Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Massachusetts Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Massachusetts Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Massachusetts has a per capita Carbon Score of 42. Massachusetts has the 13th highest resident population. Each Massachusetts resident, per population average, produces approximately 14 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Massachusetts has a total Carbon output state rank of #25, and is the #25th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Massachusetts has no fossil fuel reserves but does possess substantial renewable energy resources. The State's Atlantic coast in the east and the Berkshire Mountains in the west offer considerable wind power potential, and much of the State is covered in dense forest, offering potential fuelwood resources. Massachusetts is the most densely populated State in New England. Per capita energy consumption is low and the Massachusetts economy is one of the least energy intensive in the Nation. The residential and transportation sectors lead State energy consumption. EIA Release Date Information for Massachusetts: US Department of Energy
