National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting

Page Content

In 2007 Australia introduced a single, national framework for corporations to report on greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and energy production.

Corporations that meet a National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) threshold must register and then report each year.

Information collected through the NGER scheme provides the basis for assessing liability under the carbon pricing mechanism.

The Clean Energy Regulator administers the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER Act).

The Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency is responsible for NGER-related policy development and review.

For more details see about the NGER scheme.

Register to report

Liable entities can register to report via the Client Portal. We recommend you download a copy of the guideline before you begin your application.

Do you need to submit a pre-submission audit report?

If you are a liable entity and your emissions number is above 125 000 you need to submit a reasonable assurance audit report.

What we publish

We are required to publish an extract of the National Greenhouse and Energy Register, as well as an extract of data reported under the NGER Act each year.
