CSBP Kwinana Facility is a fertiliser manufacturing facility operated by CSBP Limited in WA. Like all covered facilities, ammonia and fertiliser production is energy and emissions-intensive. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, CSBP Kwinana Facility must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2023–24, CSBP Kwinana Facility came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 672 kt against an obligation of 735 kt, a surplus of 63 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. CSBP Kwinana Facility generated 62,865 SMCs in 2023–24.
