Renewable Energy Trends in Consumption and Electricity 2008
"The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports detailed historical data on
renewable energy consumption and electricity annually in its report, the Renewable
Energy Annual. This report, Renewable Energy Trends in Consumption and Electricity,
2008, provides an overview and tables with historical data spanning as far back as 1989
through 2008, including revisions. These tables correspond to similar tables to be
presented in chapter 1 of the Renewable Energy Annual 2008 and are numbered
accordingly.

The renewable energy resources in the report include: biomass (wood and derived fuels,
municipal solid waste (MSW) biogenic, landfill gas, ethanol, biodiesel and other
biomass); geothermal; wind; solar (solar thermal and photovoltaic); and conventional
hydropower. Hydroelectric pumped storage is excluded, because it is usually based on
non-renewable energy sources..."
