NGER Reporting Tool
Simplify your National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting obligations with NetNada's purpose-built NGER tool. Automate data collection across facilities, validate against Clean Energy Regulator requirements, and generate submission-ready reports—reducing compliance burden while ensuring accuracy for Australia's mandatory emissions reporting scheme.
How It Works
NGER reporting requires precise data collection, calculation methodology compliance, and structured submission formats. NetNada automates the entire workflow from data capture to CER submission.
Configure Your Corporate Structure
Set up your controlling corporation and facility hierarchy matching NGER requirements. Define operational control boundaries, facility types (production, transport, mining), and reporting thresholds. NetNada tracks whether you meet the 50kt CO₂-e corporate threshold or 25kt facility threshold.
Collect Activity Data by Source
Input or import activity data across all NGER scope categories: stationary energy (fuel combustion), transport, fugitive emissions, and industrial processes. NetNada supports manual entry, spreadsheet uploads, and direct integrations with utility providers and fuel suppliers.
Apply NGER Calculation Methods
NetNada automatically applies the correct NGER calculation methods: Method 1 (default emission factors), Method 2 (facility-specific factors), Method 3 (direct measurement), or Method 4 (mass balance). Choose the appropriate method for each source based on data availability and accuracy requirements.
Validate Against CER Requirements
Built-in validation checks ensure your data meets Clean Energy Regulator requirements before submission. Identify missing data, calculation errors, threshold breaches, and methodology inconsistencies. Address issues proactively rather than receiving rejection notices.
Generate Submission-Ready Reports
Export your NGER report in the exact format required by the Clean Energy Regulator's Online System for Comprehensive Activity Reporting (OSCAR). Includes all required schedules, energy production/consumption data, and emissions by scope and source. Ready for direct upload or assisted submission.
Why Use NetNada for NGER
Purpose-Built for Australian Regulations
Unlike generic carbon accounting tools, NetNada is specifically designed for Australian NGER requirements. Pre-configured with National Greenhouse Accounts Factors, NGER calculation methods, and CER reporting formats. No need to adapt international tools to local regulations.
Reduce Compliance Risk
NGER non-compliance carries significant penalties—up to $22,200 per day for failure to report. NetNada's validation engine catches errors before submission, ensuring your reports meet CER requirements. Maintain audit trails demonstrating due diligence and methodology compliance.
Save Time on Annual Reporting
NGER reporting typically consumes weeks of staff time gathering data, performing calculations, and formatting reports. NetNada automates data collection from connected sources, applies calculations automatically, and generates submission-ready outputs—reducing reporting time by up to 80%.
Centralise Multi-Facility Data
Organisations with multiple facilities struggle to consolidate NGER data across sites. NetNada provides a central platform where facility managers input local data, corporate sustainability teams review and validate, and final reports aggregate automatically at the corporate level.
Maintain Year-on-Year Consistency
NGER requires consistent methodology across reporting years. NetNada locks in your calculation approaches, emission factors, and data sources, ensuring year-on-year comparability. Track methodology changes with full audit trails for CER review.
Prepare for Safeguard Mechanism
If your facilities exceed Safeguard Mechanism baselines, accurate NGER reporting is critical for calculating excess emissions and surrender obligations. NetNada tracks baseline coverage, projects emissions trajectories, and identifies when facilities approach or exceed thresholds.
Who Needs NGER Reporting Tool
NGER-Registered Corporations
Controlling corporations meeting the 50kt CO₂-e threshold must submit annual NGER reports. NetNada consolidates emissions across all facilities, applies corporate-level aggregation rules, and generates the complete corporate report for CER submission.
Facility-Level Reporters
Facilities exceeding 25kt CO₂-e have individual reporting obligations. NetNada supports facility-specific reporting with appropriate emission factors, production data, and energy consumption tracking—whether reporting independently or as part of a corporate group.
Environmental Consultants
Consultancies managing NGER compliance for multiple clients benefit from NetNada's multi-tenant architecture. Manage client portfolios, standardise methodologies, and deliver consistent reporting quality across your client base.
Safeguard Mechanism Participants
Facilities covered by the Safeguard Mechanism require accurate NGER data for baseline calculations and compliance. NetNada tracks production-adjusted baselines, monitors headroom, and projects when facilities may need to surrender ACCUs.
Mining and Resources Companies
Mining operations face complex NGER requirements across fugitive emissions (coal seam methane), transport fleets, and processing facilities. NetNada handles sector-specific calculation methods and emission sources common to mining operations.
