National Inventory Report: 1990-2004

New Zealand Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990-2004 (including the Common Reporting Format (CRF) for 2004).

The New Zealand Greenhouse Gas Inventory 1990 – 2004 is an inventory of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions and removals. The inventory reports the emissions and removals of greenhouse gases from six sectors: energy; industrial processes; solvents; agriculture; land use, land-use change and forestry; and waste. The publication is required under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. The inventory is also a key element in the Ministry for the Environment’s reporting on the state of the environment.
