North Carolina's Carbon Footprint


North Carolina Electricity Industry Summary Statistics (2005)
Demographics Energy Government Transportation

North Carolina Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| North Carolina Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint North Carolina has a per capita Carbon Score of 34. North Carolina has the 11th highest resident population. Each North Carolina resident, per population average, produces approximately 18 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. North Carolina has a total Carbon output state rank of #12, and is the #12th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. North Carolina energy resources include several rivers in western and central North Carolina that provide substantial hydropower resources and high wind power potential off the State's Atlantic Coast. North Carolina's industrial sector leads State energy consumption by a small margin, followed closely by the transportation, commercial, and residential sectors. North Carolina is a leader in the energy-intensive chemical manufacturing industry. EIA Release Date Information for North Carolina: US Department of Energy
