g3 is a revolutionary gas for the

electrical transmission industry,

offering the same technical
performance as SF6 with a
GE Renewable Energy global warming potential
Grid Solutions reduced by more than 99%

g3 MULTIPLE BENEFITS
Applied to HV Switchgear, the g3 gas Global Warming The environmental benefits of g3 are not limited to global warming mitigation.
Potential (GWP) is more than 99% lower compared to SF6. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) demonstrates that using
In other words, the residual gas GWP is less than 1% of that of SF 6 g3 improves all the environmental indicators compared to SF6

g3 products feature the Utilities can adopt best Utilities may qualify for tax reduction or
same performance and practices in terms of incentives related to greenhouse
dimensions as SF6 products environment sustainability gas emission reduction
