ghg_emissions_by_sector

Pack: epa-emissions · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/epa-emissions/mcp

Total greenhouse-gas emissions by INDUSTRY SECTOR within a US state (EPA GHGRP) — answers ‘which sectors emit the most in ’. Sectors: Power Plants, Refineries, Chemicals, Metals, Minerals, Pulp and Paper, Petroleum and Natural Gas Systems, Waste, etc. Returns each sector’s total metric tons CO2e and facility count, ranked. State-scoped (pass a state); data lags ~1.5y so the latest full year (~2023) is auto-selected unless year is given.

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
statestringyesUS state — 2-letter code (“TX”) or full name (“Texas”). Required (state-scoped, not national).
sectorstringnoOptional — filter to one sector by name (e.g. “Power Plants”, “Refineries”, “Chemicals”).
yearnumbernoReporting year (default: latest available, ~2023).
