US Renewable Energy Consumption by SourceDOE/EIA Annual Energy Survey, 2006

1) 24.7 Quads of energy used by industry…of this 20% to 50% is lost in the form of waste heat (DOE)2) Conventional hydroelectric power.3) Fuel ethanol and biodiesel consumption, plus losses and co-products from the production of fuel ethanol and biodiesel. 4) Municipal solid waste from biogenic sources, landfill gas, sludge waste, agricultural byproducts, and other biomass. Through 2000, also includes non-renewable waste (municipal solid waste from non-biogenic sources, and tire-derived fuels).
