Overview
We are proposing updates to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Regulations 2008 (NGER Regulations) and National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008 (the Measurement Determination).
The proposed amendments:
Update emission factors based on updated Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) that convert non-carbon dioxide gases into carbon dioxide equivalent values in order to align NGERs with the Australian Government’s implementation of the Paris Agreement
Update the list of matters to be identified in reports under Part 2 of Schedule 3 of the NGER Regulations (Oil or gas) in order to support the preparation of the National Greenhouse Accounts
Update emission factors used to estimate emissions resulting from the consumption of electricity purchased or lost from the grid (‘scope 2 emissions’) based on the latest available data
The amendments would affect NGER reports to be submitted for the 2020-21 reporting year due 31 October 2021.
