  • Online: http://eia.doe.gov/emeu/mecs/mecs2006/2006tables.html
  • Because energy data is crucial to your project, your data for other factors (pollutants, production, etc.) should match up to these same years.
  • See http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/mecs/contents.html for a description of the survey and links to reports and tables.
  • NOTE: Some online tables (1991 & 1994) are provided only as Lotus 123 files, and must be downloaded and then opened with Excel.
  • Printed copies of tables for all years are available in notebooks on Gov Pubs Hold Shelf.

 

 

*Table numbers for 1998, 1994, and 1991 do not correspond to the table numbers on the master table for 2002. This means tables you open for these years will display a different table number inside the document. The table numbers that will appear inside the document are provided in the last 3 columns, below.
