Missouri
Missouri is a major national transportation hub for raw materials and agricultural and manufactured products due to its location and infrastructure. The state’s emissions decreased 14% from 2005-2021, although coal continues to comprise over half of in-state electricity generation. Missouri consumes almost 8 times more energy than it produces and is 5th in the nation for per capita residential energy consumption.
