DESCRIPTION

Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions vary significantly across states. An analysis of state-level emissions data from 2000 through 2010 released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shows that the overall size of a state, as well as the available fuels, types of businesses, climate, and population density, play a role in both total and per capita emissions.

Overview Energy‐related carbon dioxide emissions vary significantly across states (Figure 1), whether considered on an absolute or per capita basis.  The overall size of a state, as well as the  available fuels, types of businesses, climate, and population density, play a role in both total and per capita emissions.   Additionally, each state’s energy system reflects circumstances specific to that state.   For example, some states are located near abundant hydroelectric supplies, while others contain abundant coal resources.  This paper presents a basic analysis of the factors that contribute to a state’s carbon dioxide profile.  This analysis neither attempts to assess the effect of state policies on absolute emissions levels or on changes over time, nor does it intend to imply that certain policies would be appropriate for a particular state. 

The term “energy‐related carbon dioxide emissions” as used in this paper, includes emissions released at the location where fossil fuels are used.  For feedstock application, carbon stored in products such as plastics are not included in reported emissions for the states where they are produced. 

It is also important to recognize that the state‐level carbon dioxide emissions data presented in this paper count emissions based on the location where the energy is consumed as a fuel.  To the extent that fuels are used in one state to generate electricity that is consumed in another state, emissions are attributed to the former rather than the latter.  An analysis that attributed “responsibility” for emissions with consumption rather than production of electricity, which is beyond the scope of the present paper, would yield different results.   

Total state emission levels Over the time period from 2000 to 2010, carbon dioxide emissions fell in 32 states and rose in 18 states (Table 1).    The greatest percentage decrease in carbon dioxide emissions occurred in Delaware at 27.9 percent, (4.5 million metric tons).  The greatest absolute decline was 58.8 million metric tons in Texas (8.3 percent).  New York experienced a decline of 38.6 million metric tons (18.3 percent).  The greatest percentage increase was in Nebraska at 16.0 percent (6.6 million metric tons), while Colorado experienced the greatest absolute increase (11.8 million metric tons or 13.9 percent).

From 2009 to 2010, only 14 states saw a decrease in emissions.  The United States was rebounding from the recession and emissions from consumption of energy was up in most states.  Because of differences in data aggregations it is difficult to compare the total for all states with the total for the United States.  See the Appendix for  a comparison of levels of data detail between the state and national data systems. 

Emissions by fuel States exhibit very different emissions profiles by fuel type (Table 2).  For example, in 2010, coal consumption accounted for 80.8 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in West Virginia.  In California, 65.2 percent of carbon dioxide emissions came from petroleum, while only 1.4 percent came from coal.  Rhode Island had no emissions from coal consumption, but 46.1 percent of its emissions were from natural gas.  Vermont’s share of carbon dioxide emissions from petroleum was 92.5 percent and Hawaii’s share was 91.4 percent in 2010.  No other states exceeded 80 percent in terms of the share of emissions from petroleum;  Maine’s petroleum share was 75.6 percent. 

Emissions by sector There can also be significant variations in terms of carbon dioxide emissions by sector (Tables 3 and 4) – 

even for states that have similar fuel emissions’ profiles.   These variations are due to factors such as the 

use of different fuels for electricity generation, climate, and sources of economic outputs (e.g., 

commercial versus industrial activity).  For example, in Vermont the largest share of emissions in 2010 

came from the transportation sector (58.7 percent), predominantly from petroleum, but the electric 

power sector share is small (0.1 percent) because of Vermont’s reliance on nuclear power.  Vermont’s 

residential sector share was 22.1 percent – indicative of a relatively cold climate where petroleum is the 

main heating fuel.  Hawaii, where a dominant share of emissions is also from petroleum, has a 

residential share of 0.3 percent – the lowest in the United States because of minimal heating  and 

cooling requirements.  The largest sector emissions share in Hawaii, like Vermont, was from the 

transportation sector (49.3 percent).  However, unlike Vermont, Hawaii’s electric power sector share 

nearly as high (40.1 percent).  The dominant fossil fuel for the generation of electricity in Hawaii is 

petroleum.   

Per capita carbon dioxide emissions Another useful way to compare total carbon dioxide emissions across states is to divide them by state 

population and examine them on a per capita basis (Table 5 and Figure 2).  Many factors contribute to 

the amount of emissions per capita, including: climate, the structure of the state economy, population 

density, energy sources, building standards and explicit state policies to reduce emissions.   The 2010 

carbon dioxide emissions in Wyoming were 118.5 metric tons per capita, the highest in the United 

States.  In 2010, Wyoming was the second largest energy producer in the United States.  Unlike the 

largest energy producer, Texas, that has a population of 25 million, Wyoming has less than 600 thousand 

people giving Wyoming the lowest population density in the lower‐48 states.1 Its winters are cold (the 

average low temperatures in January are in the 5 to 10 degree Fahrenheit range2 ).  These factors act to 

raise Wyoming’s per capita emissions compared to other states.  The second highest state per capita 

carbon dioxide emissions level was North Dakota at 80.4 metric tons per capita.  Alaska (54.6 metric 

tons per capita),  West Virginia (54.2 metric tons per capita) and Louisiana (49.3 metric tons per capita)

round out the top five states in terms of per capita carbon dioxide emissions.  All of these are fossil‐

energy‐producing states.  The activity of producing energy is itself energy intensive.

The State of New York, with a population of 19.6 million people, had the lowest per capita carbon 

dioxide emissions – 8.8 metric tons per capita.  A large portion of the population is located in the New 

York City metropolitan area where mass transit is readily available and most residences are multi‐family 

units that provide efficiencies of scale in terms of energy for heating and cooling.   The New York 

economy is oriented towards high‐value, low‐energy‐consuming activities such as financial markets.  For 

example, in 2010 New York contained 6.3 percent of the U.S. population, but consumed only 1.1 percent 

of the country’s industrial energy.3   New York’s energy prices are relatively high (the average retail 

electricity price of 16.41 cents per kWh was third highest in the country in 2010), which in turn 

encourages energy savings.4   The second lowest per capita carbon emitting state (9.7 metric tons per 

capita) was Vermont.  As mentioned above, Vermont had almost no emissions from its electric power 

sector.    Other states with relatively low per capita emissions rates include: California (9.9 metric tons 

per capita), Idaho and Oregon (both 10.4 metric tons per capita). 

Energy intensity The energy intensity of a state, as measured by the amount of energy consumed per unit of economic 

output or, specifically, British thermal units per dollar of a state’s gross domestic product  (Btu/GDP), 

plays an important role in its overall emissions profile (Table 6). The states with the highest rates of 

emissions per capita in 2010 also had the higher energy intensity values:  Wyoming (24.6 thousand Btu 

per dollar), North Dakota (22.8 thousand Btu per dollar) and West Virginia (21.6 thousand Btu per 

dollar).  Delaware had the lowest energy intensity (3.3 thousand Btu per dollar), followed by New York 

(3.5 thousand Btu per dollar), Massachusetts, and Connecticut (both 3.7 thousand Btu per dollar).  With

the exceptions of California and Hawaii, the states with the lowest energy intensity are clustered in the 

relatively densely populated New England and Central‐Atlantic.  The 2010 national average is 7.5 

thousand Btu per dollar of GDP.   

Carbon intensity of the energy supply The carbon intensity of energy supply (CO2/Btu) is reflective of the energy fuel mix within a state.  As 

with energy intensity, the states with high carbon intensity of energy supply tend to be the states with 

high per capita emissions.  The top five states in 2010 for the energy carbon intensity as measured in 

kilograms of carbon dioxide per million Btu (kg CO2/MMBtu) —West Virginia (81.7 kg CO2/MMBtu), 

Kentucky (77.2 kg CO2/MMBtu), Wyoming (76.8 kg CO2/MMBtu), Indiana (75.1 kg CO2/MMBtu), and 

North Dakota (73.6 kg CO2/MMBtu)— are all states with coal as the dominant fuel (Table 7).  The 

national average carbon intensity of the energy supply in 2010 was 57.6 kg CO2/MMBtu.  The states with 

lower carbon intensity tend to be those states with relatively substantial non‐carbon electricity 

generation such as hydropower or nuclear.  These states include, for example, Vermont (34.5 kg 

CO2/MMBtu), Washington (37.4 kg CO2/MMBtu), Oregon (39.1 kg CO2/MMBtu), Idaho (41.2 kg 

CO2/MMBtu) and New Hampshire (41.5 kg CO2/MMBtu). 

Carbon intensity of the economy Another measure, the overall carbon intensity of the economy (CO2/dollar of state GDP), combines 

energy intensity with the carbon intensity of that energy supply.   As one would expect, the states with 

the highest carbon intensity of their economies (Table 8) as measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide 

per million dollars of state GDP (mt CO2/million dollars of GDP) are also the states with the highest 

values of energy intensity and carbon intensity of that energy supply.  In 2010 these states included:  

Wyoming (1,886 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP), West Virginia (1,767 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP) 

North Dakota (1,681 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP), Louisiana (1,145 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP), 

and Montana (1,098 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP).  The 2010 U.S. average is 430 mt CO2/ million 

dollars of GDP.  The states with the lowest carbon intensity of economic activity are also states that 

appear on the lower end of both energy intensity and the carbon intensity of that energy supply.  These 

states include:   New York (167 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP), Connecticut (175 mt CO2/ million dollars 

of GDP), Delaware (209 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP), Massachusetts (213 mt CO2/ million dollars of 

GDP), and California (214 mt CO2/ million dollars of GDP). 

Electricity trade Because this analysis does not account for electricity trade, it is important to understand how much this 

can influence a state’s carbon dioxide emissions profile.  The Net Electricity Trade Index (Table 9) 

indicates whether a state is self sufficient in the generation of electricity in a given year (a value of 1.0); 

is a net importer of electricity in a given year (a value of less than 1.0); or is a net exporter of electricity 

in a given year (a value greater than 1.0).  As indicated in Table 9, over half of the 10 states with the 

highest per capita emissions the states are net exporters of electricity in at least some years.  In 

particular, Wyoming, North Dakota, West Virginia and Montana are large electricity exporters of power 

produced predominantly with coal.  New Mexico is also a net exporter of electricity.   Oklahoma is a net 

exporter, but its dominant fuel is natural gas.  Indiana is a small exporter in some years, but was export‐

neutral in 2009 and 2010.  Kentucky, like Indiana is a coal‐fueled generation state, but has been export‐

U.S. Energy Information Administration   |   State‐Level Energy‐Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000‐2010  5 

neutral in recent years.  Louisiana, the only state of high per capita emitters that is consistently a net 

importer of electricity, and Alaska  a state that is an importer in some years, but export‐neutral in most, 

are both fossil‐fuel producing states with a large energy‐intensive component of their economies.     

Four of the ten states with the lowest per capita carbon dioxide emissions are consistent importers of 

electricity:  Idaho, California, Massachusetts, and Florida.  Rhode Island was an electricity exporter in 

2001 and was self sufficient in 2000, 2008, 2009, and 2010. In the other years Rhode Island was an 

importer of electricity (about 40 percent in 2004).  Idaho generates its electricity principally with 

hydroelectric power and has historically imported 50 percent or more of its electricity from other states.  

California consistently imports about 30 percent of its electricity and natural gas is the dominant fuel for 

the electricity that it generates internally.  Both Massachusetts and Florida also use natural gas as the 

dominant fuel for electricity generation. 

New York, which is self sufficient many years and a slight importer in other years, generates a dominant 

share of its electricity with nuclear power.   Vermont, which is a consistent exporter of electricity, is also 

a state dominated by nuclear power generation.  Connecticut, also a nuclear power producer, is a slight 

exporter in some years, an importer in others and self sufficient in yet others.  Both Oregon and 

Washington are usually either self sufficient or net exporters.  However, in 2001, which was a 

particularly bad year for hydroelectric generation in the Pacific Northwest, both states were net 

importers of electricity. 

If the emissions associated with the generation of electricity were allocated to the states where that 

electricity is consumed, in many cases, the emissions profiles of both the producing and consuming 

states would change.
