Abatement and baseline headroom

Avoid, reduce, substitute, remove, then compensate. The order is the point, and the numbers are all yours.

Every figure here is yours

We publish no typical abatement values, because what a haul fleet conversion or a circuit change delivers depends on your site, your grid and your ore body. A published average would be read as an estimate for your operation, and it would usually be wrong. What this tool contributes is the order, not the numbers.

Your starting point

Annual emissions for whatever the plan covers.

Current annual emissions (t CO2-e)

The mitigation hierarchy

The tier is fixed by the kind of lever, not chosen by you. Self-classification is where a hierarchy quietly collapses, so an offset purchase cannot be entered as a reduction here.

1. Avoid
Do not create the emission at all. Changing what is built, mined or processed, or not proceeding with an activity.
2. Reduce
Do the same work with less energy or less leakage. Efficiency, recovery and loss elimination.
3. Substitute
Do the same work with a lower-emitting input. Electrification, fuel switching and low-carbon supply.
4. Remove
Take carbon out of the atmosphere, or capture it before release, and store it durably. Counted separately from avoided emissions.
5. Compensate
Purchase units representing abatement elsewhere. This addresses residual emissions after the steps above. It is not abatement by the organisation and is never reported as though it were.

Your levers

Add what you actually have. Mark honestly whether each is an idea, a study, or funded.

The shape of your plan

Tier	Abatement	Committed and funded
Avoid	0 t CO2-e	0 t CO2-e
Reduce	0 t CO2-e	0 t CO2-e
Substitute	0 t CO2-e	0 t CO2-e
Remove	0 t CO2-e	0 t CO2-e
Compensate	0 t CO2-e	0 t CO2-e

Reduction you deliver

0 t CO2-e

Everything except purchased units.

Carried by compensation

0 t CO2-e

0 per cent of the plan.

Residual after the plan

0 t CO2-e

What is left against the baseline you entered.

What stands out about the structure

disclosure

No abatement has been entered, so there is nothing yet to sequence.

Declining baseline headroom

This is a model, not a determination

On the inputs you supplied, this is how a declining baseline and your emissions compare. It is a model, not a determination, and it does not reproduce the baseline the Clean Energy Regulator sets for your facility.

Years to project

Annual decline (per cent)

Abatement per year (t CO2-e)

On these inputs, modelled emissions stay below the modelled baseline across the whole projection.
