Suggested Reading Suggested Reading

28 February 2023

In 2021–22, 946 corporations reported a total of:

  • 310 million tonnes of scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent)
  • 84 million tonnes of scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent), and
  • 3,699 petajoules of net energy consumed.

Most of Australia's 10 highest emitting corporations, which collectively account for almost half (45.9%) of all reported scope 1 emissions, are electricity generators.

Emissions included in this spotlight

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme is a single national framework for corporations to report greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and production. This covers about 60% of Australia's total emissions. Emissions from the agricultural, forestry, private vehicle transport and residential sectors are not collected under the NGER scheme and therefore not included in this data.
