I thank Hon Norman Moore for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) According to the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory, the major sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Western Australia were estimated for 2005 as follows: emissions from the combustion of fuels for energy generation, 45.8 million tonnes; fugitive emissions from solid, liquid and gaseous fossil fuels that occur during the production and transport of fuels and the generation of energy, 3.3 million tonnes; industrial process emissions resulting from the production of minerals, chemicals, metals, halocarbons and sulfur fluorides, 4.5 million tonnes; agricultural emissions resulting from enteric fermentation, manure management, fire management and soil management, 12.4 million tonnes; emissions resulting from solid waste disposal, management of waste water and incineration of waste, 4.4 million tonnes; and emissions resulting from changes in land use, such as land clearing, two million tonnes.
