2009 Cyber Collection of Energy Data Books: Transportation, Buildings, Biomass, and Power Technologies Petroleum, Vehicles, Alternative Fuels, Biodiesel, Solar, Much More (CD-ROM)

This electronic book on CD-ROM presents complete reproductions of four major Department of Energy energy data books: Transportation, Buildings, Biomass, and Power Technologies. Transportation: Designed for use as a desk-top reference, the data book represents an assembly and display of statistics and information that characterize transportation activity, and presents data on other factors that influence transportation energy use. The purpose of this document is to present relevant statistical data in the form of tables and graphs. This edition of the Data Book has 12 chapters which focus on various aspects of the transportation industry. Topics include: petroleum; energy; highway vehicles; light vehicles; heavy vehicles; alternative fuel vehicles; fleet vehicles; household vehicles; nonhighway modes; transportation and the economy; greenhouse gas emissions; and criteria pollutant emissions. Buildings: Contents include: Energy Consumption Data, Residential, Commercial Sector, Federal Buildings and Facilities, Electric Utility, Characteristics Data, Environmental Data, Carbon Emissions, Halocarbons, Economic Data, Market Data, Industrialized Housing, Existing Buildings Retrofits, Building Materials and Insulation, Windows, Heating, Cooling and Ventilation, Thermal Distribution, Active Solar, Quad Equivalents, Electricity Generation, Transmission, and Distribution, Low-Income Housing, Typical Appliance Usage, Average Household, Commercial Buildings, Educational Facilities. Biomass: Contents include: Acronyms, Introduction to Biomass, Biofuels, Ethanol, Biodiesel, BioOil, Biopower, Biorefineries, Feedstocks, Secondary Biomass Feedstocks, Oilseeds, Mill Wastes, Pellet Fuels, Tertiary Biomass Feedstocks, Urban Residues, Landfill Gas, Conversions, Biomass Characteristics. The purpose of this data book is to draw together, under one cover, biomass data from diverse sources to produce a comprehensive document that supports anyone with an interest or stake in the biomass industry. Power Technologies: The PTEDB is organized into 13 chapters: Introduction; Technology profiles; Electricity restructuring; Forecasts/comparisons; Electricity supply; Electricity capability; Electricity generation; Electricity demand; Prices; Economic indicators; Environmental indicators; Conversion factors; Geographic Information System (GIS) maps.
