Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions on the rise


pitt&sherry, authors of a quarterly report detailing Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, have found that since December 2010, while Australia's carbon emissions levels remained relatively static for some months, they are now increasing.

The most recent CEDEX report details that Australia’s emissions from the use of fossil fuels reached a peak in December 2008. This was followed by a period of decline in the figures, until December 2010, when emissions of fossil fuel carbon dioxide steadily reduced by almost nine megatonnes per annum, or nearly 4 per cent.

pitt&sherry's Principal Consultant - Energy Strategies, Dr Hugh Saddler, author of the CEDEX report, said that the total emissions recorded for the 12 month period to September 2011 was almost two million tonnes higher than in the 12 month period ending March 2011.
