.

Import quantities through 1970 are reported for fiscal years. Prior to 1968, the Atomic Energy
Commission was the sole purchaser of all imported uranium oxide. Trade data prior to 1982 were for
transactions conducted by uranium suppliers only. For 1982 forward, transactions by uranium buyers
(consumers) have been included. Buyer imports and exports prior to 1982 are believed to be small.
3 Does not include any fuel rods removed from reactors and later reloaded.
4 Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
5 Value has been rounded to avoid disclosure of individual company data.

Nuclear Energy
Note 1. Pending Actions on Nuclear Generating Units. Much of Table 9.1 is
based on the U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulation 10 CFR Part
50, which has in most instances been supplanted by 10 CFR Part 52 following the
passage of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and procedural reforms initiated in
1989 by the NRC. (This statement applies to permit and license procedures only.)
In 2009, the NRC issued one Early Site Permit (ESP) under 10 CFR Part 52 to
the Vogtle nuclear plant in Georgia. Simultaneously, NRC issued Vogtle a
Limited Work Authorization (LWA). As of December 31, 2009, no new ESP
applications have been submitted since August 2006.
As of December 31, 2009, the NRC has 13 Combined License (COL) applications under reviewfor Bell Bend (Pennsylvania), Bellefonte 3 and 4 (Alabama);
Calvert Cliffs 3 (Maryland); Comanche Peak (Texas); Fermi 3 (Michigan); Levy
County 1 and 2 (Florida); Turkey Point (Florida); Virgil C. Summer 2 and 3 (South
Carolina); and Vogtle 3 and 4 (Georgia); and William States Lee III units 1 and 2
(South Carolina). As of that date, the Turkey Point COL application (submitted
in June 2009) was the last such application received by the NRC. At the request
of the applicants, review has been suspended for Callaway 2 (Missouri), Nine
Mile Point 3 (New York), and River Bend 2 (Louisiana). The Victoria County 1
and 2 COL application was withdrawn following the announcement that the
applicant intends to apply instead for an ESP with the reactor choice unspecified.
In addition to the COL applications currently under review, Watts Bar 2 is
currently under construction. Watts Bar 2 was issued a construction permit in
1973, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that the unit will be
brought on line in 2014. This is the only reactor that is anticipated to apply for the
license separate of construction permit. TVA has also requested that Bellefonte 1
and 2, two partially completed units, be moved to deferred plan status as the
Agency ponders either completing one or both.
As of December 31, 2009, 14 applications for license extensions were under
review by the NRC. The NRC granted the following 20-year license extensions in
2009: Oyster Creek, on April 8th; Vogtle 1 and 2 in June; Three Mile Island in
October; Beaver Valley (two units) on November 5th, and Susquehanna 1 and 2
also in November.
For more information on nuclear reactors, see http://www.nrc.gov/reactors.html.
Note 2. Coverage of Nuclear Energy Statistics. In 1997, the U.S. Energy Information Administration undertook a major revision of Table 9.1 to more fully
describe the history of the U.S. commercial nuclear power industry. The time frame
was extended back to the birth of the industry in 1953 and the data categories were
revised for greater relevance to current industry conditions and trends. To acquire
the data for the revised categories, it was necessary to develop a reactor unit

280

database employing different sources than those used previously for Table 9.1 and
still used for Table 9.2.
The data in Table 9.1 apply to commercial nuclear power units, which means
that the units contributed power to the commercial electricity grid. A total of 259
units ever ordered was identified. Although most orders were placed by electric utilities, several units are or were ordered, owned, and operated wholly or in part by the
Federal Government, including BONUS (Boiling Nuclear Superheater Power Station),
Elk River, Experimental Breeder Reactor 2, Hallam, Hanford N, Piqua, and
Shippingport.
A reactor is generally defined as operable in Table 9.1 while it possessed a fullpower license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or its predecessor the
Atomic Energy Commission, or equivalent permission to operate, at the end of the
year. The definition is liberal in that it does not exclude units retaining full-power
licenses during long, non-routine shutdowns. For example:
In 1985, the five Tennessee Valley Authority units (Browns Ferry 1, 2, and
3 and Sequoyah 1 and 2) were shut down under a regulatory forced outage.
Browns Ferry 1 was authorized by the NRC to restart in 2007, while the
other units restarted in 1991, 1995, 1988, and 1988, respectively. All five
units were counted as operable during the shutdowns.
Shippingport was shut down from 1974 through 1976 for conversion to a lightwater breeder reactor, but is counted as operable until its retirement in 1982.
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 rule 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 treated as operable during 1989 and
shut down in 1990, because counting it as operable and shut down in the same year
would introduce a statistical discrepancy in the tallies. 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.

Total corn and other biomass inputs to the production of undenatured ethanol used for fuel ethanol.
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.
3 The amount of denaturant in fuel ethanol produced.
4 Includes denaturant.
5 Net imports equal imports minus exports.
6 Stocks are at end of year.
7 A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates an increase.
8 Consumption of fuel ethanol minus denaturant. Data for fuel ethanol minus denaturant are used to
develop data for "Renewable Energy/Biomass" in Tables 10.1-10.2b, as well as in Sections 1 and 2.
9 Derived from the preliminary 2008 stocks value, not the final 2008 value shown in this table.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. = No data reported.
Notes: 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 1981-1992, data are estimates. For 1993-2008, only data for
feedstock, losses and co-products, and denaturant are estimates. For 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.
Web Page: http://www.eia.gov/oil_gas/petroleum/data_publications/petroleum_supply_monthly/psm.html.
Sources: Feedstock: Calculated as fuel ethanol production (in thousand barrels) minus denaturant, and
then multiplied by the fuel ethanol feedstock factorsee Table A3. Losses and Co-products: Calculated
as fuel ethanol feedstock plus denaturant minus fuel ethanol production. Denaturant: 1981-2008Data
in thousand barrels for petroleum denaturant in fuel ethanol produced are estimated as 2 percent of fuel
ethanol production; these data are converted to Btu by multiplying by 4.641 million Btu per barrel (the
estimated quantity-weighted factor of pentanes plus and conventional motor gasoline used as denaturant).

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 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 and conventional
motor gasoline. Production: 1981-1992Fuel ethanol production is assumed to equal fuel ethanol
consumptionsee sources for "Consumption." 1993-2004Calculated 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. 2005-2008EIA, Form EIA-819,

field production (Table 2), plus fuel ethanol refinery input (Table 16). 2005-2008EIA, 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).
2009EIA, PSM, monthly reports, Table 1. Calculated as fuel ethanol refinery and blender net inputs
minus fuel ethanol adjustments. Consumption Minus Denaturant: 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.

Total vegetable oil and other biomass inputs to the production of biodiesel.
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.
3 Net imports equal imports minus exports.
4 Stocks are at end of year.
5 A negative value indicates a decrease in stocks and a positive value indicates an increase.
6 Beginning in 2009, because of incomplete data coverage and different data sources, "Balancing Item"
is used to balance biodiesel supply and disposition.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available. (s)=Less than 0.5 trillion Btu.
Notes: 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 A3). 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.
Web Page: See http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/cir/historical_data/m311k/index.html for related
information.
Sources: Feedstock: Calculated as biodiesel production in thousand barrels multiplied by 5.433 million
Btu per barrel (the biodiesel feedstock factorsee Table A3). Losses and Co-products: Calculated as
biodiesel feedstock minus biodiesel production. Production: 2001-2005U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation, Bioenergy Program records. Annual data are derived from

Production, Consumption, and Stocks," data for soybean oil consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel). In
addition, the EIA, Office of Integrated Analysis and Forecasting, estimates that 14.4 million gallons of yellow
grease were consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel). 2007U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of
the Census, "M311K - Fats and Oils: Production, Consumption, and Stocks," data for all fats and oils
consumed in methyl esters (biodiesel). 2008EIA, Monthly Biodiesel Production Report, March 2009
(release date April 2010), Table 10. 2009The 2009 annual value is the sum of January-March 2009
values from EIA, Monthly Biodiesel Production Report, March 2009 (release date April 2010), Table 10; and
April-December 2009 values from U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, "M311K - Fats
and Oils: Production, Consumption, and Stocks," data for all fats and oils consumed in methyl esters
(biodiesel). Trade: U.S. Department of Agriculture, imports data for Harmonized Tariff Schedule code
3824.90.40.20 (Fatty Esters Animal/Vegetable/Mixture), and exports data for Schedule B code
3824.90.40.00 (Fatty Substances Animal/Vegetable/Mixture). Although these categories include products
other than biodiesel (such as those 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
estimates. Stocks and Stock Change: 2009EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), monthly reports,
Table 1, data for renewable fuels except fuel ethanol. Balancing Item: 2009Calculated as biodiesel
consumption and biodiesel stock change minus biodiesel production and biodiesel net imports.
Consumption:

2001-2008Calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net imports.


2009Calculated as the sum of the monthly consumption data. Data for January and February 2009 are
from EIA, PSM, monthly reports, Table 1, refinery and blender net inputs of renewable fuels except fuel
ethanol. Data for March-December 2009 are calculated as biodiesel production plus biodiesel net imports
minus biodiesel stock change.

5 Includes only those E85 vehicles believed to be used as alternative-fuels vehicles (AFVs), primarily
fleet-operated vechicles; excludes other vehicles with E85-fueling capability. In 1997, some vehicle
manufacturers began including E85-fueling capability in certain model lines of vehicles. For 2008, the U.S.
Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that the number of E85 vehicles that are capable of
operating on E85, motor gasoline, or both, is about 7.1 million. Many of these AFVs are sold and used as
traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.
6 Excludes gasoline-electric hybrids.
7 May include P-Series fuel or any other fuel designated by the Secretary of Energy as an alternative
fuel in acordance with the Energy Policy Act of 1995.
8 In addition to methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), includes a very small amount of other ethers,
primarily tertiary amyl methyl ether (TAME) and ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE).

end users. See "Alternative-Fueled Vehicle" in Glossary.
12 Fuel consumption quantities are expressed in a common base unit of gasoline-equivalent gallons to
allow comparisons of different fuel types. Gasoline-equivalent gallons do not represent gasoline
displacement. Gasoline equivalent is computed by dividing the gross heat content of the replacement fuel
by the gross heat content of gasoline (using an approximate heat content of 122,619 Btu per gallon) and
multiplying the result by the replacement fuel consumption value. See "Heat Content" in Glossary.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. NA=Not available.
Note: Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

1 Low-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate at temperatures below
110 F.
2 Medium-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate in the temperature
range of 140 F to 180 F but can also operate at temperatures as low as 110 F. Special collectors are
included in this category. Special collectors are evacuated tube collectors or concentrating (focusing)
collectors. They operate in the temperature range from just above ambient temperature (low concentration
for pool heating) to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit (high concentration for air conditioning and
specialized industrial processes).
3 High-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate at temperatures above
180 F. High-temperature collector shipments are dominated by one manufacturer, and the collectors are
used by the electric power sector to build new central station solar thermal power plants and generate
electricity. Year-to-year fluctations depend on how much new capacity is brought online.
4 Prices equal shipment value divided by quantity shipped. Value includes charges for advertising and
warranties. Excluded are excise taxes and the cost of freight or transportation for the shipments.

Prices are not adjusted for inflation. See "Nominal Dollars" in Glossary.
No data are available for 1985.
R=Revised. NA=Not available. = No data reported. = Not applicable. W=Value withheld to avoid

Notes: Shipments data are for domestic and export shipments, and may include imports that
subsequently were shipped to domestic or foreign customers. Manufacturers producing more than one
type of collector are accounted for in both groups.

subsequently were shipped to domestic or foreign customers. Beginning in 2007, data are for domestic
shipments only.
7 Low-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate at temperatures below
110 F.
8 Medium-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate in the temperature

range of 140 F to 180 F, but can also operate at temperatures as low as 110 F. Special collectors are
included in this category. Special collectors are evacuated tube collectors or concentrating (focusing)
collectors. They operate in the temperature range from just above ambient temperature (low concentration
for pool heating) to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit (high concentration for air conditioning and
specialized industrial processes).
9 High-temperature collectors are solar thermal collectors that generally operate at temperatures above
180 F. These are parabolic dish/trough collectors used primarily by the electric power sector to generate
electricity for the electric grid.

Renewable Energy
Note. Renewable Energy Production and Consumption. In Table 10.1, renewable energy consumption consists of: conventional hydroelectricity net generation
(converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate); geothermal electricity
net generation (converted to Btu using the geothermal plants heat rate), and
geothermal heat pump and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants
heat rate), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation
(converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate); wood and woodderived 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. 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).

R=Revised. NA=Not available.
Notes: Prices are those actually paid, i.e., net of rebates, and include transport costs and taxes which
are not refundable. Prices in national currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates
published by the International Monetary Fund. Prices for all countries, except the United States, have
been converted from dollars per liter to dollars per gallon at 3.785412 liters per gallon. Comparisons
2

between prices and price trends in different countries require care. They are of limited validity because of
fluctuations in exchange rates, differences in product quality, marketing practices, market structures, and
the extent to which the standard categories of sales are representative of total national sales for a given
period.

U.S. data are as of the end of 2008, one year later than the other data on this table.
Excludes countries that were part of the former U.S.S.R. See "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
(U.S.S.R.)" in Glossary.
3 Includes only countries that were part of the former U.S.S.R. See "Eurasia" and "Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.)" in Glossary.
Notes: Data are at end of year. World Energy Council data represent "proved recoverable
reserves," which are the tonnage within the "proved amount in place" that can be recovered (extracted from
the earth in raw form) under present and expected local economic conditions with existing, available
technology. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) does not certify the international reserves

data, but reproduces the information as a matter of convenience for the reader. U.S. reserves represent
estimated recoverable reserves from the Demonstrated Reserve Base, which includes both measured and
indicated tonnage. The U.S. term "measured" approximates the term "proved," used by the World Energy
Council. The U.S. "measured and indicated" data have been combined and cannot be recaptured as
"measured alone." Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

International Energy
Note 1. World Primary Energy Production. World primary energy production
includes production of crude oil (including lease condensate), natural gas plant
liquids, dry natural gas, and coal; and net electricity generation from nuclear electric
power, hydroelectric power, biomass and waste, geothermal, solar, tide, and wave,
and wind. Data for the United States also include other renewable energy. Crude oil
production is measured at the wellhead and includes lease condensate. Natural gas
plant liquids are products obtained from processing natural gas at natural gas processing plants, including natural gas plants, cycling plants, and fractionators. Dry
natural gas production is that amount of natural gas produced that is available to be
marketed and consumed as a gas. Coal (anthracite, bituminous coal, subbituminous
coal, and lignite) production is the sum of sales, mine consumption, issues to
miners, and issues to coking, briquetting, and other ancillary plants at mines. Coal
production data include quantities extracted from surface and underground mines
and normally exclude wastes removed at mines or associated preparation plants.
The data on generation of electricity from nuclear electric power, hydroelectric

344

power, biomass and waste, geothermal, solar, tide, and wave, and wind include data
reported on a net basis, thus excluding electricity that is generally used by the electric power plant for its own operating purposes or electricity losses in the transformers that are considered integral parts of the station.
Note 2. World Carbon Dioxide Emissions. In Table 11.19, data for carbon dioxide emissions include anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions from the consumption of petroleum, natural gas, and coal, and also from natural gas flaring. (They do
not include carbon dioxide emissions from geothermal power generation, cement
production and other industrial processes, and municipal solid waste combustion.)
Petroleum consumption statistics for each country have been reduced to account for
the fraction of sequestration of non-fuel uses. Carbon dioxide emissions have been
determined by applying carbon emission coefficients to the consumption and flaring
data. Carbon emission coefficients for petroleum, natural gas, and coal consumption
and natural gas flaring are from U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA),
Documentation for Emissions of Greenhouse Gases in the United States 2006
(October 2008), Tables 6.1 and 6.2.

1 Emissions of greenhouse gases are weighted based upon their relative global warming potential
(GWP), with carbon dioxide equal to a weight of one. See "Global Warming Potential" in Glossary.
2 Metric tons of carbon dioxide can be converted to metric tons of carbon equivalent by multiplying by
12/44.
3 Carbon dioxide data in this table differ from those for the United States in Table 11.19 because data in
this table: include emissions from electric power sector use of geothermal energy and non-biomass waste;
include emissions from the U.S. Territories; include emissions from cement manufacture, limestone
consumption, natural gas production, and other sources; and exclude emissions from bunker fuels.
4 U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from: fossil fuel combustion; the nonfuel use of fossil fuels; and electric
power sector use of geothermal energy and non-biomass waste. Geographic coverage is the 50 States
and the District of Columbia.
5 U.S. Territories energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. Geographic coverage is American Samoa,
Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Pacific Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Wake Island. According to the "United
Nations Framework on Climate Change" (UNFCC), emissions from the U.S. Territories are included in the
U.S. inventory.
6 U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from bunker fuels (marine, aviation, and military). According to the
UNFCC, emissions from bunker fuels are excluded from the U.S. inventory.
7 U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from: cement manufacture; limestone consumption; flaring of natural
gas at the wellhead, and carbon dioxide scrubbed from natural gas; soda ash manufacture and
consumption; carbon dioxide manufacture; aluminum manufacture; shale oil production; and waste

R=Revised. = Not applicable because these gases cannot be summed in native units.
Notes: HFCs = hydrofluorocarbons; PFCs = perfluorocarbons; and SF6 = sulfur hexafluoride.
Emissions are from anthropogenic sources. "Anthropogenic" means produced as the result of human
activities, including emissions from agricultural activity and domestic livestock. Emissions from natural
sources, such as wetlands and wild animals, are not included. Because of the continuing goal to improve
estimation methods for greenhouse gases, data are frequently revised on an annual basis in keeping with
the latest findings of the international scientific community. Revisions reflect updates to GWP estimates, as
well as to energy consumption data and updated emission factors, where applicable. For information on
units for measuring greenhouse gases, see http://www.eia.gov/oiaf/1605/ggrpt/pdf/0573(2008).pdf, page
12, box titled "Units for Measuring Greenhouse Gases." See Note, "Accounting for Carbon Dioxide
Emissions From Biomass Energy Combustion," at end of section. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

1 Metric tons of carbon dioxide can be converted to metric tons of carbon equivalent by multiplying by
12/44.
2 Natural gas, excluding supplemental gaseous fuels.
3 Petroleum, excluding biofuels.
4 Emissions from energy consumption (for electricity and a small amount of useful thermal output) in the
electric power sector are allocated to the end-use sectors in proportion to each sectors share of total
electricity retail sales. See Tables 8.9 and 12.2.
5 Includes coal coke net imports.
6 Beginning in 1978, the small amounts of coal consumed for transportation are reported as industrial
sector consumption.

1 Metric tons of carbon dioxide can be converted to metric tons of carbon equivalent by multiplying by
12/44.
2 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
3 Carbon dioxide emitted from energy inputs used to produce electricity (including associated losses),
derived by calculating the manufacturing subsector share of the electric power sectors total carbon dioxide
emissions based upon the weighted share of electricity retail sales to (receipts by) the manufacturing
subsector.
4 Includes all other types of energy that respondents indicated were consumed or allocated, such as
asphalt and road oil, lubricants, naphtha < 401 F, other oils >= 401 F, special naphthas, waxes, and
miscellaneous nonfuel products, which are nonfuel products assigned to the petroleum refining industry
group (NAICS 324110).
5 Data are in million metric tons of carbon dioxide per quadrillion Btu of energy (including allocated
electricity losses).
6 Data are in metric tons of carbon dioxide per million chained (2000) dollars.
(s)=Less than 0.05 million metric tons.

Notes: Data for this table from the "2006 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey" were not
available in time for publication. Data are estimates for the first use of energy for heat and power and as
feedstocks or raw material inputs. "First use" is the consumption of energy that was originally produced
offsite or was produced onsite from input materials not classified as energy. Minor revisions to the 2002
Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) consumption data have been made since the
estimates in this table have been computed. The revisions would likely not have a discernible effect on the
estimates shown. Electricity was converted from point-of-use to primary electricity using Table A6 of this
report. See Table 2.2 for manufacturing energy use. See Note, "Accounting for Carbon Dioxide
Emissions From Biomass Energy Combustion," at end of section. Totals may not equal sum of
components due to independent rounding.

human activities, including emissions from agricultural activity and domestic livestock. Emissions from
natural sources, such as wetlands and wild animals, are not included. Under certain conditions, methane
may be produced via anaerobic decomposition of organic materials in landfills, animal wastes, and rice
paddies. Because of the continuing goal to improve estimation methods for greenhouse gases, data are
frequently revised on an annual basis in keeping with the latest findings of the international scientific
community.

Environment
Note. Accounting for Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Biomass Energy
Combustion. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the combustion of biomass
to produce energy are excluded from the energy-related CO2 emissions reported in
the Annual Energy Review. 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 energyrelated 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.

364

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 non-energy 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 energyrelated 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.
According to the EIAs Annual Energy Outlook 2010, including direct CO2
emissions from biomass energy combustion would increase the 2008 total for
energy-related CO2 emissions by 353 million metric tons (6.1 percent). If in fact
these emissions are all offset by biological sequestration, the net emissions would be
zero as assumed in EIAs totals.

Appendix A
British Thermal Unit Conversion Factors
Using Thermal 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 Annual 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 percent to 10 percent, depending on the specific fuel and its hydrogen content.
Some fuels, such as unseasoned wood, can be more than 40 percent different in
their gross and net heat content rates. See Heat Content and British thermal unit
(Btu) in the Glossary for more information.
Thermal conversion factors for hydrocarbon mixes (Table A1) are weighted averages of the thermal conversion factors for each hydrocarbon included in the mix.
For example, in calculating the thermal conversion factor for a 60-40 butanepropane mixture, the thermal conversion factor for butane is weighted 1.5 times the
thermal conversion factor for propane.
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 are
labeled preliminary. Often, the previous years factor is used as the preliminary
value until data become available to calculate the factor appropriate to the year. The
source of each factor is described in the section entitled Thermal Conversion
Factor Source Documentation, which follows Table A6 in this appendix.

1 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 shown in Table A1.
2 Beginning in 1993, includes fuel ethanol blended into motor gasoline.
3 Beginning in 2009, includes renewable diesel fuel (including biodiesel) blended into distillate fuel oil.
4 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.
5 Electric power sector factors are weighted average heat contents for distillate fuel oil, petroleum coke,
and residual fuel oil; they exclude other liquids.
6 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 factorquantity-weighted averages of the major
components of liquefied petroleum gases are calculated by using heat content values shown in Table A1.
7 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 factorquantity-weighted averages of the major
components of motor gasoline, including fuel ethanol, are calculated by using heat content values shown in
Table A1.
8 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), pentanes plus used
as denaturant (4.620 million Btu per barrel), and conventional motor gasoline used as denaturant (5.253

million Btu per barrel). The factor for 2009 is used as the estimated factor for 1980-2008.
9 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, and 2.764 in 2009; 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.
10 Soybean oil input to the production of biodiesel (million Btu soybean oil per barrel biodiesel), used as
the factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the production of biodiesel. It is assumed that 7.65 pounds of
soybean oil are needed to produce one gallon of biodiesel, and 5.433 million Btu of soybean oil are needed
to produce one barrel of biodiesel. Soybean oil is assumed to have a gross heat content of 16,909 Btu per
pound, or 5.483 million Btu per barrel. Biodiesel is assumed to have a gross heat content of 17,253 Btu per
pound, or 5.359 million Btu per barrel.
R=Revised. P=Preliminary. E=Estimate. NA=Not available.
Notes: Residential and commercial petroleum heat contents are revised beginning in 1949 due to a
change in the estimation methodology for the physical data in Table 5.13a. The heat content values in
this table are for gross heat contents. See "Heat Content" in Glossary.
Web Page: For all data beginning in 1949, see http://www.eia.gov/emeu/aer/append_a.html.

1, data for renewable fuels and oxygenate plant net production of conventional
motor gasoline, multiplied by -1.
Fuel Ethanol Feedstock. EIA used corn input to the production of undenatured
ethanol (million Btu corn per barrel undenatured ethanol) as the annual factor to estimate total biomass inputs to the production of undenatured ethanol. U.S. Department
of Agriculture observed ethanol yields (gallons undenatured ethanol per bushel of corn)
were 2.5 in 1980, 2.666 in 1998, 2.68 in 2002, and 2.764 in 2009; EIA estimated the
ethanol yields in other years. EIA also assumed that corn has a gross heat content of
0.392 million Btu per bushel.

Approximate Heat Rates for Electricity


Electricity Net Generation, Fossil-Fueled Plants. There is no generally accepted
practice for measuring the thermal conversion rates for power plants that generate
electricity from hydro, wind, photovoltaic, or solar thermal 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 United States. By using that factor, it is
possible to evaluate fossil fuel requirements for replacing those sources during periods of interruption, such as droughts. The heat content of a kilowatthour of electricity produced, regardless of the generation process, is 3,412 Btu. 19491955: The
weighted annual average heat rate for fossil-fueled steam-electric power plants in
the United States, as published by EIA in Thermal-Electric Plant Construction
Cost and Annual Production Expenses1981 and Steam-Electric Plant
Construction Cost and Annual Production Expenses1978. 19561988: The
weighted annual average heat rate for fossil-fueled steam-electric power plants in
the United States, as published in EIA, Electric Plant Cost and Power Production Expenses 1991, Table 9. 19892000: Calculated annually by EIA by 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 steamelectric 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 fossil
fuels.
Electricity Net Generation, Geothermal Energy Plants. 19601981: Calculated annually by EIA by weighting the annual average heat rates of operating
geothermal units by the installed nameplate capacities as reported on Form FPC12, Power System Statement. 1982 forward: Estimated annually by EIA on
the basis of an informal survey of relevant plants.
Electricity Net Generation, Nuclear Plants. 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 reported on Form EIA-860,
Annual Electric Generator Report (and predecessor forms), and the generation
reported on Form EIA-923, Power Plant Operations Report (and predecessor
forms).

Appendix B. Metric Conversion Factors, Metric Prefixes,


and Other Physical Conversion Factors
Data presented in the Annual 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. However, because U.S. commerce
involves other nations, most of which use metric units of measure, the U.S.
Government is committed to the transition to the metric system, as stated in
the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 (Public Law 94168), amended by the
Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (Public Law 100418), and
Executive Order 12770 of July 25, 1991.

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).

1630-1930, February 1942. 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. 1850-1945: Energy in the American Economy, 1850-1975, Table VII.

Appendix E
Note: Geographic Coverage of Statistics for 1635-1945. Table E1 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

386

as Maine, Vermont, and the area that would become the District of Columbia. By
the time the series reaches 1810, the rest of the continental States are all included,
though 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 E1 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 Hydroelectric
PowerCoverage for 1890 and 1895 is uncertain, but probably the 48 contiguous
States and the District of Columbia. Coverage for 1900 through 1945 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: CH3-(CH2)n-OH (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and tertiary butyl alcohol). See Fuel Ethanol.

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.

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.

API: The American Petroleum Institute, a trade association.

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
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 1980s, anthracite refuse or mine waste has been used for steamelectric power generation. This fuel typically has a heat content of 15 million Btu
per short ton or less. See Coal Rank.

API Gravity: American Petroleum Institute measure of specific gravity of crude


oil or condensate in degrees. An arbitrary scale expressing the gravity or density of
liquid petroleum products. The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of degrees
API; it is calculated as follows: Degrees API = (141.5 / sp.gr.60 deg.F/60 deg.F) 131.5.
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.
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 D910 and Military Specification MIL-G-5572. Note: Data on blending components are not counted in data on finished aviation gasoline. See Jet Fuel;
Jet Fuel, Kerosene-Type; and Jet Fuel, Naphtha-Type.
Barrel (Petroleum): A unit of volume equal to 42 U.S. Gallons.

Anthracite Culm: Waste from Pennsylvania anthracite preparation plants,


consisting of coarse rock fragments containing as much as 30 percent small-sized
coal; sometimes defined as including very fine coal particles called silt. Its heat
value ranges from 8 to 17 million Btu per short ton.

Barrels per Calendar Day: The amount of input that a distillation facility can
process under usual operating conditions. The amount is expressed in terms of
capacity during a 24-hour period and reduces the maximum processing capability of

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2009

387

all units at the facility under continuous operation to account for the following limitations that may delay, interrupt, or slow down production: 1) the capability of
downstream processing units to absorb the output of crude oil processing facilities of a given refinery (no reduction is necessary for intermediate streams that
are distributed to other than downstream facilities as part of a refinerys normal
operation); 2) the types and grades of inputs to be processed; 3) the types and
grades of products expected to be manufactured; 4) the environmental constraints
associated with refinery operations; 5) the reduction of capacity for scheduled
downtime due to such conditions as routine inspection, maintenance, repairs, and
turnaround; and 6) the reduction of capacity for unscheduled downtime due to
such conditions as mechanical problems, repairs, and slowdowns.
Base Gas: The volume of gas needed as a permanent inventory to maintain
adequate underground storage reservoir pressures and deliverability rates
throughout the withdrawal season. All native gas 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.
Biomass: Organic nonfossil material of biological origin constituting a renewable
energy source. See Biodiesel, Biofuels, Biomass Waste, Fuel Ethanol, and Wood
and Wood-Derived Fuels.
Biomass Waste: Organic nonfossil 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 woodderived 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
388

steam-electric power generation, with substantial quantities also used for heat and
power applications in manufacturing and making 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). See Coal Rank.
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.
Breeze: The fine screenings from crushed coke. Usually breeze will pass through a
1/2-inch or 3/4-inch screen opening. It is most often used as a fuel source in the
process of agglomerating iron ore.
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
http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mer/append_a.html for further information on Btu conversion factors.)
Bunker Fuels: Fuel supplied to ships and aircraft, both domestic and foreign,
consisting primarily of residual fuel oil and distillate fuel oil for ships and
kerosene-type jet fuel for aircraft. The term international bunker fuels is used
to denote the consumption of fuel for international transport activities. Note: For
the purposes of greenhouse gas emissions inventories, data on emissions from
combustion of international bunker fuels are subtracted from national emissions
totals. Historically, bunker fuels have meant only ship fuel.
Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain or branched-chain hydrocarbon
(C4H10) extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams. It includes isobutane
and normal butane and is designated in ASTM Specification D1835 and Gas
Processors Association Specifications for commercial butane.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2009

Isobutane: A normally gaseous branched-chain hydrocarbon. It is a colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 10.9 degrees Fahrenheit. It
is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams.
Normal Butane: A normally gaseous straight-chain hydrocarbon. It is a
colorless paraffinic gas that boils at a temperature of 31.1 degrees Fahrenheit. It is extracted from natural gas or refinery gas streams.
Butylene: An olefinic hydrocarbon (C4H8) recovered from refinery processes.
Capacity: See Generator Capacity.
Capacity Factor: See Generator Capacity Factor.
Captive Coal: Coal produced to satisfy the needs of the mine owner, or of a parent,
subsidiary, or other affiliate of the mine owner (for example, steel companies and
electricity generators), rather than for open market sale. See Open Market Coal.
Carbon Dioxide: A colorless, odorless, non-poisonous gas (CO2) that is a normal
part of Earths 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).
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent: The amount of carbon dioxide by weight emitted
into the atmosphere that would produce the same estimated radiative forcing as a
given weight of another radiatively active gas. Carbon dioxide equivalents are
computed by multiplying the weight of the gas being measured (for example,
methane) by its estimated global warming potential (which is 21 for methane).
Carbon equivalent units are defined as carbon dioxide equivalents multiplied by
the carbon content of carbon dioxide (i.e., 12/44).
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 chained-dollar 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 more closely related to any given period covered and is therefore
subject to less distortion over time.
Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC): Any of various compounds consisting of carbon,
hydrogen, chlorine, and flourine used as refrigerants. CFCs are now thought to be
harmful to the Earths atmosphere.
City Gate: 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 to include
natural changes in climate as well as 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 Coal Rank.
Coal Coke: See Coke, Coal.
Coal Rank: The classification of coals according to their degree of progressive alteration from lignite to anthracite. In the United States, the standard ranks of coal include
lignite, subbituminous coal, bituminous coal, and anthracite and are based on fixed
carbon, volatile matter, heating value, and agglomerating (or caking) properties.
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 this 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, Coal: 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

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2009

389

smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Coke from coal is gray, hard, and porous and
has a heating value of 24.8 million Btu per short ton.
Coke, Petroleum: A residue high in carbon content and low in hydrogen that is the
final product of thermal decomposition in the condensation process in cracking. This
product is reported as marketable coke or catalyst coke. The conversion is 5 barrels
(of 42 U.S. gallons each) per short ton. Coke from petroleum has a heating value
of 6.024 million Btu per barrel.
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 Polices Act (PURPA). See
Electricity-Only Plant.
Commercial Building: A building with more than 50 percent of its floorspace used
for commercial activities. Commercial buildings include, but are not limited to,
stores, offices, schools, churches, gymnasiums, libraries, museums, hospitals,
clinics, warehouses, and jails. Government buildings are included, except buildings
on military bases or reservations.
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
above-mentioned commercial establishments. Various EIA programs differ in sectoral
coveragefor more information see
http://www.eia.gov/neic/datadefinitions/Guideforwebcom.htm.
See End-Use
Sectors and Energy-Use Sectors.
Completion (Crude Oil/Natural Gas Production): The term refers to the installation of permanent equipment for the production of crude oil or natural gas. If
a well is equipped to produce only crude oil or natural gas from one zone or
reservoir, the definition of a well (classified as a crude oil well or natural gas
well) and the definition of a completion are identical. However, if a well is
equipped to produce crude oil and/or natural gas separately from more than one
reservoir, a well is not synonymous with a completion.

390

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Natural gas compressed to a volume and


density that is practical as a portable fuel supply (even when compressed, natural gas
is not a liquid).
Conventional Hydroelectric Power: See Hydroelectric Power, Conventional.
Conventional Motor Gasoline: See Motor Gasoline, Conventional.
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/emeu/mer/append_a.html and
http://www.eia.gov/emeu/mer/append_b.html for further information on conversion
factors.) See Btu Conversion Factor and Thermal Conversion Factor.
Cooling Tower: A common type of environmental equipment installed at electric
power plants used to transfer heat, produced by burning fuel, to the atmosphere.
Cooling towers are installed where there is insufficient cooling water available or
where waste heat discharged into cooling water would affect marine life.
Criteria Pollutant: A pollutant determined to be hazardous to human health and
regulated under the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) National Ambient
Air Quality Standards. The 1970 amendments to the Clean Air Act require EPA to
describe the health and welfare impacts of a pollutant as the criteria for inclusion
in the regulatory regime.
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 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 Domestic 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.

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2009

Crude Oil Landed Cost: The price of crude oil at the port of discharge, including charges associated with purchasing, transporting, and insuring 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 Refiner Acquisition Cost: The cost of crude oil to the refiner, including transportation and other fees. The composite cost is the weighted average of
domestic and imported crude oil costs. The refiner acquisition cost does not
include the cost of crude oil purchased for the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

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 degreedays 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.

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 degree-day 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.

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

Still Gas (Refinery Gas): Any form or mixture of gases produced in refineries
by distillation, cracking, reforming, and other processes. The principal

constituents are methane, ethane, ethylene, normal butane, butylene,


propane, propylene, etc. Still gas is used as a refinery fuel and a petrochemical feedstock. The conversion factor is 6 million Btu per fuel oil equivalent
barrel.
Stocks: Inventories of fuel stored for future use. See Crude Oil Stocks, Coal
Stocks, and Petroleum Stocks, Primary.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR): Petroleum stocks maintained by the Federal
Government for use during periods of major supply interruption.
Subbituminous Coal: A coal whose properties range from those of lignite to
those of bituminous coal and used primarily as fuel for steam-electric power
generation. It may be dull, dark brown to black, soft and crumbly, at the lower
end of the range, to bright, jet black, hard, and relatively strong, at the upper
end. Subbituminous coal contains 20 to 30 percent inherent moisture by weight.
The heat content of subbituminous coal ranges from 17 to 24 million Btu per
short ton on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of subbituminous coal consumed in the United States averages 17 to 18 million Btu per short
ton, on the as-received basis (i.e., containing both inherent moisture and mineral
matter). See Coal Rank.
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): A toxic, irritating, colorless gas soluble in water, alcohol,
and ether. Used as a chemical intermediate, in paper pulping and ore refining, and
as a solvent.
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6): A colorless gas soluble in alcohol and ether, and
slightly less soluble in water. It is used as a dielectric in electronics. It possesses the
highest 100-year global warming potential of any gas (23,900).
Supplemental Gaseous Fuels: Any gaseous substance introduced into or commingled with natural gas that increases the volume available for disposition. Such
substances include, but are not limited to, propane-air, refinery gas, coke-oven
gas, manufactured gas, biomass gas, or air or inerts added for Btu stabilization.
Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG): (Also referred to as substitute natural gas.) A
manufactured product, chemically similar in most respects to natural gas, resulting
from the conversion or reforming of hydrocarbons that may easily be substituted
for or interchanged with pipeline-quality natural gas.
Thermal Conversion Factor: A factor for converting data between physical
units of measure (such as barrels, cubic feet, or short tons) and thermal units of
measure (such as British thermal units, calories, or joules); or for convertingdata between different thermal units of measure. See Btu Coversion Factor.

Total Energy Consumption: Primary energy consumption in the end-use


sectors, plus electricity retail sales and electrical system energy losses.

Unfractionated Stream: Mixtures of unsegregated natural gas liquid components,


excluding those in plant condensate. This product is extracted from natural gas.

Transportation Sector: An energy-consuming sector that consists of all vehicles


whose primary purpose is transporting people and/or goods from one physical
location to another. Included are automobiles; trucks; buses; motorcycles; trains,
subways, and other rail vehicles; aircraft; and ships, barges, and other waterborne
vehicles. Vehicles whose primary purpose is not transportation (e.g., construction
cranes and bulldozers, farming vehicles, and warehouse tractors and forklifts) are
classified in the sector of their primary use. Note: Various EIA programs differ in

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.): A political entity that consisted of 15


constituent republics: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and
Uzbekistan. The U.S.S.R. ceased to exist as of December 31, 1991.

Unaccounted-for Crude Oil: Represents the arithmetic difference between the


calculated supply and the calculated disposition of crude oil. The calculated
supply is the sum of crude oil production plus imports minus changes in crude oil
stocks. The calculated disposition of crude oil is the sum of crude oil input to
refineries, crude oil exports, crude oil burned as fuel, and crude oil losses.
Unaccounted-for Natural Gas: Represents differences between the sum of the
components of natural gas supply and the sum of components of natural gas
disposition. These 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 temperatures 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.
Underground Natural Gas Storage: The use of sub-surface facilities for storing
natural gas that has been transferred from its original location. The facilities are
usually hollowed-out salt domes, geological reservoirs (depleted crude oil or natural gas fields) or water-bearing sands topped by an impermeable cap rock (aquifer).
Undiscovered Recoverable Reserves (Crude Oil and Natural Gas): Those
economic resources of crude oil and natural gas, yet undiscovered, that are estimated to exist in favorable geologic settings.
Unfinished Oils: All oils requiring further processing, except those requiring only
mechanical blending. Unfinished oils are produced by partial refining of crude oil
and include naphthas and lighter oils, kerosene and light gas oils, heavy gas oils,
and residuum.
406

United States: The 50 States and the District of Columbia. Note: The United States
has varying degrees of jurisdiction over a number of territories and other political entities outside the 50 States and the District of Columbia, including Puerto Rico, the U.S.
Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, Johnston Atoll, Midway Islands, Wake Island,
and the Northern Mariana Islands. EIA data programs may include data from some or
all of these areas in U.S. totals. For these programs, data products will contain notes
explaining the extent of geographic coverage included under the term United States.
Uranium: A heavy, naturally radioactive, metallic element (atomic number 92). Its
two principally occurring isotopes are uranium-235 and uranium-238. Uranium-235
is indispensable to the nuclear industry because it is the only isotope existing in
nature, to any appreciable extent, that is fissionable by thermal neutrons. Uranium238 is also important because it absorbs neutrons to produce a radioactive isotope
that subsequently decays to the isotope plutonium-239, which also is fissionable by thermal neutrons.
Uranium Concentrate: A yellow or brown powder obtained by the milling of
uranium ore, processing of in situ leach mining solutions, or as a byproduct of
phosphoric acid production. See Uranium Oxide.
Uranium Ore: Rock containing uranium mineralization in concentrations that can
be mined economically, typically one to four pounds of U3O8 (uranium oxide) per
ton or 0.05 percent to 0.2 percent U3O8
Uranium Oxide: Uranium concentrate or yellowcake. Abbreviated as U3O8.
Uranium Resource Categories: Three categories of uranium resources defined by
the international community to reflect differing levels of confidence in the existence of
the resources. Reasonably assured resources (RAR), estimated additional resources
(EAR), and speculative resources (SR) are described below.
Reasonably assured resources (RAR): Uranium that occurs in known
mineral deposits of such size, grade, and configuration that it could be
recovered within the given production cost ranges, with currently proven
mining and processing technology. Estimates of tonnage and grade are
based on specific sample data and measurements of the deposits and on

U.S. Energy Information Administration / Annual Energy Review 2009

knowledge of deposit characteristics. Note: RAR corresponds to DOEs


uranium reserves category.
Estimated additional resources (EAR): Uranium in addition to RAR that
is expected to occur, mostly on the basis of geological evidence, in extensions of well-explored deposits, in little-explored deposits, and in undiscovered deposits believed to exist along well-defined geological trends
with known deposits. This uranium can subsequently be recovered within
the given cost ranges. Estimates of tonnage and grade are based on available sampling data and on knowledge of the deposit characteristics, as
determined in the best-known parts of the deposit or in similar deposits.
Note: EAR corresponds to DOEs probable potential resources category.
Speculative resources (SR): Uranium in addition to EAR that is thought
to exist, mostly on the basis of indirect evidence and geological extrapolations, in deposits discoverable with existing exploration techniques. The
location of deposits in this category can generally be specified only as
being somewhere within given regions or geological trends. The estimates
in this category are less reliable than estimates of RAR and EAR. Note:
SR corresponds to the combination of DOEs possible potential resources
and speculative potential resources categories.
Useful Thermal Output: The thermal energy made available in a combinedheat-and-power system for use in any industrial or commercial process, heating or cooling application, or delivered to other end users, i.e., total thermal energy
made available for processes and applications other than electricity generation.
U.S.S.R.: See Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.).
Vented Natural Gas: See Natural Gas, Vented.
Vessel Bunkering: Includes sales for the fueling of commercial or private boats,
such as pleasure craft, fishing boats, tugboats, and ocean-going vessels, including vessels operated by oil companies. Excluded are volumes sold to the U.S.
Armed Forces.
Waste: See Biomass Waste and Non-Biomass Waste.
Waste Coal: Usable material that is a byproduct of previous coal processing
operations. Waste coal is usually composed of mixed coal, soil, and rock (mine
waste). Most waste coal is burned as-is in unconventional fluidized-bed combustors. For some uses, waste coal may be partially cleaned by removing some extraneous noncombustible constituents. Examples of waste coal include fine coal,
coal obtained from a refuse bank or slurry dam, anthracite culm, bituminous gob,
and lignite waste.

Watt (W): The unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under a pressure of one
volt. A watt is equal to 1/746 horsepower.
Watthour (Wh): The electric energy unit of measure equal to one watt of power
supplied to, or taken from, an electric circuit steadily for one hour.
Wax: A solid or semi-solid material at 77 degrees Fahrenheit consisting of a
mixture of hydrocarbons obtained or derived from petroleum fractions, or
through a Fischer-Tropsch type process, in which the straight chained paraffin
series predominates. This includes all marketable wax, whether crude or refined,
with a congealing point (ASTM D 938) between 80 (or 85) and 240 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum oil content (ASTM D 3235) of 50 weight percent.
Well: A hole drilled in the Earth for the purpose of (1) finding or producing
crude oil or natural gas; or (2) producing services related to the production of
crude oil or natural gas. See Completion (Crude Oil/Natural Gas Production),
Crude Oil Well, Development Well, Dry Hole, Exploratory Well, and Natural
Gas Well.
Wellhead: The point at which the crude oil (and/or natural gas) exits the ground.
Following historical precedent, the volume and price for crude oil production are
labeled as wellhead, even though the cost and volume are now generally measured
at the lease boundary. In the context of domestic crude price data, the term wellhead
is the generic term used to reference the production site or lease property.
Wellhead Price: The value of crude oil or natural gas at the mouth of the well.
See Natural Gas Wellhead Price.
Well Servicing Unit: Truck-mounted equipment generally used for downhole services after a well is drilled. Services include well completions and recompletions,
maintenance, repairs, workovers, and well plugging and abandonments. Jobs range
from minor operations, such as pulling the rods and rod pumps out of a crude oil
well, to major workovers, such as milling out and repairing collapsed casing. Well
depth and characteristics determine the type of equipment used.
Western Europe: Includes Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Macedonia (The Former Yugoslav Republic of), Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey,
and the United Kingdom.
Wind Energy: Kinetic energy present in wind motion that can be converted to
mechanical energy for driving pumps, mills, and electric power generators.

and texture. Yellowcake typically contains 70 to 90 percent U3O8 (uranium
oxide) by weight. It is used as feedstock for uranium fuel enrichment and fuel
pellet fabrication.
