Adapting Colorado’s Water Systems

Policies in Colorado focused on reducing CO2-emissions are increasingly dictating energy production, energy use, and energy prices.

Colorado is a major oil and gas producing state, producing nearly half a million barrels of oil per day and over 5 Billion Cubic Feet per day of natural gas.

This analysis details the impacts across the economy, public revenue, and GHG emissions, resulting from an oil and gas permitting ban outlined in SB24-159.

The Colorado Competitiveness Energy Index is based on 10 state-level, sector-specific data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
