South Carolina's Carbon Footprint


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

South Carolina Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| South Carolina Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint South Carolina has a per capita Carbon Score of 28. South Carolina has the 26th highest resident population. Each South Carolina resident, per population average, produces approximately 20 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. South Carolina has a total Carbon output state rank of #27, and is the #27th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. South Carolina's only substantial energy resource is its system of rivers and lakes, which offers potential for hydroelectric power generation. Driven in part by the energy-intensive chemical manufacturing industry, South Carolina's industrial sector accounts for approximately two-fifths of State energy consumption.
