Railton is a cement & lime facility operated by CEMENT AUSTRALIA (GOLIATH) PTY LIMITED in TAS. Like all covered facilities, cement production releases CO₂ from limestone calcination as well as fuel combustion. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Railton must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2023–24, Railton reported emissions of 984 kt against a baseline obligation of 984 kt — an overage of 681 t. The facility covered the overage using 681 Safeguard Mechanism Credits (SMCs) — credits generated by other covered facilities that came in under their own baselines.
Across the cement & lime sector, 2 of 7 covered facilities reported emissions above their baseline in 2023–24. The table below compares Railton with other cement & lime facilities covered by the Safeguard Mechanism.
