What Air Emissions Are Caused by the Electricity I Use?

The table below presents the estimated pounds of air emissions attributable to the electricity you use in your home or business during one year, along with a description of what these numbers mean in everyday terms. It also repeats the earlier chart that compares your region's air emissions rates to the national average.

2) What Do these Numbers Mean in Real Terms?

To find out what the amount of carbon dioxide emissions listed above means in terms of vehicles driven for a year, gallons of gasoline burned, number of trees planted, or other equivalents, enter your carbon dioxide results from above - 278,624 pounds - into Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator

Note: Be sure to enter this number on the first entry line of the Calculator, change the units from tons to pounds, then select the "calculate" button.

Emissions Rate Comparison

3) What Are the Emissions in My Area?

This chart compares the average emissions rates (lbs/MWh) in your geographical region to the national average emissions rates (lbs/MWh) for nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide

	Your Region’s Emissions Rate (lbs/MWh)	National Average Emissions Rate (lbs/MWh)
Nitrogen Oxide:	1.0	2.1
Sulfur Dioxide	2.4	5.4
Carbon Dioxide	909	1363
