What this means
Enfield Project Venture is a facility operated by WOODSIDE ENERGY LTD. in WA. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Enfield Project Venture must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2017–18, Enfield Project Venture came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 200 kt against an obligation of 310 kt, a surplus of 109 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.
