Submission on methane accounting standards under NGERS legislation

Submission | Anna Hancock, Bethany Richards, Dani Siew, Francesca Muskovic | 8 May 2026

Methane emissions are generally under-reported and IGCC strongly supports more accurate accounting and reporting of methane emissions as essential to give greater clarity to investors. This will assist in making alternative, low to zero emissions investments more attractive, enabling more finance to be deployed towards prospective green industries.   IGCC supports many of the changes contemplated in this consultation draft and provides some further suggestions to strengthen NGER scheme operation that will in turn support climate-aligned innovation and investment.
