The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) published the 2022–23 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) data on 28 February 2024. For the 2022-23 year, corporations reported a total of:

How to use the charts on this page

The charts on this page are interactive. To see more detailed information for these charts:

  • Hover your cursor over the areas and data points to see more information in a pop-up, including percentage values.
  • Click the legend labels below the charts to change what data is displayed in the chart. For example, in the above chart you can deselect ‘Scope 1 emissions’ and ‘Net energy consumption’ to show scope 2 emissions by itself.
  • Click the menu icon in the top right corner of each chart for more options, including downloading source data or images of the chart. The downloaded source data or image will be consistent with the chart that is displayed on the screen.

How we chart the NGER data

  • The data on this page represent reported emissions and energy as at 28 February following the relevant reporting years.
  • Under NGER legislation (regulation 4.26) there is provision for corporations to report small amounts of emissions and energy as percentages of report totals. These are not attributable to state or territory jurisdictions or ANZSIC codes. In 2022–23 percentage reporting accounted for less than 0.05% of reported emissions and less than 0.005% of reported energy. We have apportioned the amounts emissions and energy to states and territories and industry sectors on a pro-rata basis.
  • The data on this page represent emissions from all designated generation facilities. Some data published in prior years was for on-grid designated generation facilities only.
  • Percentages available in the pop-up windows on each chart may not add to 100.0% due to rounding.
  • We may periodically republish NGER data to reflect the most up to date information available and in line with ongoing compliance activity.
  • We take all reasonable efforts to ensure the information published on our website is accurate at the time of publication.

Comparing NGER data across years

  • When comparing total emissions between reporting years, it is important to note that each year there may be minor changes to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (Measurement) Determination 2008.
  • The data in the time series charts on this page has not been adjusted for changes in global warming potentials (GWP). The GWPs used in NGER Legislation were most recently updated for the 2020–21 reporting year. Read more about GWPs.

Emissions and energy included in these data highlights

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme is a single national framework for corporations to report greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and production. This covers about 65% of Australia’s total emissions. Emissions from agricultural, forestry, private vehicle transport and residential activities are not collected under the NGER scheme and therefore not included in this data.

Notes for the 2022-23 publication

  • Industry groupings are based on the  Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) codes reported for each facility.
  • ‘Mining’ aligns with ANZSIC division B.
  • ‘Manufacturing’ aligns with ANZSIC division C.
  • ‘Transport’ aligns with ANZSIC subdivisions Road (46), Rail (47), Water (48), Air and Space (49) and Other Transport (50).
  • ‘Electricity Generation’ only includes ANZSIC group 261. Electricity Distribution (ANZSIC group 263) and Electricity Transmission (ANZSIC group 262) are included in ‘other’.
  • Fuel source ‘Gas’ includes fuel types Gas, Waste Coal Mine Gas and Coal Seam Methane. Fuel source ‘Renewables’ includes Solar, Wind, Hydro, Landfill Gas, Biofuel, Bagasse, Biogas and Biomethane. Fuel source ‘Other’ includes Diesel, Kerosene and Battery fuel types. These are the primary fuels consumed by a facility to generate electricity in a year, as published in the designated generation facilities report.
