国家温室和能源报告计划

国家温室和能源报告计划（NGERS）是用于报告温室气体（GHG）排放、能源消耗和能源生产的国家构架。

重要的是，即使只满足上述三个企业集团阈值中的一个，也必须报告所有的三项数值（能源消耗、能源生产和温室气体排放）。但是，如果一个企业集团的设备达到了设备阈值，但未达到企业集团阈值，则仅需要对该设备进行报告。

谁必须报告？

根据NGERS注册和报告的义务取决于企业集团的澳大利亚“控股公司”。在集团成员被认定为责任实体的情况下，企业集团包括所有子公司和联营公司或合伙人的任何机构。

如果企业集团的设备超过了其拥有的经营GHGs排放控制，或消耗或生产的能源超过了指定的阈值，该企业集团需要提交报告，所述阈值是：

澳大利亚政府已经引入了直接行动方案、计划在2020年前将碳排放在2000年的水准上减少5%。其主要特点是建立一个减排基金，用于提供一个鼓励企业降低排放的经济诱因。

Climate Change【Laws and Regulations in Common Area IX】

National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme

The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme (NGERS) is the national framework for reporting on greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions,energy use and energy production.

Importantly, even if only one of the three corporate group thresholds is met, reporting on all three areas (energy consumption, energy production and GHG emissions) is required. However, if a corporate group has operational control over a facility that meets the facility threshold, but does not meet the corporate group threshold, it need only report on that facility.

Who has to report?

The obligation to register and report under NGERS rests with the Australian ‘controlling corporation’ of a corporate group. The corporate group includes all subsidiaries and any facilities owned by joint ventures or partnerships where a corporate member is nominated as the responsible entity.

The corporate group needs to report if facilities over which it has operational control emit GHGs, or consume or produce energy, over specified thresholds. The thresholds are:

The Australian Government has introduced a Direct Action plan intends to take direct action to reduce carbon emissions to 5% below 2000 levels by 2020. The main feature is the creation of an Emissions Reduction Fund which provides financial incentives for business to reduce their emission.
