Air emissions - sulphur dioxide (SO2)
Bayswater Power Station sulphur dioxide emissions increased 23% in FY24. The increase in emissions aligns with the increase in sub-bituminous coal combustion (up 10%).
AGL Loy Yang sulphur dioxide emissions increased 7% in FY24.The increase in emissions aligns with the increase in coal combustion (up 12%).
AGL Torrens sulphur dioxide emissions decreased 27%. This was due to the 69% decrease in light fuel oil combustion at Barker Inlet Power Station, and 17% decrease in pipeline natural gas combustion at Torrens Island Power Station.
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. |
Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) was introduced to Units 2, 3 and 4 at Bayswater Power Station in November 2017. |
Emissions from Kwinana Swift Power Station have been included from 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. |
