We are inviting members of the public to provide feedback on the proposed updates to the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Scheme by making a submission through this public consultation process.
Proposed amendments include:
Introduction of an optional supplementary ‘market-based method’ for determining emissions associated with the consumption of electricity (‘scope 2’ emissions);
An update to Method 1 for estimating emissions of methane from Queensland open cut coal mines;
An update to Method 1 for estimating methane released from landfills (other than from flaring of methane); and
Creation of two new fuel types, renewable paraffinic diesel and renewable paraffinic kerosene.
The amendments are proposed to commence on 1 July 2023 and would apply to NGER reports submitted by 31 October 2024 for the 2023–24 NGER reporting year. The amendments would not affect reports to be submitted by 31 October 2023 for the 2022-23 reporting year.
