Major Facilities - Carbon Credits

The Safeguard Mechanism allows Australia's biggest polluting facilities to meet baselines (i.e. emissions limits) by purchasing carbon credits. This page focuses on credit use, ranking facilities and companies by how much they rely on credits to stay within their limits. Grid-connected electricity facilities (in brown) share a sector-wide baseline. Guides: Explainer | Navigation | Glossary
