Energy consumption data base. Volume III, Chapter 4, Part 2. Paper and allied products, SIC 26. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5247630

This volume documents how consumption estimates for the paper industry were derived. This industry consumed one-ninth of total manufacturing energy consumed in the U.S. in 1974. Two aspects of the industry's fuel-use pattern set it apart from other industries. First, 39% of its 1974 consumption came from renewable forest fuels rather than gas, oil, or coal. Second, the paper industry consumes nearly one-third of all residual oil used in the manufacturing sector. (MCW)
