Canada Imperial Electrical Power Group (CIEP Group) is located in Vancouver, B.C.,
the largest industrial, commercial, technological and cultural city on Canada’s west coast.
Vancouver is renowned for its beautiful scenery and abundant resources and is becoming a global hub for clean energy and economic development.
SF6 is a greenhouse gas that is 23,900 times more potent than CO2, and it remains stable in the atmosphere for up to 3,200 years. To protect the atmospheric environment, SF6 was listed as one of the six greenhouse gases prohibited to be discharged into the atmosphere in Kyoto Protocol issued in 1997. It is vital and mandatory that SF6 is collected and stored after measurement, for EU and IEEE have promulgated regulations of SF6 gas use and treatment to reduce the emissions into the environment. It is also important to collect and store the used SF6 gas after measurement for SF6 field test staff safety.
The electric industry has been willing to accept the challenges of using SF₆ as an insulating gas because of its dielectric properties and reliability. But SF₆ is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 23,500 times that of CO2 when compared over a 100-year period. In fact, it is the most potent greenhouse gas that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has ever evaluated. With an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 3,200 years, the concentration of SF₆ continues to increase in the atmosphere. This led 3M to collaborate with industry leaders to come up with alternative solutions using Novec Insulating Gases. Tests demonstrate greenhouse gas reductions of more than 99% in on-grid commercial equipment.
