Replacing SF6 and reducing leaks is critical—SF6 has a 100-year GWP of ~23,500 (IPCC AR5)—so alternatives and tight leak controls cut environmental risk. Modular, lightweight equipment and efficient logistics lower transport emissions and speed upgrades. Robust reporting under CSRD\/GRI increases transparency and accountability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial choices: design for recyclability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSF6: GWP ~23,500; prioritize alternatives\/leak reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModular design + efficient logistics = lower scope 3 emissions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReporting: CSRD\/GRI to track progress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"get_full_prdct_green\" onclick=\"get_full()\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/PESTLE-Content-Enviromental-Box-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEU funds boost Italian grid: \u003cstrong\u003e€12bn\u003c\/strong\u003e capex to accelerate \u003cstrong\u003e45%\u003c\/strong\u003e renewables target\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEU 2030 renewables target 42.5% and net‑zero by 2050 force Terna to speed grid reinforcement, reduce curtailment and manage inertia.
