What this means

Cockburn Operations is a cement & lime facility operated by ADBRI LIMITED in WA. Like all covered facilities, cement production releases CO₂ from limestone calcination as well as fuel combustion. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Cockburn Operations must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.

In 2023–24, Cockburn Operations came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 657 kt against an obligation of 672 kt, a surplus of 15 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. Cockburn Operations generated 14,615 SMCs in 2023–24.

Across the cement & lime sector, 2 of 7 covered facilities reported emissions above their baseline in 2023–24. The table below compares Cockburn Operations with other cement & lime facilities covered by the Safeguard Mechanism.
