NOTES

ABOUT THIS PUBLICATION

This publication presents estimates of the key energy measures and environmental management practices of Australian industry for 2014–15. These estimates are compiled from the Energy, Water and Environment Survey (EWES) conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and supplemented by data from the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Scheme (NGERS) data as reported to the Clean Energy Regulator.

The estimates in this publication are based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition (cat. no. 1292.0).

Estimates presented in the Main Features have been converted to gigajoules (GJ) to enable comparability across the varying energy and fuel products. The consumption estimates in the data cubes contain the units of measure as collected in EWES 2014–15. For information on conversion factors please refer to the Explanatory Notes in this issue.
