In-state concentration desk
NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT accounts for 32.2% of reported Nebraska CO₂e (8.3M MT of 25.8M MT). The top three in-state reporters hold 67% (NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT; OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT; ARCHER DANIELS MIDLAND). Shares use EPA GHGRP facilities sited in NE only, not each parent's company-wide total.
- Nebraska is 1% of the 2.57B MT U.S. GHGRP facility rollup across 54 jurisdictions.
- Leading EPA sector by CO₂e: Power Plants at 71% (18.3M MT across 19 facilities) - orthogonal to the facility-count sector mix below.
- Trails New Mexico by 830K MT on the same state ranking.
- Leads Washington by 1.5M MT on the same state ranking.

Company footprint
Which companies combine scale and emissions?
Each point is a leading Nebraska reporter. The crosshairs mark the median among the companies shown, so the chart distinguishes a larger facility footprint from a higher emissions total.
This is a comparison of the leading 12 reporters displayed above, not a measure of production, population, or total company-wide emissions outside Nebraska.
