- Company Profile:
The direct process end use in which thermal or electric energy is converted into mechanical energy. Motors are found in almost every process in manufacturing. Therefore, when motors are found in equipment that is wholly contained in another end use (such as process cooling and refrigeration), the energy is classified there rather than in machine drive.
Industry:Energy
Interdepartmental service includes amounts charged by the electric department at tariff or other specified rates for electricity supplied by it to other utility departments.
Industry:Energy
Moist coal contains its natural inherent or bed moisture, but does not include water adhering to the surface. Coal analyses expressed on a moist basis are performed or adjusted so as to describe the data when the coal contains only that moisture that exists in the bed in its natural state of deposition and when the coal has not lost any moisture due to drying.
Industry:Energy
A volatile compound containing halogens, such as chlorine, fluorine or bromine.

The interest charges include interest on long-term debt, interest on debt of associated companies, and other interest expenses.
Industry:Energy
The water content of a substance (a solid fuel) as measured under specified conditions beingthe "dry basis," which equals the weight of the wet sample minus the weight of a (bone) dry sample divided by the weight of the dry sample times 100 (to get percent); "wet basis," which is equal to the weight ofthe wet sample minus the weight of the dry sample divided by the weight of the wet sample times 100.
Industry:Energy
An underground loading method by which coal is removed from the working face by manual labor through theuse of a shovel for conveyance to the surface. Though rapidly disappearing, it is still used in small-tonnage mines.
Industry:Energy
Naturally occurring molten rock, generated within the earth and capable of intrusion and extrusion, from which igneous rocks are thought to have been derived through solidification and related processes. It may or may not contain suspended solids (suchas crystals and rock fragments) and/or gas phases.
Industry:Energy
A panel established jointly in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program to assess the scientific information relating to climate change and to formulate realistic response strategies.
