NGER stands for the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 – Australia’s primary federal legislation requiring businesses to measure and report their greenhouse gas emissions and energy use to the Clean Energy Regulator each year.
NGER reporting is mandatory for any Australian corporation that operates a facility meeting threshold triggers: 200 terajoules (TJ) or more of energy production or consumption at a single facility, or 25,000 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent (tCO₂-e) or more in greenhouse gas emissions at a facility. At the corporate group level, thresholds are 200 TJ or 50,000 tCO₂-e across all controlled facilities.
Industries most commonly captured include mining, oil and gas, agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, and large commercial property. Even if you fall below mandatory thresholds, voluntary NGER reporting can significantly strengthen your ASRS and AASB S2 disclosures.
We conduct NGER threshold assessments, manage annual data collection, prepare and lodge reports with the Clean Energy Regulator, and provide ongoing audit support.
