Greenhouse gas and energy data assurance

Case Study

Point Advisory has provided assurance over Veolia’s greenhouse and energy data since 2017. This includes auditing:

• the company’s National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) submission to the Clean Energy regulator
• various claims for carbon credits under the Landfill Gas Methodology of the Emissions Reduction Fund.

Veolia is one of Australia’s largest integrated water and waste management companies. Veolia operates several large landfills and waste collection services and a range of water and wastewater treatment facilities (including desalination plants) across Australia.

Veolia has a large and complex emissions profile due to the creation of methane emissions from solid waste disposal in landfill, and the generation of nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater treatment plants. The company also flares or generates electricity from the significant volumes of biogas that are produced at its landfills.
