The safeguard mechanism will apply to facilities that report under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) scheme and emit more than 100 000 tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) covered emissions in a financial year.
The Clean Energy Regulator held safeguard mechanism workshops in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane during April and May 2016. The workshops were designed to inform and advise corporations of their obligations under the safeguard mechanism. The interactive workshop programme included:
- an overview of the safeguard mechanism
- the process for setting reported baselines
- calculated baselines – criteria and how to apply for a calculated baseline
