List of U.S. states by carbon dioxide emissions

CO2 emission per capita per year per state (2011 data).

This is a list of U.S. states by carbon dioxide emissions due to human activity. The data presented below from the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Energy Information Administration corresponds to emissions in 2014.[1] Interactive bar charts (showing state rankings for total and per-capita emissions) and interactive maps (for both total emissions and per capita emissions) for the 2014 data are available on Tableau Public.
