Air emissions - lead (Pb)
AGL Loy Yang emissions of lead increased 3%. The slight increase in point source emissions despite the decrease in operating hours was resultant from higher measurements of lead in stack tests.
Bayswater Power Station emissions of lead increased 82%. Point source lead emissions are calculated using stack test data and total gas flow allocated to each unit. The increase in lead emissions was mostly driven by the higher measurements of lead for all stack test units and increased operating hours for Unit 1 and Unit 4.
AGL Torrens emissions of lead increased 28%. This is due to the 40% increase in pipeline natural gas combustion at Torrens Island Power Station and Barker Inlet Power Station.
FY25 data was updated in November 2025. A subset of data (comprising emissions associated with the combustion of black coal at Bayswater Power Station, black and brown coal as well as natural gas at AGL Loy Yang Power Station, and gas and fuel oil at AGL Torrens) was reported with the initial release of the FY25 Data Centre on August 13. |
For the purposes of this data set, AGL Torrens comprises the Torrens Island Power Station and the Barker Inlet Power Station. |
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. |
