TEM01
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, 2016–17 to 2020–21

Emissions, baseline, ACCUs and SMCs are reported directly by CER. †Gap and compliance category are calculated by Zerra from those figures.
What this means
TEM01 is a facility operated by TASMANIAN ELECTRO METALLURGICAL COMPANY PROPRIETARY LIMITED in TAS. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, TEM01 must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2020–21, TEM01 came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 275 kt against an obligation of 505 kt, a surplus of 230 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.
