Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Illinois Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Illinois Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Illinois has a per capita Carbon Score of 30. Illinois has the 5th highest resident population. Each Illinois resident, per population average, produces approximately 19 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Illinois has a total Carbon output state rank of #7, and is the #7th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Illinois estimated recoverable coal reserves rank third in the United States, behind Montana and Wyoming. Coal deposits, as well as smaller deposits of oil and gas, are concentrated in the Illinois Basin, which underlies much of the southern and eastern parts of the State. In addition to fossil fuel reserves, Illinois has high ethanol potential as its production of corn, which is the primary feedstock for U.S. ethanol production, ranks second in the country behind Iowa. Illinois is one of the Nation's top energy-consuming States, primarily due to its large population and high demand from the industrial sector, which includes the energy-intensive aluminum, chemicals, metal casting, petroleum refining, and steel industries.
