Determine Fuel Consumption
Coal—Coal sectoral (residential, commercial, coke plants, other industrial, transportation, electric power) consumption
data in thousand short tons are from MER Table 6.2. Coal sectoral consumption data are converted to trillion Btu by
multiplying by the coal heat content factors in MER Table A5.
Coal Coke Net Imports—Coal coke net imports data in trillion Btu are derived from coal coke imports and exports data in
MER Tables 1.4a and 1.4b.
Natural Gas (excluding supplemental gaseous fuels)—Natural gas sectoral consumption data in trillion Btu are from MER
Tables 2.2–2.6.
Petroleum—Total and sectoral consumption (product supplied) data in thousand barrels per day for asphalt and road oil,
aviation gasoline, distillate fuel oil, hydrocarbon gas liquids (HGL), jet fuel, kerosene, lubricants, motor gasoline,
petroleum coke, and residual fuel oil are from MER Tables 3.5 and 3.7a–3.7c. For the component products of HGL
(ethane/ethylene, propane/propylene, normal butane/butylene, isobutane/isobutylene, and natural gasoline [through
2021]) and "other petroleum" (aviation gasoline blending components, crude oil, motor gasoline blending components,
naphthas for petrochemical feedstock use, other oils for petrochemical feedstock use, special naphthas, still gas,
unfinished oils [through 2021], waxes, and miscellaneous petroleum products), consumption (product supplied) data in
thousand barrels per day are from EIA's Petroleum Supply Annual (PSA), Petroleum Supply Monthly (PSM), and earlier
publications (see sources for MER Table 3.5). Petroleum consumption data by product are converted to trillion Btu by
multiplying by the petroleum heat content factors in MER Tables A1 and A3.
Biomass—Sectoral consumption data in trillion Btu for wood, biomass waste, fuel ethanol (minus denaturant), and
biodiesel are from MER Tables 10.2a–10.2c.
