New Jersey's Carbon Footprint


New Jersey Electricity Industry Summary Statistics (2005)
Demographics Energy Government Transportation

New Jersey Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| New Jersey Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint New Jersey has a per capita Carbon Score of 41. New Jersey has the 9th highest resident population. Each New Jersey resident, per population average, produces approximately 15 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. New Jersey has a total Carbon output state rank of #16, and is the #16th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. New Jersey has no fossil fuel reserves, but it does have high wind power potential located onshore and offshore along its Atlantic coast. Many New Jersey residents live in the greater metropolitan areas of New York City and Philadelphia and work out-of-State in those cities. Due in part to this dynamic, the average commute times for New Jersey workers are among the longest in the Nation, and the transportation sector leads State energy consumption. Residential and commercial energy demand is high. New Jersey's industrial energy consumption ranks near the National average, although the energy-intensive chemical manufacturing and petroleum refining industries are well represented in the State.
