Demographics Energy Government Transportation

Rhode Island Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Rhode Island Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Rhode Island has a per capita Carbon Score of 49. Rhode Island has the 43rd highest resident population. Each Rhode Island resident, per population average, produces approximately 11 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Rhode Island has a total Carbon output state rank of #49, and is the #49th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Rhode Island's energy resources include fuelwood potential in the south and wind power resources on Block Island, off the State's Atlantic Coast. The Rhode Island economy is one of the least energy intensive in the Nation, and Rhode Island ranks last among the States in per capita energy consumption. Industrial energy consumption is low, and the residential sector is Rhode Island's leading energy consumer. EIA Release Date Information for Rhode Island: US Department of Energy
