About this Manual
The aggregated emissions manuals complement the NPI Industry handbooks, and are intended to enable State and Territory Governments to estimate emissions from non-industrial activities (e.g. transportation, domestic and commercial activities) and emissions from industry which are not reported because the relevant thresholds are not exceeded.
This manual provides guidance on the estimation of aggregated emissions from the domestic burning of gaseous fuels, including natural gas, town gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). As these fuels are widely used throughout the country in domestic applications, their consumption can make a significant contribution to regional emissions.

Application of the Manual
Each of the aggregated emissions manuals provides details of:
- the NPI substances that are expected to be emitted from the relevant aggregated source type;
- the origins or sources of the emissions, and the processes that may generate them;
- the impacts of any control equipment or procedures on those emissions;
- the broad approaches that may be employed in the estimation and spatial allocation of emissions;
- details of emission factors to be used in the estimation of emissions; and
- a series of illustrative sample calculations for each estimation technique.
