Dispersed in-state reporter mix
Vistra is the largest single reporter at 11.1% of Texas CO₂e (45.1M MT), but the top three still account for only 21.8% across 322 parent companies. Shares use EPA GHGRP facilities sited in TX only, not each parent's company-wide total.
- Texas is 15.8% of the 2.57B MT U.S. GHGRP facility rollup across 54 jurisdictions.
- Leading EPA sector by CO₂e: Power Plants at 49.3% (200.1M MT across 151 facilities) - orthogonal to the facility-count sector mix below.
- Leads Louisiana by 256.6M MT on the same state ranking.

Company footprint
Which companies combine scale and emissions?
Each point is a leading Texas 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 Texas.
