North Dakota's Carbon Footprint


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

North Dakota Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| North Dakota Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint North Dakota has a per capita Carbon Score of 2. North Dakota has the 47th highest resident population. Each North Dakota resident, per population average, produces approximately 79 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. North Dakota has a total Carbon output state rank of #36, and is the #36th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. North Dakota has considerable fossil fuel reserves. Coal is extracted from large surface mines in central North Dakota. Substantial crude oil and natural gas reserves are located in the Williston Basin, in the western part of the State. Although a low population largely accounts for the State's low total energy consumption, North Dakota's per capita energy consumption ranks among the highest in the Nation, in large part due to high demand for heating during cold winters and an energy-intensive economy. Industry accounts for nearly one-half of the State's total energy consumption. EIA Release Date Information for North Dakota: US Department of Energy
