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

Georgia has a per capita Carbon Score of 25. Georgia has the 10th highest resident population. Each Georgia resident, per population average, produces approximately 21 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Georgia has a total Carbon output state rank of #11, and is the #11th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States.

Georgia has no fossil fuel resources but has substantial hydroelectric power resources located in several river basins. The industrial sector is the largest energy-consuming sector in the State, in part because Georgia is a leader in the energy-intensive wood and paper products industry. Energy consumption by the transportation sector is also high.
