54263 (2024). Lan Pham to the Minister of Climate Change: What, if any, is the breakdown of Aotearoa’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions profile, listed by industry and kilotonnes of CO2-e?

Hon Simon Watts: The information requested is reported annually in New Zealand’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory (the Inventory). You can find the latest information in the 2024 publication of the Inventory which covers the period 1990-2022. The publication can be found here: https://environment.govt.nz/publications/new-zealands-greenhouse-gas-inventory-1990-2022/ The full report includes a narrative on the emissions reported and how emissions are calculated. The reports can be accessed here: https://environment.govt.nz/assets/publications/GhG-Inventory/GHG-inventory-2024/GHG-Inventory-2024-Vol-1.pdf and https://environment.govt.nz/assets/publications/GhG-Inventory/GHG-inventory-2024/GHG-Inventory-2024-Vol-2.pdf. For the breakdown by category we provide the following summary data set: https://environment.govt.nz/assets/publications/GhG-Inventory/GHG-inventory-2024/Time-series-emissions-data-in-AR5-1990-to-2022-from-NZGHGI-2024.xlsx In this file the emissions are reported by sector and industry categories that adhere to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories. Emissions are reported in kilotonnes of CO2-e and separately by gas.
