OF COUNCIL

Recommendation T10/3/20 - Implementation Status of the 2014/15 to 2019/20 Corporate

Greenhouse Action Plan and Flaring Project

In considering this item, Councillor Nixon detailed further information received from the

Executive Director Technical Services, which has relevance to this item.

The Recommendation as resolved at the 03 March 2020 Technical Services Committee

Meeting was:

Recommendation resolved at the 03 March 2020 Technical Services Committee Meeting.

That Council:

1. Note the update provided on the actions of the Corporate Greenhouse Action Plan.

2. Include $70,000 in the 2020/21 budget deliberations for the purchase of offsets from

overseas sources.

3. Receive a further report on the proposed sale options of carbon credits after the next

Offsets and Audit report.

4. Allocate future funds from the sale of carbon credits to the Revolving Energy Fund.

The further considerations detailed by the Executive Director Technical Services are as

follows:

“Councillors

At the 3 March 2020 Technical Services Committee meeting, Committee considered a report on the

‘Implementation Status of the 2014/15 to 2019/20 Corporate Greenhouse Action and Flaring

Project’. The following recommendation is among those that were supported and adopted by

Committee:

“2. Include $70,000 in the 2020/21 budget deliberations for the purchase of offsets from overseas

sources.”

This recommendation was predicated on the following factors:

The flare reducing the City’s carbon emissions by 101,240tCO2-e over a six-year period.

62,968tCO2-e of offsets being required to address a shortfall against the City’s carbon target of

155,627tCO2-e (total City emissions calculated as 218,595 tCO2-e).

70,000tCO2-e being used as a contingency to cover potential inaccuracies in estimates for the

final year period to 30 June 2020.

Offsets costing a maximum of $1 each, equating to a budget request of $70,000.

However, further consideration of the Clean Energy Regulator’s Solid Waste Calculator (SWC), has

revealed an oversight in the Council report. The SWC is a tool used for calculating gross emissions,

net emissions and flaring figures for landfill sites. The analysis in the Council report does not

consider a 10% inefficiency applied to flaring figures. This is built into the SWC calculator, but not

immediately visible when reviewing the outputs. This means that flaring quantities in the Council

report are over stated by 10%, with the following impacts:

The amounts flared actually equate to 91,115tCO2-e.

The City’s total emissions over the six year period now equate to 228,720tCO2-e, against a target

of 155,627tCO2-e.


OF COUNCIL

The shortfall on the emissions target of 155,627tCO2-e is now 73,093tCO2-e, and 80,000tCO2-e

should be used as a contingency figure.

Assuming a price of $1/tCO2-e, the budget request for 2020/21 increases from $70,000 to

$80,000.

The City’s carbon footprint over the period of the Corporate Greenhouse Action Plan can now be

summarised as follows:

Emission

Source 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/201 Total

Waste 45,732 47,634 49,951 51,476 53,151 52,260 300,204

Flared (14,939) (19,039) (19,262) (14,176) (13,867) (9,832) (91,115)

Net Waste 30,793 28,595 30,689 37,300 39,284 42,428 209,089

Buildings 3,332 3,334 3,054 2,790 2,838 3,082 18,430

Vehicle Fleet 202 199 185 213 202 200 1,201

Total 34,327 32,128 33,928 40,303 42,324 45,710 228,720

Population2 79,093 82,021 84,669 87,634 90,9913 94,3483 518,756 1 – Includes six months of forecast emissions 2 – Estimated Resident Population extracted from Forecast ID 3 – Figures required extrapolation (an estimate is only calculated for 2020/21)

Hence the recommendation should be revised to include $80,000 in the 2020/21 budget deliberations

for the purchase of offsets from overseas sources.

Emission Thresholds

It became apparent during the preparation of the report that for the period of the Corporate

Greenhouse Action Plan, the City has exceeded reporting thresholds under the National Greenhouse

and Energy Reporting Act 2007. The purpose of the Act is to provide data and accounting in relation

to greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption and production. The Scheme’s legislated

objectives are to inform policy making and the Australian public, meet Australia’s international

reporting obligations and provide a single national reporting framework for energy and emissions

reporting.

According to the Act, a corporation must register to report their emissions if a threshold of

25,000tCO2-e is exceeded for one of their facilities. The City will commence the process of reporting

under the Act.

In summary, the full recommendation should read:

That Council:

1. Note the update on the actions of the Corporate Greenhouse Action Plan detailed in Agenda item

2.2 Implementation Status of the 2014/15 to 2019/20 Corporate Greenhouse Action Plan and

Flaring Project in conjunction with the further information provided at the Ordinary Council

Meeting of 09 March 2020.

2. Include $80,000 in the 2020/21 budget deliberations for the purchase of offsets from overseas

sources.

3. Receive a further report on the proposed sale options of carbon credits after the next Offsets and

Audit report.


5. Note that the City has exceeded the reporting thresholds for emissions, and that these are to be

reported accordingly in terms of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007.”

Councillor Nixon then moved the amended recommendation detailed below.
