Section 2. Energy consumption by sector

Monthly Energy Review, June, 2004

Sources :

1973-1975: DOI, BOM, Minerals Yearbook, "Coke and Coal Chemicals" chapter.

1976-1980: EIA, Energy Data Report, "Coke and Coal Chemicals" annual.

1981: EIA, Energy Data Report, "Coke Plant Report," quarterly. 1982 forward: EIA, Quarterly Coal Report.

Note 6. Natural Gas: See Tables 4.4 and A4. For Section 2 calculations, lease and plant fuel consumption are included in the industrial sector, and pipeline fuel use of natural gas is included in the transportation sector. For 1973-1979, annual values for residential and commercial natural gas consumption are allocated to the months in proportion to the monthly sales data from the American Gas Association, "Monthly Gas Utility Statistical Report."

Note 7. Petroleum: Petroleum consumption in this section of the Monthly Energy Review (MER) is the series called "petroleum product supplied" from Section 3.

The sources for petroleum product supplied by product are:

1973-1975: DOI, BOM, Mineral Industry Surveys, "Petroleum Statement, Annual."

1976-1980: EIA, Energy Data Reports, "Petroleum Statement, Annual."

1981-2002: EIA, Petroleum Supply Annual.

2003 forward: EIA, Petroleum Supply Monthly.

Energy-use allocation procedures by individual product are as follows:

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

Asphalt--All consumption of asphalt is assigned to the industrial sector.

Distillate Fuel--Distillate fuel consumption is assigned to the sectors as follows:

Distillate Fuel Consumed by the Electric Power Sector, All Time Periods--For 1973-1979, consumption of distillate fuel is assumed to be the amount of petroleum (minus small amounts of kerosene and kerosene-type jet fuel deliveries) consumed in gas turbine and internal combustion plants. For 1980 forward, consumption of distillate fuel is assumed to be the amount of light oil (minus small amounts of kerosene deliveries through 1982) consumed by the electric power sector. See Table 7.3e.

Distillate Fuel Consumed by End-Use Sectors, Annually Through 2000--The aggregate end-use amount is total distillate fuel supplied minus the amount consumed for electric power. The end-use total consumed annually is allocated into the individual end-use sectors (residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation) in proportion to each sector's share of "adjusted sales" as reported in EIA's Fuel Oil and Kerosene Sales (Sales) report series (DOE/EIA-0535), which is based primarily on data collected by Form EIA-821, previously Form EIA-172. "Adjusted sales" are sales that have been adjusted to equal EIA distillate fuel product supplied.

Following are notes on the individual sector groupings:

Since 1979, the residential sector adjusted sales total is directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares.

Since 1979, the commercial sector adjusted sales total is directly from the Sales reports. Prior to 1979, each year's sales subtotal of the heating plus industrial category is split into residential, commercial, and industrial (including farm) in proportion to the 1979 shares.
