Energy by the Numbers: GEORGIA

This fact sheet provides data on energy consumption, electricity generation, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Georgia, based on 2006 and 2005 statistics.

• In 2006, fossil fuels represented 78% of Georgia's state energy consumption, a decrease from 81% in 1990. The largest energy-consuming sector is electricity generation, and fossil fuels account for approximately 74% of electricity generation.
• Georgia's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions grew by 33% between 1990 and 2005, which was nearly double the average growth rate of the United States. This increase was primarily driven by the transportation and electric generation sectors.
• As of 2005, energy consumption was responsible for approximately 92% of Georgia's total GHG emissions, with the majority of these emissions resulting from the combustion of petroleum and coal.
