This source category is comprised of electrical transmission and distribution systems and facilities that manufacture or refurbish electrical equipment.

The electrical transmission and distribution equipment use subsector consists of all electric transmission and distribution equipment insulated with or containing sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or perfluorocarbons (PFCs) within an electric power system. This equipment includes but is not limited to gas-insulated substations; circuit breakers; switchgear, including closed-pressure and hermetically sealed-pressure switchgear; gas-insulated lines containing SF6 or PFCs; and gas containers such as pressurized cylinders, gas carts, electric power transformers, and other containers of SF6 or PFCs.

The electrical equipment manufacturing or refurbishment subsector consists of electrical equipment manufacturers and refurbishers of closed-pressure equipment and sealed pressure equipment insulated with SF6 or PFCs. This equipment includes gas insulated substations, circuit breakers and other switchgear, gas-insulated lines, or power transformers containing SF66 or PFCs.

• 2012 Total Reported Direct Emissions from Production and Use of Electrical Equipment, by Subsector (as of 9/1/13).

  

• Location and emissions range for each reporting facility in the subsector (as of 9/1/13).

  

  This map shows the locations of direct-emitting facilities. The size of a circle corresponds to the quantity of emissions reported by that facility.

Totals may not equal sum of individual GHGs due to independent rounding.
** Total reported emissions are less than 0.05 million metric tons CO2e.
NR means that this value was not reported.
