The Clean Energy Regulator today released the 2015–16 National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting data.

In 2015–16, total reported scope 1 emissions rose 2.2 per cent on adjusted 2014–15 data. This rise represents emissions released into the atmosphere as a direct result of an activity, or series of activities conducted by reporting corporations.
