What 224,774 t CO₂e a year looks like

This facility's estimated annual CO₂e (Climate TRACE, modelled) in everyday equivalents from the US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies calculator:

4.1kmillion cubic feet of natural gas burned
47khomes' electricity use for a year
225kacres of US forest absorbing CO₂ for a year

Equivalencies: US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies. Emissions: Climate TRACE.

Carbon cost and Scope 1 emissions

At its reported 225k t CO₂e/yr (Scope 1), Molson Coors Usa Llc - Golden Brewery carries no domestic carbon price, and its products are not CBAM-covered goods, so there is no border-carbon liability. At the EU ETS reference price (€75/t) the emissions carry an indicative carbon value of €16.9M/yr.

Measured CO₂: 224k t/yr — verified GHGRP (reporting year 2023) (0% below the modelled estimate). Modelled estimate 225k t/yr (Climate TRACE), high-confidence match, cross-checked via the measured-vs-modelled dataset (n=711).
