We are getting ready to redesign our website. We would like to understand how to make it easier for you to use, particularly when accessing information about our schemes.
We would like to involve our users in user research that will inform the new website. This may include surveys, online interviews and usability testing.
The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has released the 2021–22 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) data.
Each year, Australian corporations that meet certain thresholds are required to report their emissions and energy information to us. This data helps inform government policy and programs and meet Australia’s international reporting obligations.
The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) welcomes 6 new companies to the 2023 Corporate Emissions Reduction Transparency (CERT) report, following the successful pilot last year.
The 2023 CERT report will include 26 large Australian companies. Together, these companies represent 21 per cent of scope 1 emissions reported to the CER in 2021-22.
The Clean Energy Regulator will close for the holiday period on Friday 23 December 2022 and will reopen on Tuesday 3 January 2023.
