South Dakota's Carbon Footprint


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

South Dakota Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| South Dakota Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint South Dakota has a per capita Carbon Score of 35. South Dakota has the 46th highest resident population. Each South Dakota resident, per population average, produces approximately 18 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. South Dakota has a total Carbon output state rank of #48, and is the #48th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. South Dakota has few fossil fuel reserves but has substantial renewable energy potential. Small crude oil and natural gas reserves are concentrated in the western corners of the State. South Dakota's renewable energy potential includes flat open areas for wind power, the Missouri River for hydroelectric power, corn produced in the eastern part of the State for ethanol production, and geothermal resources located in the south-central part of the State. As one of the least-populated States, South Dakota has low energy demand. EIA Release Date Information for South Dakota: US Department of Energy
