In the transmission and distribution of electricity, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is widely used around the world as an insulating gas in medium and high-voltage equipment. While SF6 is commonly used in the energy sector in switchgear, transformers and other electrical equipment for insulation, it is a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). ABB works with FirstEnergy to figure out a more sustainable SF6-free switchgear solution.

Recently, ABB published the first in a series of new reports for the energy and wastewater sectors to highlight the impact that technology can have in enabling industrial customers to reduce carbon emissions and manage the energy transition for a more sustainable future. With the United Nations predicting a 40 percent water deficit by 2040, ABB has conducted research to reveal how better use of wastewater could relieve pressure on water supplies.
