Be sure to tune in for our webinar, Will electrical industry succeed in phasing-out SF6 from MV switchgear? on May 17, 2022, at 11:00-12:00 CET (Europe) and May 24, 2022, at 14:00-15:00 EDT/11:00-12:00 PDT (Americas).
SF6 is 25,200 times more potent than CO2 and has a lifespan of 3,200 years in the atmosphere. It is extensively used in gas-insulated switchgear and other electrical equipment (gas-insulated lines, gas-insulated switches, transformers, etc.) due to its excellent dielectric and arc quenching properties and reduction in electrical equipment size leading to resource minimization. Since MV switchgear market is set to expand due to renewables’ share of electricity generation being projected to reach ~ 40 % by 2030, there is a case for encouraging investment in SF6 alternatives.
This webinar will deep-dive into the following topics:
- Climate change policies and current legislation on the usage of SF6 in MV switchgear.
- The impact on the global MV switchgear market due to the European Commission’s recent proposal to ban SF6 in all new switchgear after 2030.
- The role of SF6-free switchgear suppliers in this rapidly changing landscape of energy transition and the bottlenecks in the widespread adoption of SF6-free switchgear.
Our speakers include Saifa Khalid and Muhammad Usman with Maleeha Tariq being the moderator of the discussion.
