Summary: Energy Consumption History

Section 1 of this report gives an overview of energy consumption in the state of Arkansas, and compares Arkansas energy consumption to the nation as a whole. This section starts out by presenting the fuel consumption by fuel type for the year 2006, followed by tables that rank the energy consumption per capita and the energy consumption per dollar of state GDP. The section then charts trends in consumption by fuel type and sector and concludes with a look at CO2 emissions.

Projected data indicates that energy consumption in the US decreased by 0.3 percent from 2004 to 2005, while energy consumption in Arkansas increased by 0.3 percent during the same time period. Petroleum continues remain the major fuel consumed at the national and state level. At the state level, energy produced by nuclear and coal technologies has experienced incremental growth in the last few years. At both the national and state level, residential and commercial CO2 emissions have remained steady and low while, emissions from electric power generation and transportation continued to increase.

The complete tables detailing energy consumption for the state as a whole as well as by each economic sector can be found in the Consumption Data section of the appendix.
