Captain Quirk is blaming the Carbon Tax for Brisbane City Council rate rises.... He has said: "rise could have been kept to 2.6 per cent, or $31.48 a year, if not for costs associated with the carbon tax, including landfill charges."
I am trying to work out how much Carbon Tax we will pay.
Brisbane City Council's NGER's data.
| Registered Corporation | Total scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions(t CO2-e) | Total scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions(t CO2-e) | Total energy consumption (GJ) |
| Brisbane City Council1 | 263,920 | 18,271 | 2,504,217 |
So we are looking at:
| 282,191 t CO2-e |
At $23 a tonne:
| $6,490,393.00 |
1: Brisbane City Council has voluntarily provided information to the Greenhouse Energy Data Office (GEDO) concerning GreenPower renewable energy purchases, voluntarily surrendered Renewable Energy Certificates or offset scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions totals. This information has been published on the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency website – www.climatechange.gov.au/reporting.
Councilor Victoria Newton (@VictoriaNewton) directed my attention to information about capture of methane emissions from landfill: http://www.cleanenergyfuture.gov.au/emissions-from-landfill-facilities-2/ Apparently there is no charge in 2012/13 2 help deal with the changes...
