The National Inventory by Economic Sector provides information on national emissions disaggregated by Australia-New
Zealand Standard Industry Classifi cations (ANZSIC). It complements the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (DCC 2008a),
which provides estimates of emissions classifi ed according to process-based emission categories (see Notes for details).
