The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) data set, administered by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER), is a high quality source of information on greenhouse gas emissions, energy production and consumption. The data set is used as an input into a variety of Australian government, business and academic statistics, analyses and to support decision making. This includes being the primary input into Australia’s official emissions and energy statistics.
This PEAN project undertook a range of analytic activities to remediate facility-level metadata so that it is easier to match facilities and sectors over time. This will enable researchers and policymakers to derive greater analytical value from NGER data by providing time series continuity and a reduced need for users to match facilities themselves. The project did not change reported energy production, use or emissions data.
NGER data at this level of detail cannot be disclosed publicly. The following chart indicates the type of analysis that can occur, aggregated to maintain privacy.
