GRI 305-3 Other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions
Material Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions - Scope 3 emissions come from our wider supply chain. We have reported below on the material Scope 3 emissions, which contribute the most to our total Scope 3 emissions.

(a) Emissions associated with contracted purchases of electricity from specific generation assets that are not operated by Alinta Energy.
(b) Relates to Alinta Energy’s capacity agreement with Loy Yang B power station.
(c) While wind and solar generation do not have any material emissions associated with their electricity generation, they reduce our overall emissions intensity.

(a) This relates to our Pinjarra power station which is embedded in Alcoa’s facility and operated by Alcoa.
(b) This relates to other emissions of the Pinjarra power station that are not for the purpose of generating electricity, and therefore have no associated emissions intensity.
