About emissions and energy data

Reporting obligations

Under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Standard and the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Specifications, we publish data about corporations:

● greenhouse gas emissions

● energy production

● energy consumption.

Corporations report their scope 1 emissions, scope 2 emissions, energy consumption and energy production for each financial year. We are required under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Standard to publish the following information by 28 February each year:

● Registered corporations: reported greenhouse gas emissions and net energy consumption for all registered corporations.

● Reporting transfer certificate holders: reported greenhouse gas emissions and net energy consumption for reporting transfer certificate holders.

● Generation facilities: greenhouse gas emissions, energy production, primary fuel source, emissions intensity and grid connection information for facilities where the principal activity is electricity generation.

● Greenhouse Gas Register by year: corporations registered under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Standard.
