Title: National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 39 of 2004: Notice Regarding Manual Registration of Data Providers and Reporting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 Reporting Cycles  

Gazette reference: GN 4248 in GG 49984 on 11 January 2024 

Commencement date: 11 January 2024 

On 11 January 2024, the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, in terms of regulation 5(4) and 7(5) of the National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting Regulations 2016, as amended, gave notice regarding the manual registration of data providers and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions for the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 reporting cycles. Data providers must register and report greenhouse gas emissions data and information manually using the prescribed templates attached to the Notice. 

The reasons for manual registration of data providers and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions is that the South African Greenhouse Gas Emission Reporting System (SAGERS) will no longer be used for registration and reporting during the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 reporting cycles due to planned system upgrades.
