Welcome to this series of interactive presentations on the Emissions and Energy Reporting System (EERS).


This presentation will show you how to report the Provisional Emissions Number (PEN) associated with the importation and/or production of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and/or Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) for non-transport use.


The importation and/or production of LPG and/or LNG for non-transport use is reported under sections 36B and 36C of the Clean Energy Act 2011. Make sure you are familiar with the requirements of the legislation prior to reporting.


In some circumstances, you may not need to report LPG. These are covered by the Clean Energy Act.

You can reduce your PEN associated with the importation or production of LPG and/or LNG by netting some or all of the fuel. See the Clean Energy Act for conditions under which netting out is possible.


Once you have logged into EERS, you will see your home page. Your home page provides the entry point to the reporting pages. Click on the highlighted 2013-2014 button to enter the reporting page for the current reporting period.


Next, you will see the Reporting Entity Information page. This is where you will maintain your corporate structure and enter data relating to your emissions and energy consumption and production. Click on the highlighted Embodied Emissions button to enter the embodied emissions page.


The Embodied emissions – Gaseous fuels, liquid fuels and Opt-In page summarises entered data relating to sections 35B, 36B,36C,36D,36E and 92A of the Clean Energy Act 2011. It also links to the data entry pages. To enter data for LPG and/or LNG under section 36B of the Clean Energy Act 2011, click on the highlighted View or Modify link.


You are required to select options or enter data relating to fuel type, method, criteria for measurement, quantity and unit of consumption. To commence data entry, click on the highlighted Fuel Type drop-down menu.


In this example, we are reporting the importation or production of LPG. The following steps could also be used for reporting LNG. Select Liquid petroleum gas in the highlighted Fuel Type drop-down menu.


You can select either Default or Prescribed alternative for the method. In this example, Default is used. Select Default in the highlighted Method drop-down menu.


You can base your reporting on records associated with the appropriate sections of the Excise or Customs Acts of 1901 or invoices from a supplier. In this example, invoices are used. Select Invoices provided by Supplier in the highlighted Criteria for Measurement drop-down menu.


Next, enter the amount of LPG in the Quantity field. Since we are reporting using the default method, the amount is in kilolitres. The remaining fields are greyed out meaning the default values are used. Once data entry is complete, click on the highlighted Save button.


The data you entered on the previous page is displayed on the LPG/LNG imported for non-transport use summary page. This page also displays the PEN relating to the reported data. You can modify or remove the data by clicking on the links under the Actions heading.


In certain circumstances, you may net out some or all of your previously entered data. Netting out allows you to reduce your PEN associated with your previously reported LPG. To net out some or all of your reported LPG, click on the highlighted Add netting out of LPG or LNG under Section 36B link.


Since we previously entered the importation or production of LPG then we will select the same for the fuel type. The following steps could also be used for netting out associated with LNG. Select the highlighted Liquid petroleum gas entry in the Fuel Type drop-down menu.


In this example, we will net out an amount of LPG that has been used as feedstock. See section 36B of the Clean Energy Act 2011 for netting out provisions. Select the highlighted Subsection 36B(4) Reg. 3.5G(2)(c)(i) – Feedstock entry in the Subsection drop-down menu.


Since we are not netting out under an OTN, the next three fields are greyed out. The next field requiring entry is Method. In this example, we are reporting using the default method. Select the highlighted Default entry in the Method drop-down menu.


You can net out based on records associated with the appropriate sections of the Excise or Customs Acts of 1901 or invoices from a supplier. In this example, invoices are used. Select the highlighted Invoices provided by Supplier entry in the Criteria for Measurement drop-down menu.


Next, enter the amount netted out in the Quantity field. Since we are netting out using the default method, the amount is in kilolitres. The remaining fields are greyed out meaning the default values will be used. Once data entry is complete, click on the highlighted Save button.


The data you entered on the previous page is displayed in the netting out section on the LPG/LNG imported for non-transport use summary page. This page will also display the updated PEN. You can modify or remove the data by clicking on the links under the Actions heading.


The PEN associated with the LPG data entered on the previous pages will be summarised on the embodied emissions page. You can click on the View or Modify link if you wish to change the data. Click on the highlighted Back to Embodied Emissions link to return to the reporting entity page.


Once you have completed entering data relating to embodied emissions, you can complete your other reporting requirements by selecting the appropriate entity from the corporate structure.


In this module, we have shown you how to enter a PEN for the importation and/or production of LPG/LNG for non-transport use. If you require further information regarding reporting, additional material is available from the Clean Energy Regulator’s website.
