The BBC published an interesting article about SF6<\/a>, a gas used in electrical installations as an insulator and \u201cfire suppressant.\u201d This gas has been used for years in high-voltage switchgear. However, as we increasingly rely on electricity\u2014whether as a substitute for gas or to power electric vehicles\u2014we require more of it, including in wind turbines. Unfortunately, no installation is 100% leak-proof, and the impact of those leaks can be seen in the atmosphere. This is particularly concerning for a gas that is 23,000 times more potent than CO2 in warming the planet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m seeing this issue arise in my current project as well. Should we opt for compact installations because land in Amsterdam is expensive, or should we avoid using this gas altogether? After all, the entire purpose of the energy transition is to reduce greenhouse gases. It\u2019s a fascinating and challenging conflict of values! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1071,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[62,63],"class_list":["post-1124","inzicht","type-inzicht","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-energy-transition","tag-high-voltage"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSF6 has a nasty side effect... - Barnebies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/barnebies.com\/en\/insights\/sf6-has-a-nasty-side-effect\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"SF6 has a nasty side effect... - Barnebies\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The BBC published an interesting article about SF6, a gas used in electrical installations as an insulator and \u201cfire suppressant.\u201d This gas has been used for years in high-voltage switchgear.
