Air emissions - lead (Pb)
AGL Loy Yang emissions of lead increased 1%. 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 83%. 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 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. |
Emissions from Kwinana Swift Power Station were included from 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. |
