2025–26 EERS updates
Changes to EERS for the 2025–26 reporting year:
Fuels
- Reclassified hydrogen from an energy commodity to a fuel to enable reporting of the consumption of hydrogen through fuel combustion, fugitive emissions or use as a feedstock in certain industrial processes
- Added functionality to enable the use of the new market-based approach for determining the amount of renewable gas in a blended fuel received from a natural gas network
- Added new matters to be identified (MTBIs) when blended fuels are consumed in the production of hydrogen or ammonia
Fugitive emissions from oil and natural gas operations
- Updated the emissions factors used in methods 1 and 2A for gas flared during oil and natural gas operations
- Added a new method for estimating fugitive emissions from natural gas production-flaring and natural gas transmission and distribution-flaring (method 2B)
- Updated the MTBIs to be reported when method 2B is used to estimate fugitive emissions from gas flared during natural gas production
- Added a new matter to be identified when methods 2, 2A or 3 are used to estimate fugitive emissions from flaring during oil and natural gas operations
Market-based scope 2 emissions method (optional)
- Added validations to check if the method has been used for all facilities and if there is a corresponding location-based scope 2 emissions activity
- Added new MTBIs for surrender ID of large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) and RET accreditation codes of renewable power stations that form part of the NGER facility
- Updated the renewable power percentage (RPP) and the jurisdictional renewable power percentage (JRPP)
Location-based scope 2 emissions method (mandatory)
- Updated emission factors for estimating emissions resulting from the consumption of electricity purchased or acquired from the grid when reporting location-based scope 2 emissions
Waste
- Added a new MTBI to account for the diversion of biosolids to biochar production for wastewater handling activities
System updates and corrections
- Added MTBIs when reporting the combustion of blended fuels for electricity production
- Corrected the MTBI list when reporting 'Aluminium - emissions from the consumption of carbon anodes in aluminium production'
- Updated the MTBI list for 'Landfill classification specified in the Determination' to include 'Tropical dry'
- Increased the size limit for attachments to 100 MB
- Other minor technical updates
