NASA's Oak Ridge National Laboratory Distributed Active Archive Center (ORNL DAAC) released a new North American Carbon Program (NACP) dataset: Vulcan High-Resolution Annual Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions in USA, 2010-2022. 

This dataset provides estimates of annual carbon dioxide emissions due to the combustion of fossil fuel and due to cement production in the contiguous United States and Alaska from 2010-2022. The Vulcan FFCO2 version 4.0 model was used to generate emissions using a bottom-up/engineering approach, which is best described as a fusion of data and modeling components. The emissions are categorized into ten source sectors, including residential, commercial, industrial, electricity production, on-road, non-road, commercial marine vessel, airport, rail, and cement. Total emissions from all source sectors combined are included. 

You can access the data through NASA’s Earthdata Search.
