Rockhampton,QLD,Australia -ATA Friday Facts -5 Nov 2010: -- A Central Queensland transport operator, Rocky's Own Transport, has reduced its reported emissions under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) system by about three per cent after working with university researchers... Under NGER, businesses whose energy use and greenhouse gas emissions exceed a threshold must report their emissions to the Department of Climate Change. Trucking companies currently have to lodge reports if they use the equivalent of 2.59 million litres of diesel per year in any one state or territory or 9.01 million litres per year in total... Researchers from the Central Queensland University's Centre for Environmental Management reviewed the Rocky's Own fleet of 117 trucks. They examined the technical characteristics of the fuel the company used, based on data from BP Australia... The researchers used this information to build a new and more accurate reporting template for the company, which reduced its estimated emissions by about 3 per cent compared to the default option for calculating emissions under NGER... The Chief Financial Operator of Rocky's Own, John Bryant, said the company would now lobby government and the industry for a more detailed study... Labels: green news
