The Clean Energy Regulator has today released the
2019–20 safeguard facility reported emissions data.
In 2019–20, 215 safeguard facilities reported a total of 143 million tonnes CO2-e covered emissions.
Responsible emitters used a range of options to meet their obligations, including applying for a calculated or production-adjusted baseline, multi-year monitoring period, and surrendering Australian carbon credit units (ACCUs) to offset their emissions.
In addition to having a reported, calculated or production-adjusted baseline in force:
- 10 facilities entered a multi-year monitoring period to average emissions below their baseline
- 4 facilities had their multi-year monitoring period extended by a year
- 13 entities surrendered 246,539 ACCUs. Of the ACCUs surrendered, 11 entities sourced and surrendered 88,325 ACCUs.
All safeguard entities met their safeguard obligations by the 28 February 2021 deadline.
