Talinga
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
Talinga is a facility operated by ORIGIN ENERGY UPSTREAM OPERATOR PTY LTD in QLD. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, Talinga must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2021–22, Talinga came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 226 kt against an obligation of 271 kt, a surplus of 44 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.
