Voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) estimation and reporting standards

Farmers face increasing demands to provide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data to supply chains and the finance sector.

To assist, the Australian Government will be developing voluntary GHG accounting standards for agriculture, fisheries and forestry.

This will help:

• improve the quality and consistency of accounting methods and tools
• improve GHG accounting at the farm level to support mitigation action and market access
• reduce the reporting burden on farmers and land managers
• ensure farmers and landholders have trusted tools to understand their emissions.

A Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Estimation and Reporting Standards Reference Group has been established to ensure these standards meet user needs.
