While electricity generation remained the largest source of emissions in the national inventory (32%) in the year to September 2022, they were down 25.8% (54.7 Mt CO2-e) from the peak recorded in the year to September 2009.<\/p>\n<p>The update notes coal-fired power generation declined 4.9% compared to the year to September 2021, while generation from renewables increased 19% in actual terms.<\/p>\n<h2>Transport, Stationary Energy, Agriculture Emissions Up<\/h2>\n<p>But the ongoing headway being made on electricity generation related emissions was eroded by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Increased transport emissions (up 4.3%; 3.8 Mt CO2-e). This was attributed to ongoing recovery from previous COVID related travel restrictions.<\/li>\n<li>Increased emissions from stationary energy (not including electricity), which were up 0.7% ( 0.7 Mt CO2-e). This was mainly driven by increased activity in the chemical manufacturing sector.<\/li>\n<li>Increased emissions from agriculture, up 3.2%; 2.5 Mt CO2-e. This was due to continuing recovery from drought resulting in increases in livestock.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Commenting on the figures, Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen acknowledged the huge task ahead in turning &#8221; this cruise ship around&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat we do between now and 2030 is vital. 2030 is 82 months away and Australia is well placed to achieve our climate targets if we all work together towards a common goal,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/minister.dcceew.gov.au\/bowen\/media-releases\/quarterly-update-australias-national-greenhouse-gas-inventory\">he stated<\/a>. \u201cWhile the Government has acted swiftly to introduce a 43% by 2030 legislated emissions reduction target, a $20 billion investment in Rewiring the Nation, and the 82% renewable electricity target, we still have a way to go to see these, and other reforms take full effect.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The latest update also incorporates preliminary emissions in the year to December 2022 &#8211; 490 Mt CO2-e, a decrease of 0.3% on the previous year to December.<\/p>\n<p>The full Quarterly Update of Australia\u2019s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory: September 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcceew.gov.au\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/nggi-quarterly-update-sept-2022.pdf\">can be viewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Boosting EV Uptake Critical To Reining In Transport Emissions<\/h2>\n<p>On the transport side of things, a very good way to really start making inroads on emissions from that source would be the introduction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/fuel-efficiency-standards\/\">fuel efficiency standards<\/a>. These are critical to improving supply of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/electric-vehicles\/\"> electric vehicles<\/a> into the Australian market and making EVs more affordable.<\/p>\n<p>The Albanese Government is taking a serious crack at this via the <a href=\"https:\/\/consult.dcceew.gov.au\/national-electric-vehicle-strategy\">National Electric Vehicle Strategy<\/a>. A discussion paper released during the consultation phase for the Strategy mentioned \u201cfuel efficiency standards\u201d 18 times.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping fuel efficiency standards are put in place sooner rather than later. While EV uptake may be accelerating without them, as Minister Bowen indicated, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/ev-uptake-australia-mb2822\/\"> Australia needs to push the pedal to the metal<\/a> to meet emissions goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest National Greenhouse Gas Inventory update indicates Australia&#8217;s emissions edged up in the year to September 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":71789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Australia&#039;s Emissions: Electricity Down, Transport Up<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The latest National Greenhouse Gas Inventory update indicates Australia&#039;s emissions edged up in the year to September 2022.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-emissions-quarterly-mb2845\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Australia&#039;s Emissions: Electricity Down, Transport Up\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The latest National Greenhouse Gas Inventory update indicates Australia&#039;s emissions edged up in the year to September 2022.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-emissions-quarterly-mb2845\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-02-28T20:47:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/australia-emissions.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-emissions-quarterly-mb2845\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-emissions-quarterly-mb2845\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Australia&#8217;s Emissions: Electricity Down, Transport Up\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-02-28T20:47:28+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-emissions-quarterly-mb2845\/\"},\"wordCount\":485,\"commentCount\":1,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/australia-emissions-quarterly-mb2845\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/australia-emissions.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
