ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication presents estimates of energy expenditure and usage, environmental and water management practices and eco-innovation by Australian businesses, for the 2008-09 reference year.

Climate change (e.g. energy efficiency, renewable energy and the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme)
Sustainable management of water resources
Sustainable energy supply and use, and
Innovation in Australian industry

The information in this release relates to energy, environmental and water management and innovation. Data on water use will be published in Water Account, Australia, 2008-09 (Cat no. 4610.0), which is scheduled for release in late 2010.
