Even in low concentrations, it remains in the atmosphere for approximately 3200 years. SF6 can be leaked by aging or defective equipment as well as inadvertently during gas handling in any stage of ...

The tanks are made to hold sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), an electrical insulator that was once used to fill race car tires, tennis balls and even Nike Air Max shoes.

This gas is present at a low fraction, less than 5% of the mixture, and it’s less potent than SF6, Heimbach says. But C4-fluoronitriles are still powerful greenhouse gases, up to a few thousand ...

In collaboration with local utilities and adapting a proven method on SF6 management, Direct-Track has been developed as an on-line tool available to utility and industrial SF6 Gas users that require ...

A greenhouse gas 24,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide is being driven up by China’s growing electricity needs, according to a new study. CO2 is the number one greenhouse gas on our ...
