EconiQ® high-voltage technology and innovation
EconiQ™ high-voltage technology and innovation Our promise towards a sustainable energy future for all
In today’s rapidly changing world, our energy systems face major challenges—one of them being the environmental impact of Sulfur hexafluoride (SF₆), a gas widely used in the electrical industry since 1958. While effective for insula-tion, SF₆ has an extremely high Global Warming Potential (GWP), posing serious environmental and safety con-cerns.
Hitachi Energy has addressed this with EconiQ, an eco-efficient alternative to SF₆. Using a sustainable gas blend, including CO₂ and O₂, EconiQ improves safety and reduces environmental impact. One of its key benefits is a simi-lar installation footprint to SF₆, making it easy to integrate into existing infrastructure. It’s also fully scalable across different voltage levels, making it a ready-to-deploy solution for diverse applications.
This innovative technology delivers reliable performance while drastically reducing equivalent CO₂ emissions, help-ing to mitigate climate impact. EconiQ is not just a technical advancement—it’s a reflection of Hitachi Energy’s commitment to sustainability and protecting the planet for future generations.
