Iowa's Carbon Footprint


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

Iowa Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Iowa Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Iowa has a per capita Carbon Score of 15. Iowa has the 30th highest resident population. Each Iowa resident, per population average, produces approximately 27 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Iowa has a total Carbon output state rank of #28, and is the #28th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Iowa has few conventional fossil energy resources but is rich in renewable energy potential. Iowa leads the Nation in production both of corn and of ethanol made from corn. The wind power potential harnessed in northwest Iowa places the State among the leading producers of electricity from wind energy. The industrial sector leads State energy consumption. Iowa's population is low and its economy is relatively energy intensive, resulting in high per-capita energy consumption. EIA Release Date Information for Iowa: US Department of Energy
