GHGRP 2014: Electrical Equipment Production and Use
This source category comprises electrical transmission and distribution systems and facilities that manufacture or refurbish electrical equipment.
The electrical transmission and distribution 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. Emissions are from leakage of fluorinated greenhouse gases during the servicing and use of the equipment.

- 2014 Total Reported Direct Emissions from Production and Use of Electrical Equipment Sector, by Subsector (as of 8/16/15).
Sum of percentages may not equal 100% due to independent rounding.
- Location and emissions range for each reporting facility in the Electrical Equipment Production and Use sector (as of 8/16/15).
This map shows the locations of direct-emitting facilities. The size of a circle corresponds to the quantity of emissions reported by that facility.
