In our final thread about SF₆ gas, here’s why it’s important to transition away from SF₆. Given its significant environmental impact, transitioning to alternative technologies, such as dry air-insulated vacuum circuit breakers, is crucial. These alternatives provide similar performance benefits without the harmful environmental effects, helping to reduce the carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. By understanding the drawbacks of SF₆ and opting for greener technologies, industries can play a pivotal role in mitigating climate change and protecting our planet.

SF₆ is the strongest greenhouse gas; 1 kg corresponds to around 24 tonnes of CO₂. Nevertheless, we use it for climate protection, e.g. as an insulator in wind turbine switchgear and for the precise calibration of measuring devices that improve the energy efficiency of industrial processes. ⚙️ To prevent SF₆ leaks, we install precise measuring devices and intelligent monitoring systems that enable immediate reporting. ⚗️ Used SF₆ is collected in gas cylinders, cleaned and reused in line with the circular economy. 🌱 Repairing and recycling protects the environment.

Interest and investment in the Direct Air Carbon Removal Sub-Sector of the Energy Sector has been remarkable in the past 5 years. Perhaps no other energy technology has ever grown so fast. In spite of this rapid growth all of the existing DACR facilities combined can only remove a fraction of what is needed to keep us below the 450 ppm Climate Deadline. We will need a large-scale, government-funded campaign and we need it now!

Time is ticking ⏰ Soon California will exclusively produce electric heaters only . This will be a change especially for the HVAC industry , We will need to comply with new regulations and standards associated with the phase-out of gas heaters. This may involve adapting manufacturing processes, product certifications, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Why the change? The phasing out of gas heaters in California by 2030 is part of the state's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. This initiative aligns with California's broader goals related to environmental protection and combating climate change. #hvaclife #thefuture #prepare #hvacindustry
