Arizona's Carbon Footprint

United States Nuclear Energy Usage
Arizona Electricity Industry Summary | Commercial Energy Statistics | Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics | Residential Energy Statistics | Arizona Transportation Energy Statistics | Pollution Summary | Carbon Footprint

Arizona has a per capita Carbon Score of 36. Arizona has the 20th highest resident population. Each Arizona resident, per population average, produces approximately 17 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Arizona has a total Carbon output state rank of #24, and is the #24th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States.

Arizona has substantial coal deposits but few other fossil fuel resources. The coal deposits are concentrated in the Black Mesa Basin in the northeast part of the State. Arizona has one nuclear power plant and extensive solar energy potential. Its large desert areas offer the highest solar power potential in the country, and the Colorado River is a tremendous source of hydropower. While Arizona ranks near the middle of the States in total energy consumption, per capita energy consumption is low, and the State economy is not energy intensive. The transportation sector is the leading energy-consuming sector in the State.
