Manufacturing energy consumption survey: Consumption of energy, 1985. [Contains glossary]

OSTI ID:6949638

In recent years, industrial consumption of energy in the United States has been declining despite increasing industrial output. Nevertheless, total net energy consumption by the entire industrial sector was 20.4 quadrillion Btu (quads) in 1985, which was 37 percent of the US total for the residential, commercial, transportation, and industrial sectors. A clearer understanding of how energy is used in the industrial sector can help the Nation anticipate how future expansion of and change in the US industrial base might affect future energy requirements. The Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS) is designed to contribute to this understanding. This report, the first of a series based on the 1985 MECS, provides a comprehensive description of energy consumption by manufacturing industries in the United States. The MECS is the first survey conducted by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to collect detailed data on energy use by manufacturing industries. The MECS does not include energy consumption by mining, agriculture, construction, and electric utilities. Energy consumption by manufacturers is approximately 80 percent of the consumption of the entire industrial sector. 55 refs., 7 figs., 31 tabs.
