Scenario for reducing SF6 operating emissions from electrical equipment through the use of alternative insulating gases

The SF6 and Alternative Gases working group has developed two future scenarios on how the introduction of new technologies to replace sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) in the field of electrical energy supply can help to achieve the EU Commission‘s ambitious goals of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. In addition to the technical feasibility, the scenarios also consider the challenges of providing appropriate products in sufficient quantities and integrating them into the existing power grid while ensuring the energy supply at all times.
