The Carbon Tax On 10 July 2011, the Government announced its plans to introduce a fixed price on carbon emissions starting on 1 July 2012, moving to an emissions trading scheme in 2015/16. The pricing of carbon emissions in Australia is a major reform for the economy and a significant and perhaps confronting issue for many businesses both directly and indirectly through supply chains. Carbon House provides expert advice to businesses on the latest developments in this area and assists them to develop strategies to minimise cost and liability, as well as to realise some of the opportunities that moving to a Clean Energy Future represents. This includes advice and strategy services such as the modelling of potential direct and indirect impacts, development of compliance minimisation strategies and development of cost effective strategies for the use of offsets and other mechanisms. Carbon House has particular expertise in the area of carbon offsets and is passionate about using these to help organisations not only meet compliance obligations but to also realise signficant co-benefits and other value. Our services also include a full suite of tailored training and workshop solutions to help deliver vital and timely information about these reforms.

NGER Act Compliance
The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act
has been established by the Federal Government as a national framework
for reporting by greenhouse gas and energy intensive corporations. The
NGER Act sets thresholds to determine whether or not a corporation or a
facility owned by a corporation needs to report its annual energy usage
and greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding when and what a corporation
needs to report can be a highly complex issue and steep penalties apply
for non-compliance. Carbon House is able to advice businesses on their
reporting requirements, develop a NGER Act compliant greenhouse gas
inventory and to assist with the reporting process.
