Greenhouse gas initiatives Profile of State greenhouse gas emissions In June 2005 the Australian Greenhouse Office AGO released a paper entitled State and Territory Greenhouse Gas Emissions-An It is the latest available estimate of emissions from the States and Territories and figures are taken from the National Greenhouse Inventory documenting emissions for 2002.
