Submission: Safeguard Mechanism reforms for industrial transformations
14 October 2026
IGCC proposes reforms that will improve the Safeguard's ability to support on-site emissions reductions and create a productive, futureproofed industrial base that can serve the Australian economy to Net Zero and beyond, addressing transition barriers that inhibit companies from deploying near-term abatement technologies, and demonstrating efficiencies that can be gained by introducing more nuance into the scheme.
