The additional cost of producing and/or transmitting electric energy above some previously determined base cost.
Industry:Energy
Costs not directly related to mining or milling operations, such as overhead, insurance, security, office expenses, property taxes, and similar administrative expenses.
Industry:Energy
One-millionth of a meter. It can also be expressed as 10-6 meter.
Industry:Energy
The Federal Reserve Boardcalculates this index by compiling indices of physical output from avariety of agencies and trade groups, weighting each index by the Census' value added, and adding it to the cost of materials. When physical measures are not available, the Federal Reserve Board uses the number of production workers or amount of electricity consumed as thebasis for the index. To convert industrial production into dollars, multiply by the "real value added" estimate used by the Federal ReserveBoard.
Industry:Energy
A household cooking appliance consisting of a compartment designed to cook or heat food by means of microwave energy. It may also have a browning coil and convection heating as additional features.
Industry:Energy
Land-use restrictions that constrain, postpone, or prohibit mining in order to meet other industrial needs or goals; for example, resources not mined due to safety concerns or due to industrial or societal priorities, such as to preserve oil or gas wells that penetrate the coal reserves; to protect surface features such as pipelines, power lines, or company facilities; or to preserve public or private assets, such as highways,railroads, parks, or buildings.
Industry:Energy
An energy-consuming sector that consists of all facilities and equipment used for producing, processing, or assembling goods. The industrial sector encompasses the following types of activity manufacturing (NAICS codes 31-33); agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting (NAICS code 11); mining, including oil and gas extraction (NAICS code 21); and construction (NAICS code 23). Overall energy use in this sector is largely for process heat and cooling and powering machinery, with lesser amounts used for facility heating, air conditioning, and lighting. Fossil fuels are also used as raw material inputs to manufactured products. Note: This sector includes generators that produce electricity and/or useful thermal output primarily to support the above-mentioned industrial activities.
Industry:Energy
A medium-temperature solar thermal collector, employed predominantly in water heating, which uses pumped liquid as the heat-transfer medium.
Industry:Energy
All petroleum products, natural gas liquids, biofuels, and liquids derived from other hydrocarbon sources (coal to liquids and gas to liquids). Not included are compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), and hydrogen.
Industry:Energy
A material that is a very poor conductor of electricity. The insulating material is usually a ceramicor fiberglass when used in the transmission line and is designed to support a conductor physically and to separate it electrically from other conductors and supporting material.
