Texas has the largest energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. in 2022, at 663 million metric tons (MtCO₂). The state's industrial sector was responsible for roughly 35 percent of this total, while transportation accounted for 33 percent. By comparison, the transportation sector accounted for more than 50 percent of California's energy-related emissions that year.
