Kansas: Net Energy Producer Scott W. White Sen. Roberts’ Energy Task Force Kansas Geological Survey May 24, 2000
Net Energy Production in Kansas Has Dropped from 880 to 13 Trillion BTU in 30 Years.
Except for a Few Years in the 1980’s, Kansas Has Always Been a Net Energy Producer.
In 30 Years, Kansas Energy Production Has Decreased from ~1,600 to <950 (10 12 ) BTU/Yr. 2% 48.5% 48% 1.5% 8% 28% 62% 2% 10.8% 22.0% 66.4% 0.8%
Currently, Natural Gas Comprises Over 2/3’s of Kansas Energy Production. Based on 1997 Data.
Electricity’s Share of Kansas Energy Consumption Has Increased from 13% to 33%. 33% 13%
Nearly 3/4ths of Kansas Electricity is Fueled by Coal. Based on 1997 data
Since the mid-1970’s Coal Consumption has Greatly Outpaced Production.
Kansas Petroleum Consumption Has Outpaced Production since 1974.
Natural Gas Production Continues to Outpace Consumption
Coal, Petroleum, and Natural Gas Account for 90% of Kansas Energy Consumption. Based on 1997 data
Over 40% of Kansas Energy is Imported from Other States. Based on 1997 Data. 58.8% 19.3% 21.9% Other States/ Countries Wyoming Kansas
A Combination of Increased Energy Production and Decreased Consumption Will Ensure Kansas’ Net Energy Production.
