This guide helps you explore Major Facility data. For broader context, read the explainer: Introduction to Major Facility Emissions in Australia.

Summary

The Major Facility section is designed to help you explore data about Australia's biggest polluting facilities and the companies behind them. The core structure revolves around three dimensions:

Key metrics: Gross emissions, baselines, and credits
Peer-to-peer comparisons via ANZSIC levels: Division, Subdivision, Group, Class (Read more)
Individual entity views: Facility-level or aggregated company-level data

Each ANZSIC level has the following:

Overall category view:

/division/{division name}
/subdivision/{subdivision name}
/group/{group name}
/class/{class name}

For example:

Dashboards by key metric:

/division/{division name}/gross
/division/{division name}/baseline
/division/{division name}/credits
- All the above also go for /subdivision, /group and /class.

For example:

Lists and Rankings for each metric within each division, subdivision, group and class:

By facility

/division/{division name}/gross/by-facility/list
/division/{division name}/baseline/by-facility/list
/division/{division name}/credits/by-facility/list
- All the above also go for /subdivision, /group and /class.

By company

/division/{division name}/gross/by-company/list
/division/{division name}/baseline/by-company/list
/division/{division name}/credits/by-company/list
- All the above also go for /subdivision, /group and /class.

For example:

Start at the Top Level

Begin at the main Major Facilities dashboard for a broad overview of all facility data. Use the Companies Behind Facilities dashboard for data aggregated at the company level.

Choose Your Metric

Decide whether you want to explore:

Gross emissions – the total emissions output
Baselines – the emissions limits for each facility and how much breathing space, or headroom, they have
Credits – reliance on credits to achieve net emissions reductions

Dive into Rankings

For detailed lists showing all the biggest players, start with rankings across all facilities:
