Figures were calculated by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ using data provided by the source. Per capita emissions are based on total energy-related transportation COâ‚‚ emissions divided by population in each state.Â
Energy-related COâ‚‚ emissions refers to emissions released at the location where fossil fuels are consumed. Total state COâ‚‚ emissions include emissions from direct fuel use across all sectors, as well as primary fuels consumed for electricity generation.Â

Transportation sector COâ‚‚ emissions per capita in the U.S. 2022, by state
Alaska had the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions from transportation in the United States in 2022. That year, the average resident in Alaska emitted **** metric tons of carbon dioxide (tCOâ‚‚/cap). Wyoming followed, with approximately ** tCOâ‚‚/cap. By comparison, Texas, which is the U.S. transportation sector's biggest polluter, produced roughly *** tCOâ‚‚/cap in 2022.
