Ravensworth Underground Coal Mine
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
Ravensworth Underground Coal Mine is a facility operated by Resource Pacific Pty Limited in NSW. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Ravensworth Underground Coal Mine must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2021–22, Ravensworth Underground Coal Mine came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 127 kt against an obligation of 174 kt, a surplus of 47 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.
