Emissions and Energy Reporting System
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) reporters must submit a report under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 each year they're registered.
NGER reports must be prepared and submitted in the EERS.
From the 2024–25 reporting period, you must use the new EERS to prepare and submit NGER reports. Once new EERS is released, legacy EERS won't be available.
New EERS and historically reported NGER data
When you first log in to the new EERS, you will see the 2024–25 workspace at the top of the list. Workspaces will also be available for the 3 previous reporting periods.
Workspaces before 2021–22 won't be available in the new EERS, but a summary of your reported data will be. The data summaries are similar to the data tables in the historical NGER reports but won't include all the text that's in the reports.
Submitted attachments and report submission receipts will be available for all reporting years.
Historical reports will not be available in the new EERS for any reporting period. For a copy of your reports, log in to the legacy version of EERS via the Client Portal and download them before 30 June 2025.
After 30 June 2025, access to legacy EERS will end. You'll need to contact us if you need access to previously submitted reports.
If you need to update or change user access for your organisation’s new EERS account, log in to Online Services.
If you need to update or change user access for your legacy EERS account, contact us. User updates made in Online Services won't be replicated in legacy EERS. We'll need to make these changes for you.

Australian National Registry of Emissions Units
The Australian National Registry of Emissions Units (ANREU) holds ACCUs and international units and allows you to manage them.
The new Unit and Certificate Registry
We’re transitioning from the current ANREU system to the new Unit and Certificate Registry. The registry will progressively hold all units and certificates we administer. It will allow account holders to manage their units or certificates in one location. Learn more about the Unit and Certificate Registry.
Emissions units that can be held in ANREU include:
- Australian carbon credit units
- international units issued under the Kyoto Protocol
- certified emission reductions
- emissions reduction units
- removal units
- assigned amount units.
Apply for an ANREU account
You must complete the 'Open an ANREU account' form through Online Services to apply.
