It's impossible to overstate the urgency of cutting carbon emissions. In 2021, global emissions hit an all-time high of 37.1 bn metric tons - and the energy sector has a greater carbon impact than every other industry combined. The elimination of F-gases (and SF6 in particular) from electrical switchgear needs to be achieved as soon as possible.
Our clean air Blue portfolio already provides a viable alternative, and the shift towards a Zero F-gas future is supported by recent EU legislation to curb the use of these climate- hostile substances.
No single company or organization has all the answers, however. The key to tackling the situation is forming partnerships. All industry stakeholders - companies, governments, scientists, even competitors - need to join forces.
