1
Anthracite, bituminous, subbituminous, lignite, waste coal, and coal synfuel.
2
Distillate fuel oil, residual fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and waste oil.
3
Blast furnace gas, propane gas, and other manufactured and waste gases derived from fossil fuels.
4
Wood, black liquor, other wood waste, biogenic municipal solid waste, landfill gas, sludge waste, agriculture byproducts, other biomass, geothermal, solar thermal,
photovoltaic energy, and wind.
5
Non-biogenic municipal solid waste, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, tire-derived fuel, and miscellaneous technologies.
Notes: • Beginning with 2001 data, non-biogenic municipal solid waste and tire-derived fuels are reclassified as non-renewable energy sources and included in "Other".
Biogenic municipal solid waste is included in "Other Renewables." Beginning with the collection of Form EIA-923 in January 2008, the methodology for separating the fuel
used for electricity generation and useful thermal output from combined heat and power plants changed, and at plants that utilize multiple fuels, may have resulted in a
reallocation of the total plant generation accross those fuels. The new methodology was retroacitvely applied to 2004-2007. See the Technical Notes (Appendix C) for further
information. • See Glossary for definitions. • Values for 2010 and prior years are final. Values for 2011 are preliminary. See Technical Notes for a discussion of the sample
design for the Form EIA-923 and predecessor forms. • Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
