Scope 3 emissions
AGL's material Scope 3 emissions for FY23 were relatively consistent with FY22. Declining Scope 3 emissions from the supply of electricity to customers was driven by reduced sales volumes and lower grid intensity in FY23. Declining Scope 3 emissions from the supply of natural gas to customers and the end use of natural gas by customers was driven by lower commercial & industrial and wholesale customer sales volumes. Other Scope 3 emissions data for FY23 will be finalised in 2024.
Scope 3 emissions source | FY23 |
|---|---|
Supply of electricity to customers | 7.0 |
Supply of natural gas to customers | 1.3 |
End use of natural gas by customers | 6.1 |
End use of coal sold to Loy Yang B | 10.0 |
Other (emissions from staff travel, waste, investments etc.) | Not available |
Notes
Supply of electricity to customers includes emissions associated with the transmission and distribution of electricity as well as from upstream activities including generation where AGL is short.
Electricity produced by AGL and sold into energy markets is excluded from this footprint.
Sale of electricity and gas to ActewAGL (for supply to ActewAGL customers) is included as ActewAGL is a customer of AGL.
Supply of natural gas to customers includes emissions associated with the production, transportation and distribution of natural gas sold.
The calculation methodology for Scope 3 emissions associated with electricity supplied to customers has been updated to more accurately reflect our full supply chain.
All Scope 3 emissions calculations are estimates based on the best available data and methodologies at the time of publication.
Greenhouse gas emissions are rounded to the nearest 0.1 MtCO2e.
