Offshore wind uses sulphur hexaflouride, a potent greenhouse gas.
Sulphur hexaflouride (SF6) is 23,500 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. SF6 easily leaks from electrical switches and adds to climate warming effects. Offshore wind projects will house significant amounts of SF6 in the switch gears and offshore substations, in an environment vulnerable to strong winds and extreme weather.
