What is sulfur Hexafluoride?

• SF6 is a colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-flammable gas.

• 5 times heavier than air

• Extremely stable gas with high dielectric strength and excellent arc-quenching properties

buta potent greenhouse gas

1 lb SF6 = 22,500 lbs CO2 equivalent

The SF6 ReUse Program - Normal Case

• Determine gas quality

• Remove SF6 from electrical enclosure

• Filter contaminants

• Re-analyze

• Re-introduce SF6 into enclosure

The SF6 ReUse Program – Special Case• Contact a Solvay company to receive sampling kit

• Gas is analyzed to determine suitability for reclaiming

• Company sends used SF6 back to a gas handling facility in specially marked cylinders

• When a sufficient quantity is obtained, used gas is sent back to Solvay Fluor’s production facility in Germany

• Used SF6 is fed back into virgin SF6production stream

• Fulfills all requirements of virgin gas

Life Cycle Assessment

• Provides comprehensive consideration of entire power supply system.

• Looks beyond the environmental view limited to the greenhouse potential of a unit of SF6

Life Cycle Assessment is directed to allrelevant environmental criteria

Life Cycle Assessment - Conclusions

• Use of SF6 leads to considerable environmental advantages

• Requires the use of GIS installations that ensure low SF6 emissions and rigorous application of a closed loop SF6 cycle (ReUse Program)

Technical and logistical prerequisites for this effort already exist

User Agreements

• Generally recognized that there are no suitable alternatives for SF6 in the short or medium term

• No plans foreseen to legislate phase-out of SF6

• Government bodies and agencies have implemented a number of voluntary programs aimed at reducing SF6 emissions

• Europe – CIGRE• USA - EPA

United States Environmental Protection Agency

The EPA’s SF6 Emissions Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems

The partnership’s primary goal is to

achieve environmental and economic benefits by reducing SF6 emissions

EPA’s Memorandum of Understanding

• To become a partner, interested parties sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

• MOU is a voluntary agreement between EPA and industry partners that outlines the roles and responsibilities of each party.

MOU commits partners to explore only the emissions abatement strategies that are both technically and economically feasible,

permitting individual partners to determine the best strategy for their particular situation.
