- Australia is underreporting its annual greenhouse gas pollution by failing to record over 80% of emissions that leak during coal and gas production.
- This underreporting amounts to approximately 28 million tonnes of unaccounted-for greenhouse gases.
- The government’s current figures are compiled with data provided by miners and gas producers, but this method is not capturing all emissions.
- The inclusion of these uncounted emissions would make it even more challenging for Australia to achieve its climate targets.
- Independent observations and improved methane emissions monitoring are recommended to address this issue.

First article I’ve seen of this though I heard a radio interview this morning with more information.
As it is, it’s not good news for carbon benchmarking. I’ll keep posting more as it gets reported.
