SF₆, a potent greenhouse gas used in high-voltage switches, is being challenged by a climate-neutral solution using supercritical CO₂ developed by US researchers at Georgia Tech. This innovation could become the standard for decarbonizing grid operations as the EU plans to ban SF₆ by 2035.
SF₆ is 24,000 times more harmful than CO₂.
SF₆ remains in the atmosphere for millennia.
Supercritical CO₂ can isolate voltages three times better than SF₆.
EU is banning SF₆ by 2035.
Developing components that can withstand high pressure.
Fluorinated gases in alternatives can be toxic.
