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

Montana has a per capita Carbon Score of 7. Montana has the 44th highest resident population. Each Montana resident, per population average, produces approximately 36 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Montana has a total Carbon output state rank of #42, and is the #42nd highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States.

Montana is rich in fossil fuel resources and renewable energy potential. Its geologic basins hold more than one-fourth of the Nation's estimated recoverable coal reserves. Montana's eastern basins also hold large deposits of oil and gas. Rivers flowing from Montana's Rocky Mountains offer substantial hydroelectric power resources. Montana contains considerable wind energy potential throughout the State. Montana's population and total energy demand are low. However, the State economy is energy intensive and per capita energy consumption is relatively high. The industrial sector, which includes the energy-intensive mining industry, dominates State energy consumption.
