What this means
Koodaideri Mine is a facility operated by Mount Bruce Mining Pty Ltd in WA. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Koodaideri Mine must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2024–25, Koodaideri Mine came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 151 kt against an obligation of 594 kt, a surplus of 443 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.
