Oregon's Carbon Footprint


Oregon Electricity Industry Summary Statistics (2005)
Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Oregon Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Oregon Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Oregon has a per capita Carbon Score of 45. Oregon has the 28th highest resident population. Each Oregon resident, per population average, produces approximately 12 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Oregon has a total Carbon output state rank of #41, and is the #41st highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Oregon has few conventional energy resources but is rich in renewable energy potential. The Columbia River in the north and several smaller waterways flowing from the Cascade Mountains give Oregon some of the highest hydroelectric power potential in the United States. Much of the State has considerable wind power potential. The geologically active basin and range country in southeastern Oregon, as well as the Cascades in western Oregon, are promising sites for geothermal energy development. Oregon's total energy consumption is low, although the State is a leader in the energy-intensive forest products industry. The transportation sector is the leading energy-consuming sector in Oregon, followed closely by the industrial and residential sectors.
