Navigating SF6: A guide for utilities – on-demand webinar

Watch on-demand

Webinar synopsis:

Recorded on Monday 26th March 2024 

As the world grapples with the task of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the electrical industry faces meaningful change in the switchgear sector where SF6 gas had been used routinely up until now. SF6 is an extremely potent synthetic greenhouse gas that lasts for thousands of years in the atmosphere, with every 1 kg of SF6 equating to the emission of 24,300kg of CO2.

In this webinar, we examine the latest developments in SF6 legislation, explore the essential information that utility companies need to know, and set out the considerations they must keep in mind to navigate the gradual phase-out of switchgear that relies on SF6 in Europe. The switch to SF6-free switchgear in Europe is not just a regulatory requirement but a crucial step in the onward journey towards ever-increased environmentally responsibility in industry. Asset managers will play a pivotal role in steering their companies through this transformation, by ensuring compliance and making the most of the opportunities that SF6-free switchgear presents.
