Energy-related COâ‚‚ emissions per capita in the U.S. 2022, by state
Wyoming had the highest per capita energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. in 2022, at **** metric tons (tCOâ‚‚). By comparison, the U.S. average stood at **** tCOâ‚‚ per capita. Wyoming's large carbon footprint is mainly due to the state's coal industry. Texas, which is the most polluting U.S. state, ranked twelfth in terms of per capita emissions.
