Maryvale Mill
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
Maryvale Mill is a facility operated by PAPER AUSTRALIA PTY LTD in VIC. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Maryvale Mill must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2018–19, Maryvale Mill came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 350 kt against an obligation of 407 kt, a surplus of 57 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.
