Texas had the largest energy-related carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in the United States in 2021, at 664 million metric tons (MtCO₂). This was more than double the energy-related emissions produced in California - the second-largest emitter in the U.S. Transportation emissions account for a significant proportion of emissions in many states.
