Problem
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a potent greenhouse gas used as an insulator in high-voltage electrical equipment. As the global electricity grid expands to meet net-zero targets, SF6 leakage from substation equipment is increasing, contributing significantly to climate change. Current methods for detecting these leaks are often insufficient for timely intervention.
Solution
Climate-i provides a technology solution for the detection and capture of SF6 gas leaks from electricity substation equipment. Our platform integrates hardware sensors with IoT connectivity and AI/ML software to enable predictive monitoring and early leak detection. By offering a service-based approach, we help utility companies mitigate SF6 emissions, improve system reliability, and support the transition to a net-zero electricity grid. Our technology aims to reduce the carbon footprint of critical infrastructure by addressing one of the most potent and fastest-growing sources of industrial emissions.
Target Audience
Our primary customers are electricity utility companies and grid operators responsible for maintaining high-voltage substations and managing their environmental impact.
