Key Trends & States
Western & Southern Dominance: -
Studies indicate that western states and some southern states are consistently among the highest emitters of CO2. 
Manufacturing Powerhouses: -
States with significant industrial output, such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Odisha, contribute a large portion of manufacturing-related emission
High Total CO2 Emitters: -
Analysis from various years points to Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal as having high total CO2 emissions. 
Factors Influencing Emissions:
Energy & Manufacturing: -
The primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are human activities like the burning of fossil fuels for energy and manufacturing processes. 
Forest Cover & Carbon Sequestration: -
States with extensive forest cover, such as ArunachalPradesh and Mizoram, exhibit higher carbon sequestration rates, which is reflected in their overall carbon status.
