This report presents estimates of the quantity and cost of purchased fuels and electric energy consumed by manufacturing plants in 1981. In 1981, the United States consumption of purchased fuels and electric energy for heat and power by manufacturing establishments was 11.6 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu's). Expenditures for fuels and electric energy during 1981 totaled $55.3 billion compared to $48.3 billion in 1980. Increases in expenditures for natural gas and electric energy accounted for most of this increase. The average cost per million Btu's of energy consumed in 1981 was $4.78, compared to $4.05 in 1980. The most expensive source of energy in 1981, as in the past, was purchased electric energy at $11.23 per million Btu's. Electric energy accounted for 46% of total expenditures, while at the same time accounting for only 20% of total energy consumed. The total Btu equivalent of fuel stocks (distillate and residual fuel oil, coal, coke, and LPG) on hand at manufacturing establishments at the end of 1981 amounted to 488.6 trillion Btu's or 5% of the total purchased fuels in 1981 (not including purchased electric energy). 141 pages of tabulated data.
