Adelaide City Council Greenhouse Gas Inventory

Brief description

The compilation of Australia’s emissions data — called the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory — is undertaken centrally by the Department of the Environment. Although not legislatively required to report on our emissions, ACC have generated a GHG Inventory report on it's energy usage on a yearly basis since 2010.

Australia’s National Greenhouse Accounts conform to the international guidelines adopted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The National Greenhouse Gas Inventory is reviewed annually by a team of international experts.

Australia’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory is supported by a set of institutional arrangements which is designed to facilitate close coordination of the compilation of the inventory, efficient emissions data management, broadly based quality assurance processes and secure and reliable data collections.
