NGP
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.
Reported emissions vs baseline, 2018–19 to 2021–22

| Year | Emissions | Baseline | Gap† | ACCUs | SMCs | Compliance† |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21–22 | 108 kt | 116 kt | -8 kt | — | — | Under baseline |

Emissions, baseline, ACCUs and SMCs are reported directly by CER. †Gap and compliance category are calculated by Zerra from those figures.
What this means
NGP is a facility operated by JEMENA NORTHERN GAS PIPELINE PTY LTD in NT; QLD. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, NGP must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2021–22, NGP came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 108 kt against an obligation of 116 kt, a surplus of 8 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.
