State Carbon Dioxide Emissions

(Mon, 26 Oct 2015) These estimates of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) are based on the State Energy Data System. The state data include a summary table with total energy-related CO2 by state beginning in 1990, a table with emissions by fuel in 2013 and a table with emissions by sector in 2013. Detailed tables for individual states provide emissions by fuel and sector for data beginning in 1980. Documentation for methodology is also included on the page. For this year EIA has added files with data for all states by fuels and by sectors from 1980 to 2013.
