Live CO2 emissions of electricity consumption, production and transport across countries.

I see there is almost no data for the US. For the US, energy.gov has a very similar interactive map with each of the 50 states. According to the US DOE, Idaho is the only state where all of it's energy consumption comes from 100% renewable sources with only ~20% coming from biomass which involves carbon but can be considered a carbon neutral cycle.

I have to wonder if this electricitymap.org or the energy.gov data is accurate. This map lists Washington state as only 73% renewable but the US DOE map and has it as 92.25%. I notice that this electritiymap.org map is also giving us these values even though they are listing many categories as "?" or marking them as "assumption". As a result I am going to have to say that the US DOE accounting is more accurate because instead of "?" and guessing, they have extensive data that they make available.

For the United States, the US DOE already has a system much like this called SEDS, which offers historical data, live data, and forecasts. They have contact information for anyone interested in custom API access for research purposes.
