Iowa

Quick Facts
  • Iowa is the nation’s largest fuel ethanol and biodiesel producer. It accounts for slightly more than one-fourth of U.S. fuel ethanol production capacity and almost one-fourth of biodiesel production capacity.
  • In 2023, wind turbines generated 59% of Iowa’s electricity, the highest wind power share for any state.
  • Iowa ranks among the 10 states with the highest electricity sales per capita and is among the 10 states with the lowest average electricity price.
  • Iowa is the only non-crude oil-producing state among the top 10 states in total energy consumption per capita.
  • Iowa is the fifth-largest consumer of hydrocarbon gas liquids, mostly propane–which is used for drying the state’s large harvested corn crop. One in eight Iowa households heats with propane, which is almost triple the national rate.

Washington has no natural gas reserves or production.93 However, the state has one underground natural gas storage field, the Jackson Prairie Gas Storage Facility located in western Washington. It has a total storage capacity of about 47 billion cubic feet.94,95,96 Canada supplies most of the natural gas that Washington uses. Almost two-thirds of the natural gas that enters the state comes from Idaho and most of that is originally from Canada
