What this means
Australian Gas Networks (SA) Ltd is a facility operated by Australian Gas Networks Limited in SA. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Australian Gas Networks (SA) Ltd must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2021–22, Australian Gas Networks (SA) Ltd came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 107 kt against an obligation of 121 kt, a surplus of 14 kt. Facilities that come in under baseline can generate Safeguard Mechanism Credits (SMCs), which can be sold to facilities that need to cover an overage.
