What this means
Dartbrook Coal Mine is a facility operated by AQC DARTBROOK MANAGEMENT PTY LTD in NSW. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Dartbrook Coal Mine must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2019–20, Dartbrook Coal Mine came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 112 kt against an obligation of 119 kt, a surplus of 7 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.
