Now ABB is back with a new innovation\u2014albeit on Earth, this time.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recently, ABB partnered with the United Kingdom Power Networks to reduce their use of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6).\u00a0 For those who don\u2019t know (we definitely didn\u2019t know at first) SF6 is the world\u2019s most potent greenhouse gas.<\/p>\n<p>In their 2030 Sustainability Strategy ABB showcased its commitment to assisting its customers and suppliers reduce emissions. This partnership will use a Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) that features AirPlus gas, which acts as an insulator between the electrical contacts with almost zero impact on the earth\u2019s atmosphere. \u00a0The GIS will enable UK Power Networks to reduce the SF6 for 8.3 million homes and businesses in their network. ABB was one of the first companies to offer SF6 free switchgear solutions and it is a major player in the company\u2019s sustainability efforts where they are attempting to transition to a completely SF6 Free portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Between their new GIS in the UK and cable ties on Mars, keep an eye out for what comes next from ABB!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/resources.news.e.abb.com\/images\/2021\/12\/20\/0\/121.jpg\" alt=\"ABB and UK Power Networks switch to a sustainable future with the world&amp;#39;s first 36 kV double busbar AirPlus\u2122 switchgear\" width=\"389\" height=\"262\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/new.abb.com\/news\/detail\/86135\/abb-and-uk-power-networks-switch-to-a-sustainable-future-with-the-worlds-first-36-kv-double-busbar-airplus-switchgear\">Photo Courtesy of: ABB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, we saw ABB cable ties as integral parts of NASA\u2019s space program, even going as far as Mars.
