Hey CO2 is still greenhouse. I guess not while it's contained and in its supercritical state, but if it's released to atmosphere then gas it will be.
Excited for the guys at Chalfont to test this out eventually, another fun chance to see if something goes boom :)
- Aurornis 1y ago> Hey CO2 is still greenhouse SF6 has 25,000 times the 100-year global warming potential as CO2. You’d have to accidentally vent thousands of these breakers to equal the same global warming potential as one SF6 breaker When it comes to topics like this, reducing it to a binary is-or-isn’t greenhouse gas is the wrong way to look at it.
- colechristensen 1y agoThese breakers are carbon neutral because the CO2 comes either straight from the atmosphere or is harvested from sources that would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere.
- tigerlily 1y agoI was responding to the badly editorialised title which read "without greehouse gases". I think I am on pretty solid ground here, the title misled. Now the title reads "Reinventing". Is this a pejorative? Engineers make firsts too. TFA's title works just fine.
- excalibur 1y agoThis. I don't doubt that the new design is a vast emissions improvement. But the title clearly says without greenhouse gas, and CO2 is the poster child for greenhouse gases.
- tigerlily 1y agoThe thing that baffles me is folk in this community so willingly put their critical thinking skills to one side to downvote your post.
