Air emissions - oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
AGL Loy Yang oxides of nitrogen emissions decreased 7% in FY26. The decrease in emissions aligns with the decrease in brown coal combustion and total electricity generation in the reporting period.
Bayswater Power Station oxides of nitrogen emissions decreased 19% in FY26. The observed decrease in emissions occurred with a slight decrease in black coal combustion and total electricity generated. Oxides of nitrogen emissions are influenced by combustion conditions, including oxygen levels and temperature.
AGL Torrens oxides of nitrogen emissions decreased 44% in FY26. The decrease in emissions aligns with the overall decrease in pipeline natural gas combustion at AGL Torrens.
FY26 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 2026. |
For the purposes of this data set, AGL Torrens comprises the Torrens Island Power Station and the Barker Inlet Power Station. |
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. |
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. |
AGL Torrens emissions are calculated from the application of emission factors to the quantity of fuel combusted at Torrens Island Power Station and Barker Inlet Power Station. In FY26, these emission factors for Barker Inlet Power Station were updated due to more accurate emissions and pollutant reduction factors in the NPI guidance manual. |
AGL Loy Yang natural gas use for June 2026 was estimated. This will be updated in November 2026. |
