What this means
New Illawarra Road Landfill is a facility operated by VEOLIA RECYCLING & RECOVERY ANZ PTY LIMITED in NSW. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, New Illawarra Road Landfill must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2021–22, New Illawarra Road Landfill came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 128 kt against an obligation of 307 kt, a surplus of 179 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.
