Australia’s Carbon Price Mechanism began on 1 July 2012 and covers installations releasing more than 25,000 t CO2e per year from power generation, heavy industry, coal mining, oil and gas exploration, pipelines, legacy waste, and upstream natural gas supply.
The carbon price is initially fixed at AUD 23/tCO2e in 2012-13 rising at 4.5% in real terms annually, and a forward market has now begun to develop as businesses seek to hedge future price exposure ahead of the start of the floating price period which starts on 1 July 2015.
