"As part of our commitment towards a carbon-neutral future and accelerating the energy transition, we have chosen to work towards a standard solution to address the needs of our customers through this cross-licensing agreement," said Markus Heimbach, Managing Director of the High Voltage Products business in Hitachi ABB Power Grids. For this reason, Hitachi ABB Power Grids and GE have been investing in the development of better alternatives to SF 6. It is, however a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming if leaked. This would enable utilities and industries to accelerate their reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, while facilitating their ability to plan, as well as operate and maintain their networks thanks to standardized services and the use of the same auxiliary equipment.įor almost half a century, SF 6 gas has been the norm in the electrical power transmission and distribution industry due to its unique physical properties. Today's historic agreement paves the way for a standard SF 6-free solution for high-voltage equipment in the coming years. A recent EU Commission report concluded that fluorinitrile-based gas mixtures may be the only insulating and switching gas alternative to SF 6 when space is a constraint. This will help accelerate the use of fluoronitrile-based eco-efficient insulation and switching gas in high-voltage equipment as an alternative to SF 6. Under this landmark agreement announced just before Earth Day 2021 between two global leaders in power technologies - both companies will share complementary intellectual property related to their respective SF 6-free solutions. This fluoronitrile-based gas mixture has a significantly reduced impact on the environment compared to SF 6. and GE Renewable Energy's Grid Solutions business (NYSE: GE) announced today a non-exclusive, cross-licensing agreement related to the use of an alternative gas to sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6) used in high voltage equipment. Zurich, SWITZERLAND, ApHitachi ABB Power Grids Ltd. This historic agreement announced just before Earth Day 2021 will enable utilities to accelerate their reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. ![]() SF 6 an insulating and switching gas commonly used in high-voltage electrical equipment, is a potent greenhouse gas.An industry first, two global leaders in power technologies have entered into a non-exclusive, cross-licensing agreement that will allow them to expand their range of high-voltage equipment using a game-changing gas alternative to sul-fur hexafluoride (SF 6).Reduce environmental impact in the electrical transmission industry Hitachi ABB Power Grids and GE sign landmark agreement to
