Air emissions - particulates (PM10)
AGL Loy Yang emissions decreased 17%. The decrease in point source emissions aligns with the decrease in coal combustion (down ~10%). Fugitive emissions include dust emissions and exhaust emissions from vehicles and equipment, and there was a ~15% decrease due to changes in open areas.
Bayswater Power Station emissions increased by 22%. Emissions are split approximately 44/56 between point source and fugitive sources. Point source emissions, which are calculated using PM10 measured via stack tests and gas flow, increased significantly by 63% due to the increased measurements of PM10 at Units 3 and Unit 4. Fugitive emissions, which include dust emissions and exhaust emissions from vehicles and equipment, increased slightly by 2%.
AGL Torrens emissions increased 39%. The increase in emissions aligns with the overall increase in pipeline natural gas combustion at Torrens Island Power Station and Barker Inlet Power Station (up 40%).
FY25 data includes emissions associated with the combustion of black coal and diesel at the Bayswater Power Station, black and brown coal as well as natural gas at AGL Loy Yang, and natural gas and fuel oil at AGL Torrens. It also includes estimates of fugitive emissions at these sites. The remaining data will be made available in November 2025. |
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 were 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. |
