Wyoming Electricity Industry Summary \| Commercial Energy Statistics \| Industrial Energy Consumption Statistics \| Residential Energy Statistics \| Wyoming Transportation Energy Statistics \| Pollution Summary \| Carbon Footprint Wyoming has a per capita Carbon Score of 1. Wyoming has the 50th highest resident population. Each Wyoming resident, per population average, produces approximately 127 Tons of Carbon Dioxide each year. Wyoming has a total Carbon output state rank of #31, and is the #31st highest Carbon Dioxide polluting state in the United States. Wyoming's major geologic basins contain some of the largest fossil fuel deposits in the United States. Wyoming's estimated recoverable coal reserves are second only to Montana's, its dry natural gas reserves are second only to those in Texas, and its crude oil reserves are among the largest in the Nation. Wyoming has over a dozen of the Nation's largest oil and gas fields, including the Pinedale and Jonah natural gas fields, which rank among the top 10 in the country. Wyoming has substantial wind power potential. The Southern Wyoming Corridor, where a gap in the Rocky Mountains channels strong winds across the plains, is ideally suited for wind power development. Wind power resources also exist in the northwestern part of the State. Although Wyoming's aggregate energy demand is low, per capita energy consumption is the second highest in the Nation due to an energy-intensive economy that is dependant on fossil fuel extraction, processing, and transportation. The industrial sector, which includes Wyoming's mining, oil, and gas industries, is the State's leading consumer of energy. EIA Release Date Information for Wyoming: US Department of Energy
