* U.S. biofuels consumption in the transportation sector rose by 27% to a 4-percent share of total energy consumption in that sector.
The MER provides monthly and annual data on total energy production, consumption, and trade; energy prices; overviews of petroleum, natural gas, coal, electricity, nuclear energy, renewable energy, and international petroleum; carbon dioxide emissions; and data unit conversions.
