Estimated US Energy Use in 2011

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Estimated U.S. Energy Use in 2011: ~97.3 Quads Net Electricity Imports 0.127 Solar 0.0175 0.158 8.26 12.6 Nuclear Electricity 26.6 7.74 8.26 Generation Rejected Energy 55.6 39.2 3.15 18.0 Hydro 3.17 2.29 1.17 4.86 Wind 1.17 Residential 0.163 9.15 0.140 11.4 Geothermal 0.0396 1.14 0.430 0.226 4.83 1.72 0.0197 4.50 Natural Commercial Gas 6.87 8.59 24.9 3.23 Energy 0.683 Services 0.0179 0.0512 41.7 4.72 3.33 0.110 Coal 8.32 Industrial 19.7 23.6 18.9 8.06 1.61 2.27 0.444 Biomass 20.3 4.41 1.15 0.0260 0.288 0.735 Trans- portation 27.0 25.1 Petroleum 6.76 35.3 Source: LLNL 2012. Data is based on DOE/EIA-0384(2011), October, 2012. If this information or a reproduction of it is used, credit must be given to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Department of Energy, under whose auspices the work was performed. Distributed electricity represents only retail electricity sales and does not include self-generation. EIA reports flows for non-thermal resources (i.e., hydro, wind and solar) in BTU-equivalent values by assuming a typical fossil fuel plant "heat rate." The efficiency of electricity production is calculated as the total retail electricity delivered divided by the primary energy input into electricity generation. End use efficiency is estimated as 80% for the residential, commercial and industrial sectors, and as 25% for the transportation sector. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding. LLNL-MI-410527
