The Greenhouse CO2e column shows the CO2 equivalent pounds released by this facility if the facility also exists in the Greenhouse database

* Split: if 50% appears in this column, then the facility's emissions have been split among two 50/50% ownership parent companies for their parent company data, although the full pounds and score are displayed here.
