Alaska Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Alaska Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Alaska has a per capita Carbon Score of 3. Alaska has the 48th highest resident population. Each Alaska resident, per population average, produces approximately 71 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Alaska has a total Carbon output state rank of #37, and is the #37th highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Alaska has vast energy resources but low energy demand. Major oil and gas reserves are found in the Alaska North Slope (ANS) and Cook Inlet basins. The Alaska North Slope contains 14 of the 100 largest oil fields in the United States, and two of the largest natural gas fields. The North Slope's Prudhoe Bay field is the largest oil field in the country. Substantial coal deposits are found in Alaska's bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite coal basins. Alaska's numerous rivers offer some of the highest hydroelectric power potential in the country, and large swaths of the Alaskan coastline offer wind and geothermal energy potential. The oil and gas industry dominates the Alaskan economy, and production activities drive State energy demand. Nevertheless, overall State energy demand is low.
