20 Ohio "Quick Facts" from the Energy Information Agency Ø Oil and natural gas exploration in Ohio is focused on two shale plays: the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale. Ø Ohio had the seventh-largest crude oil refining capacity (530,000 b/d at four refineries) in the nation in Ohio is the seventh-largest ethanol producer in the nation. Ø Ohio is the 10th-largest coal-producer in the nation and the sixth-largest producer of bituminous coal. Coal fueled 67% of Ohio's net electricity generation in 2014, natural gas contributed 18%, and nuclear energy added another 12%. Ø Ohio is among the top 10 natural-gas-consuming states. The industrial and residential sectors are the largest consumers. Ø About two-thirds of Ohio households use natural gas for home heating. Natural gas use for electric power generation in Ohio has increased markedly in recent years as domestic natural gas production has increased. Ø Ohio's industrial sector ranked sixth in the nation in 2012 in energy consumption, and output from its factories accounted for 18% of the state's gross domestic product (GDP). Ohio contributed 3.4% to the total US manufacturing GDP in Ø Wind is Ohio's primary renewable energy resource, and net electricity generation from wind has increased dramatically since Ohio's first utility-scale wind farm was constructed in Bowling Green in Offshore wind-powered generation in Lake Erie is being explored, and a demonstration project called Icebreaker is in development northwest of Cleveland. 19
