The Clean Energy Regulator has released the 2013-14 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) data publication.
Under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme, Australian corporations that meet certain thresholds are required to report their emissions and energy information to the Clean Energy Regulator.
Data reported under this scheme captures around 60 per cent of Australia’s overall emissions and is a key input into Australia’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory.
It is a point-in-time publication that shows greenhouse gas emissions and net energy consumption for 420 corporations in Australia who met the publication thresholds. For 2013-14 these corporations in total had:
312 million tonnes of scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent)
88 million tonnes of scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent), and
net energy consumption of approximately 5,150 petajoules.
In addition, the data publication includes scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and electricity production data for over 300 designated generation facilities.
Factsheets are available to provide further information on the 2013-14 NGER data publication including:
the top 20 producers of greenhouse gas emissions in Australia
the top 20 designated generation facilities that produce the most greenhouse gas emissions in Australia and their electricity production
the emissions profiles for Australian states and territories, and
Australia’s sources of reported scope 1 emissions by industry.
The Clean Energy Regulator has also published the National Greenhouse and Energy Register for 2013-14. This includes details of each corporation that was registered under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 for the 2013-14 reporting year.
