Carbon emissions per capita, 2020 Carbon emissions per 1000 square miles, 2020. This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [5] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont.
In December 2019, Maryland joined consideration for the Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI), a multi-state gasoline cap-and-trade program that aimed to reduce transportation-related tailpipe emissions, and would levy a tax on fuel companies based on carbon dioxide emissions. The most ambitious version of the plan was projected to reduce the ...
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), founded in 2007, is a state-level emissions capping and trading program by nine northeastern U.S. states: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. It is a cap and trade program in which states "sell nearly all emission ...
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI, pronounced "Reggie") is the first mandatory market-based program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the United States.RGGI is a cooperative effort among the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia to cap and reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions ...
Climate TRACE (Tracking Real-Time Atmospheric Carbon Emissions) [1] is an independent group which monitors and publishes greenhouse gas emissions. [2] It launched in 2021 before COP26, [3] and improves monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of both carbon dioxide and methane.
A 2020 paper reported that about half of air pollution and half of the resulting deaths are caused by emissions from outside a given state's boundaries, typically from prevailing winds moving west to east. [9] Regulation of air pollution is a shared responsibility between federal, state, and local governments.
Climate TRACE (Tracking Real-Time Atmospheric Carbon Emissions) [64] is an independent group which monitors and publishes greenhouse gas emissions. [65] It launched in 2021 before COP26 , [ 66 ] and improves monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of both carbon dioxide and methane .
100% carbon-free electricity 2045 2018 legislation (SB 100) extended and expanded the existing state RPS. State agencies are required to submit implementation plans by January 1, 2021. In 2018, Gov. Jerry Brown's Executive Order B-55-18 set a goal of statewide carbon neutrality by no later than 2045, with net negative GHG emissions thereafter.
