Air emissions - particulates (PM2.5)
PM2.5 emissions from AGL Loy Yang and Bayswater Power Station were generally consistent with the prior year.
AGL Torrens PM2.5 emissions decreased 15%. The decrease in emissions aligns with the overall decrease in natural gas combustion at Torrens Island Power Station and Barker Inlet Power Station (down 12%).
FY24 data was updated on November 2024. A subset of data (comprising emissions associated with the combustion of black coal at Bayswater and Liddell power stations, black and brown coal as well as natural gas at AGL Loy Yang Power Station, and gas and fuel oil at AGL Torrens Power Station) was reported with the initial release of the FY24 Data Centre on August 14. |
For the purposes of this data set, AGL Torrens comprises the Torrens Island Power Station and the Barker Inlet Power Station which commenced operation in December 2019. |
All figures have been rounded to the nearest kilogram. |
Emissions from Kwinana Swift Power Station have been included since FY20. |
Air emissions data for AGL sites is publicly reported NPI data. See www.npi.gov.au/. |
The emission factors used in AGL's NPI reports are sourced from relevant industry emission estimation technique manuals available on the NPI website. |
