Footnotes:

— = No consumption. Where shown, (s) = Value less than 0.05.

Notes: · Data are carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions estimates from fossil fuels primary energy consumption for all sectors, excluding renewable energy. The state data do not account for interstate flow of electricity and represent CO2 emissions in the state where fossil fuels are burned to generate electricity, although the electricity might be sold to ultimate customers in other states and sectors. U.S. totals include net imports of coal coke consumption not allocated to the states. · Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.
