ETS status

Safeguard Mechanism (baseline-and-credit, not traditional ETS); covers ~215 facilities

Exposed operators

BHP, Rio Tinto, Woodside Energy, AGL Energy, Santos

Trade system impact

Safeguard Mechanism reforms (July 2023) tightened baselines; creates ACCU demand. Mining-sector exposure concentrated.

Proof-pack relevance

ACCU (Australian Carbon Credit Unit) market integrity has been a live critique subject; proof-pack disclosure is directly applicable to ACCU methodology reforms.
