Safeguard Mechanism
Stay under baseline. Stay out of the news.
The reformed Safeguard Mechanism requires covered facilities to stay within declining baselines or surrender Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) and Safeguard Mechanism Credits (SMCs). Emify tracks your trajectory, models headroom and alerts you before you breach.
What Emify does for Safeguard Mechanism
- Baseline trajectory modelling against 4.9% annual decline schedule
- Real-time headroom monitoring — surplus and deficit forecast
- SMC and ACCU procurement sandbox with cost modelling
- Production-variable baseline recalculation as output data updates
- CER lodgement preparation and audit evidence
- Integration with NGER reporting — no double data entry
- Regulatory Sentinel monitors CER rule changes and baseline updates
