Top-reporter concentration desk

TALEN ENERGY dominates the in-state book at 60% of reported Montana CO₂e (11.0M MT of 18.3M MT). Top-three reporters hold 70.3% (TALEN ENERGY; PHILLIPS 66; CHS). Shares use EPA GHGRP facilities sited in MT only, not each parent's company-wide total.

  • Montana is 0.7% of the 2.57B MT U.S. GHGRP facility rollup across 54 jurisdictions.
  • Leading EPA sector by CO₂e: Power Plants at 74.6% (13.6M MT across 11 facilities) - orthogonal to the facility-count sector mix below.
  • Trails New Jersey by 2.1M MT on the same state ranking.
  • Leads Maryland by 800K MT on the same state ranking.

Company footprint

Which companies combine scale and emissions?

Each point is a leading Montana reporter. The crosshairs mark the median among the companies shown, so the chart distinguishes a larger facility footprint from a higher emissions total.

Concentration lens: Montana

Montana (MT) concentrates 70.3% of its 18.3M MT CO₂e in the top three in-state reporters while ranking #36 of 54 states overall.

Top in-state reporters: TALEN ENERGY, PHILLIPS 66, CHS (together 70.3% of the MT total). These are Scope 1 facility reports only - not a full state inventory or company-wide footprint. See methodology.
