2020-21 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting emissions and energy data now available

The Clean Energy Regulator has today released the 2020-21 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.

Have your say on the Corporate Emissions Reduction Transparency Report

The Clean Energy Regulator is inviting views on the guidelines for the Corporate Emissions Reduction Transparency (CERT) report in a second public consultation.

The CERT report has been co-designed with industry and will support National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting scheme (NGER) reporting companies that choose to disclose emissions reduction and renewable electricity commitments and their progress.

Coal mine waste gas method variation now available

Coal mine waste projects generate abatement through the conversion of waste methane from underground coal mines, by installing or expanding flaring or flameless oxidation devices or electricity generation equipment to displace grid electricity. Eligible projects earn Australian carbon credit units for converting the waste methane to carbon dioxide (which has a lower global warming potential), displacing grid electricity or both.

New compliance and enforcement priorities now available

​The Clean Energy Regulator (the agency) has published its Compliance and Enforcement Priorities for 2021-2022.

The priorities set out where the agency will be focusing its compliance and enforcement activities for the year ahead. They target a number of areas of actual and potential non-compliance that pose a high risk to the integrity of the programs administered by the agency.
