The total amount of carbon dioxide and its equivalents released as a result of various human activities is known as the carbon footprint (CF). A carbon footprint is a measure of the environmental impact of human activities in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. The concept of a carbon footprint is closely tied to climate change and environmental sustainability.Power generation is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a leading driver of climate change. India is world’s third largest emitter of green house gases. In this paper, a study is conducted on the carbon footprint assessment from the different sources of power generation used in Uttar Pradesh.This research focuses mostly on CO2 emissions using the installed capacity and load factor of power plants. The estimation indicates that Uttar Pradesh emits 39,383 megatons of CO2 annually. The generation of electricity is responsible for 35.5% of total CO2 emissions, followed by power plants. Thermal power plants release the most CO2 in Uttar Pradesh, followed by nuclear, hydroelectric, and solar power plants. The ratio of annual carbon storage to annual carbon emission, or carbon status, is calculated for each power plant.This analysis will help us to adopt energy efficient technologies and switching to renewable energy sources
