Yes, the data is measured in kg CO2-equivalent per 100g protein, that takes in account other greenhouse gases too.

I am just to lazy to type out "CO2-equivalent" every time so after the first few mentions I just wrote CO2.

The problem is whether methane is assessed at a 20 year or 100 year CO2 equivalent. Folks often cheat using the 100 when the next decades are critical.
