Minnesota Electricity Industry Summary | Commercial Energy Statistics | Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics | Residential Energy Statistics | Minnesota Transportation Energy Statistics | Pollution Summary | Carbon Footprint

Minnesota has a per capita Carbon Score of 26. Minnesota has the 21st highest resident population. Each Minnesota resident, per population average, produces approximately 21 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Minnesota has a total Carbon output state rank of #22, and is the #22nd highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States.

Minnesota has no fossil fuel resources, but the western part of the State has wind energy potential, and cornfields in the south and west provide feedstock for ethanol production. Minnesota's population and total energy consumption place the State in the middle of national rankings. The industrial and transportation sectors lead State energy demand.
