What is EmWise?

EmWise is a transport emissions platform built for Australian logistics operators who must measure and report greenhouse gas emissions under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (NGER). It implements NGER Method 1 — the fuel-based calculation approach defined in the NGER (Measurement) Determination — and produces auditable Scope 1 and Scope 3 figures.

EmWise is designed around three use cases:

• Manual entry — operators calculate emissions job-by-job through the web calculator
• CSV import — bulk upload of historical or period-end job data
• API integration — TMS or ERP systems submit jobs programmatically and receive emission results in real time

Getting access

EmWise is invite-only. To create an account, ask your organisation's administrator to send you an invitation from the User Management page. You will receive an email with a link to set your password.

Roles available:

• Org Admin — full access including user management, API key creation, and report generation
• Org Member — can submit jobs, run the calculator, and view analytics
• Client Member — scoped to a single client within the organisation

Platform overview

Calculator

The web calculator is the fastest way to get an emission figure for a single job. Select transport mode, fuel type, vehicle class, enter fuel quantity in kilolitres, and EmWise returns Scope 1 and Scope 3 values in tonnes CO₂-e.

The correct emission factor is chosen automatically based on your inputs and the NGER reporting year derived from the job date.

CSV import

For bulk uploads, prepare a CSV with one row per job. The required columns are origin, destination, transport_mode, fuel_type, and fuel_quantity. See Data Requirements for the full column reference and example rows.

API

Emit calculations from your TMS or ERP by calling POST /jobs with a structured JSON body. The API validates inputs, selects the correct emission factor, persists the job and calculation, and returns the result synchronously. See the API Reference to get started.

Analytics

The Analytics dashboard shows total emissions by period, transport mode, and client. Data refreshes after each job submission. Charts are filterable by NGER reporting year.

Reports

NGER reports aggregate all calculations within a reporting period into a structured output grouped by facility and client. Once generated, report snapshots are immutable — the figures cannot change retroactively even if factors are updated in a future year.

Reporting years

The NGER reporting year runs 1 July to 30 June. EmWise attributes each job to a reporting year based on the departure date (or arrival date if departure is not provided). A job departing on 15 June 2025 belongs to the 2025 reporting year (1 July 2024 – 30 June 2025). A job departing on 1 July 2025 belongs to the 2026 reporting year.
