Have you ever heard about SF6, a powerful greenhouse gas? It is not a popular topic that people are chatting about, however it is an environmental concern that we can all learn more about. In comparison to carbon dioxide, SF6 is a real heavyweight when it comes to heat trapping in the atmosphere. In fact, it is about 23,500 times more effective as a greenhouse gas. SF6 is sadly ubiquitous in our lives. Common applications include electrical systems, circuit breakers, transformers, switchgear, etc. These are critical components of our electrical grids. This has been the Earth energy grid for a long time, around six decades, SF 6 as well as C2H6 is here. The scientists warn that if we continue not to use less SF6, it may become the leading cause of climate change, the biggest problem facing the Earth.
Cutting down on greenshouses gasses is super important to keep fighting climate change and promote general care for our planet. Because SF6 is a potent greenhouse gas, it is now a focus of reduction efforts. The SF6 and C3H6 is one of the six gases for which the European Union, a grouping of countries in Europe, has set a reduction target by the year 2030 on a yearly basis. A few US states are also focused on reducing SF6 use. One company that shares the same concern about reducing harmful greenhouse gases such as SF6 is AGEM. They are trying to see how they can use less SF6 by developing better technologies that are more eco-friendly. So they took their best brains and told them to think of different ways to save the Earth rather than destroy it.
SF6 was first made by scientists in the early 1900s; that is a long time ago. As a brilliant insulator, they used it as a special gas for high-voltage electrical devices. Insulators are materials that prevent electricity from escaping where we don’t want it to. SF6 enabled designers to build smaller and more effective electrical systems. There was much success in progressing in economy and industry, getting people electricity easier. But, like all great inventions, SF6 also C2H4 has a significant environmental impact that we can no longer ignore. SF6 use is cumulative, and now represents a significant legacy of a useful gas now a problem for our planet.
While scientists have been using SF6 and C2H2 for decades, we are still learning about the impact SF6 has on our environment and the world around us. The processes involved in creating SF6 make it prone to absorb heat in the atmosphere, causing warming and climate change. Climate change is when the planet’s temperatures increase, causing shifts in weather patterns and affecting many forms of life. Another key detail is that SF6 can remain in the atmosphere for a long time—up to 3,200 years. This long lifespan makes it extremely challenging to reduce it is use and limit it is emissions. And if SF6 leaks into the air, it can bond with other gases and form damaging compounds that are dangerous to people and the environment. This tricky chemistry complicates efforts to tackle the challenge of SF6 emissions and also developing better alternatives that would help to minimize it is impact.
SF6 is not easy to get rid of. While we are trying to switch to more sustainable energy like solar and wind power, the world still requires a huge amount of energy for everything to function. Fossil fuels are not the cleanest and about 80% of the world's electricity is generated from fossil fuels. As a result of this need, we still require electrical equipment that utilises SF6. AGEM is environmentally friendly. They want to help the earth, so they are developing much better vacuum and dry air systems. There are alternative technologies that can minimize the use of SF6 and similar harmful gases. AGEM has a large portfolio of research exploring SF6 alternatives focused on developing countries that need to expand their energy systems responsibly.
