# Greenhouse gas emissions from industry (EPA state inventory)

Greenhouse gas emissions of a US state allocated to the industry economic sector. Fuel burned in factories, industrial processes such as cement, steel and chemicals, and oil, gas and coal production, including methane leaks. In million metric tons of CO2 equivalent: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases weighted by their 100-year global warming potentials (IPCC AR5), from the EPA inventory of US emissions by state, which allocates the national inventory to the states with the same methods for every state. Emissions are counted where they occur, so electricity is counted in the state that generates it, not the state that uses it.

## Key facts

- Texas had the highest greenhouse gas emissions from industry (EPA state inventory) of 51 states in 2022, at 334.29 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, and District of Columbia the lowest, at 0.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. Source: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
- Published for 51 places, with figures from 1990 to 2022.
- Figures last updated on 2026-10-12.

- Note: The six economic sectors add up to state_ghg_emissions. EPA says these estimates are not official state data: a state's own inventory can differ because it uses other methods, data or scopes. Each annual edition recalculates the whole series back to 1990.
