List	Version	Source flow	Name there	Why this flow
EF	3.1	4d9a8790-3ddd-11dd-9b18-0050c2490048	butene	The consensus list is built from this one, so this row is the flow itself rather than something matched to it.
bafu	2026-v1	08960909-a2aa-5407-9dc0-cb3ae7e3420f	Butene	The CAS numbers are the same (25167-67-3); both name the same compartment.
ecoinvent	3.12	53fc7ec9-1b3f-4d89-ade6-8ca2934c1695	Butene	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.11-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere) names this flow.
ecoinvent	3.8	53fc7ec9-1b3f-4d89-ade6-8ca2934c1695	Butene	A curator's mapping table (ecoinvent-3.8-biosphere-EF-3.1-biosphere.json) names this flow.

Every implementation that says anything about this flow. Published as is what this list did with the row: where more than one implementation states a number and they agree it publishes it as agreed; where only one speaks, as sole; where they disagree it publishes nothing and asks.
