In-state concentration desk

DTE ENERGY accounts for 32.2% of reported Michigan CO₂e (22.6M MT of 70.3M MT). The top three in-state reporters hold 56.2% (DTE ENERGY; CMS ENERGY; MICHIGAN PUBLIC POWER AGENCY). Shares use EPA GHGRP facilities sited in MI only, not each parent's company-wide total.

  • Michigan is 2.7% of the 2.57B MT U.S. GHGRP facility rollup across 54 jurisdictions.
  • Leading EPA sector by CO₂e: Power Plants at 72.8% (51.2M MT across 58 facilities) - orthogonal to the facility-count sector mix below.
  • Trails West Virginia by 233K MT on the same state ranking.
  • Leads Kentucky by 2.5M MT on the same state ranking.
