What's New In Annual Energy Review 2002

Table 1.3, "Energy Consumption by Source, 1949-2002" and Table 2.1f "Electric Power Sector Energy Consumption, 1949-2002" have been modified by combining electricity net imports derived from fossil fuels and renewable sources into one category with their sources unspecified. EIA previously 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). EIA no longer has adequate data to estimate the proportions by source and is now applying an overall rate of 3,412 Btu per kilowatthour to all traded electricity.
See Note 1 at the end of Section 1.

Table 1.5, “Energy Consumption, Expenditures, and Emissions Indicators, 1949- 2002" has been modified by the addition of emissions indicators.

Table 10.2b "Renewable Energy Consumption: Electric Power Sector and Total, 1949-2002" has been modified by taking electricity net imports that are derived from hydroelectric power and geothermal energy out of the renewable energy consumption total. Those quantities continue to be included in total U.S. energy consumption as components of electricity net imports, with fuel sources unspecified. The change results in a 0.0-to-0.5 quadrillion Btu drop in total renewable energy consumption from 1949 forward.

These tables have been added this year:

Table 8.3a, "Consumption of Combustible Fuels for Electricity Generation and Useful Thermal Output at Electricity-Only and Combined-Heat-and-Power Plants: Total (All Sectors), 1989-2002."

Table 12.7, “Emissions From Energy Consumption for Electricity and Useful Thermal Output at Electricity-Only and Combined-Heat-and-Power Plants, 1989-2001.”
