I found some data on manufacturing use of NG. eia.doe.gov As of 1994 the industrial demand category accounted for 40% of NG use. By my reckoning, industrial demand breaks down as: 30% chemicals 10% Petroleum refining 10% Primary metals 6% paper 24% other manufacturing 20% other industrial Interesting that the chemical industry accounts for 10 % of all NG use. Looks like manufacturing must account for 36% of all NG use. I'm sure everybody knows what has been happening to manufacturing activity recently.

Glad to see someone beat me to it. I suspect that 90% of the residual is for electric plants. I doubt most manufacturing would bother with it, but I dont know. Why is distillate demand still high? Trucking should be decreasing. It could be the energy marketers like DYN who own generating plants and trade fuel futures see something that we dont. Would it make sense to use your transportation capacity now to store NG instead of consume it in your plant?
