Mannering Colliery
The Safeguard Mechanism requires Australia's largest industrial facilities to keep net emissions under a legislated, stepping-down baseline — or offset the difference with carbon credits.

What this means
Mannering Colliery is a facility operated by LAKECOAL PTY LTD in NSW. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Mannering Colliery must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2016–17, Mannering Colliery came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 128 kt against an obligation of 210 kt, a surplus of 82 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.
