The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act)
establishes a national framework for Australian corporations to
report greenhouse emissions, reductions, removals and offsets and
energy consumption.
The Act makes it mandatory for Australian corporations which
exceed certain thresholds to report annually on their greenhouse
gas emissions, energy consumption and energy production.
The reporting system is expected to cover up to 1000 medium and
large companies, of which around 300 will be reporting for the
first time.
From 1 July 2008, all controlling corporations must apply for
registration with the Greenhouse and Energy Data Officer if their
corporate group emits greenhouse gasses or produces or consumes
energy at or above the specified thresholds for a financial
reporting year.
