Air emissions - particulates (PM2.5)
AGL Loy Yang emissions decreased 14%.
Bayswater Power Station emissions increased 62%. The observed increase in emissions directly align with the increase in PM10 measured via stack tests. PM2.5 emissions are calculated based on gas flow and PM10 stack tests, which also increased by 63% due to the increased measurements of PM10 at Units 3 and Unit 4.
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 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. |
