For the purposes of this report, the terms energy and primary energy are used
interchangeably. As defined by the US Energy Information Administration, primary
energy is the form of energy first accounted for before any conversion to secondary or
tertiary forms of energy. To recognize all primary energy consumed in the US, imports
of secondary and tertiary forms of energy are included in primary energy demand. To
avoid double-counting, market totals represent primary energy consumption only. For
example, the electric utility market represents the consumption of energy (eg, coal,
natural gas) to produce electricity, but retail sales of that electricity to the other markets
(eg, industrial, residential) are excluded.
To illustrate historical trends, total demand is provided in an annual series from 2003 to
2013; production and the various demand segments are reported at five-year intervals
for 2008 and 2013. Forecasts are developed via the identification and analysis of
pertinent statistical relationships and other historical trends/events as well as their
expected progression/impact over the forecast period. Changes in quantities between
reported years of a given total or segment are typically provided in terms of five-year
compound annual growth rates (CAGRs). For the sake of brevity, forecasts are
generally stated in smoothed CAGR-based descriptions to the forecast year, such as
demand is projected to rise 3.2% annually through 2018. The result of any particular
year over that period, however, may exhibit volatility and depart from a smoothed, longterm trend, as historical data typically illustrate.
Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided at five-year intervals with CAGRs for
i
the years corresponding to other reported figures. Other various topics, including
profiles of pertinent leading suppliers, are covered in this report. A full outline of report
items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
