This volume documents how mining energy consumption was estimated. This sector includes metal mining; anthracite and bituminous coal and lignite mining; oil and gas extraction; and mining of nonmetallic minerals. Mining is defined to include preliminary processing of minerals and ores at the mine site but to exclude smelting, refining, and processing operations associated with a manufacturing plant. Together these industries account for about 3% of U.S. energy consumption. About three-fourths of energy consumed in the mining sector is for oil and gas extraction. (MCW)
