EconiQ™ - Accelerating the energy transition towards a carbon-neutral energy future
Hitachi Energy is fostering collaboration with customers and partners to find global solutions to solve the global challenge of an inclusive and equitable carbon-neutral future. Earlier this year, we launched EconiQ™ – our eco-efficient portfolio designed to deliver superior environmental performance compared to conventional solutions.
Game-changing EconiQ™ high-voltage technologies towards a carbon-neutral future
In this paper, we demonstrate how we are paving the way towards a carbon-neutral future through our EconiQ™ high-voltage portfolio. We discuss the sources of carbon emission for high-voltage equipment, describe the benefits of technologies used for reducing carbon emissions and introduce Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as the comprehensive approach to measuring environmental performance.
Now more than ever, pioneering technologies such as EconiQ™ are needed to enable customers and the industry as a whole to reduce carbon footprint and rapidly transition to eco-efficient solutions.
EconiQ™ eco-efficient high-voltage portfolio
Together with our customers and partners, we continue to lead innovation to lower the environmental impact of our products, services and solutions to support our quest towards carbon-neutrality.

EconiQ retrofill for ELK-3, 420kV gas-insulated lines
Replacing SF6 in installed high-voltage gas-insulated lines (GIL) with an eco-efficient gas mixture to improve the environmental and lifecycle performance of the equipment
EconiQ retrofill for gas-insulated lines ELK-3, 420 kV
Retrofill is the process of replacing SF6 in an existing equipment with a new eco-efficient gas mixture to improve the environmental and life-cycle performance of the equipment.
How does EconiQ retrofill work?
The innovative EconiQ retrofill solution uses eco-efficient fluoronitrile based gas mixture to replace SF6 in installed gas-insulated lines. This can be done with minimum changes to existing equipment while ensuring performance of the equipment and significantly lowering environmental impact.
Achieving world’s first SF6 replacement with National Grid
In a pilot project in Richborough, UK, Hitachi Energy and National Grid have successfully replaced SF6 in installed high-voltage gas-insulated lines with an eco-efficient fluoronitrile-based gas mixture.
