List of U.S. states by carbon dioxide emissions

This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity. The data presented below are energy-related greenhouse emissions (CO₂ equivalent) only, published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (2017 data). These data do not include emissions from other activity such as agriculture, industrial processes, or waste management.https://www.eia.gov/state/data.php?sid=US

The Northern Mariana Islands is not ranked in the table below because there is no data for that territory. The Northern Mariana Islands is the only state/territory with no carbon dioxide emissions data.

The jurisdiction with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas, and the jurisdiction with the lowest total carbon dioxide emissions is American Samoa. The region with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions is Wyoming, and the jurisdiction with the lowest per capita carbon dioxide emissions is the District of Columbia.

Notes

General

* The 'States and D.C. Total' value represents the sum of emissions from the 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia. This value differs from total U.S. CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel combustion reported in th
Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks
The U.S. inventory value is larger because it includes emissions from U.S. territories and possessions; it also uses a different approach for estimating emissions from non-energy uses of fossil fuels (which are not included in the combustion-related values shown in this table).
* Nationally, CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel combustion represented the largest source (76%) of tota

��weighted emissions from all emission sources in 2014. Similarly, CO₂ emissions from fossil fuel combustion are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions within a state.
*Numbers for territories include only fossil fuel numbers — they do not include petroleum, natural gas, and coal numbers.
