The Future of Sustainable Insulating Gas Solutions
Leading the Transition to SF₆-Free Solutions
As the utility industry evolves toward more sustainable practices, C4 gas (C4F7N mixed with CO₂) has emerged as the leading eco-efficient alternative to SF₆ in medium and high- voltage electrical equipment. With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 1, C4 gas offers the same excellent insulating and arc-quenching properties as SF₆ while dramatically reducing environmental impact.
In-Gas Direct is proud to be the first name utilities think to call when they need comprehensive C4 gas handling services. Our specialized technicians are trained in the unique requirements of C4 gas systems and equipped with the latest technology to ensure zero-emission handling throughout every service.

Compressed Air (CA) Handling Services
A Clean and Cost-Effective Alternative for Medium-Voltage Applications
As the industry explores environmentally responsible alternatives to SF₆, compressed air (CA) has gained attention as a viable solution for certain medium-voltage applications—especially in switchgear designed with air-insulated technology. While not suitable for all high-voltage needs, CA is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an excellent fit for sustainability-conscious utilities.
At In-Gas Direct, our technicians are trained in the precise handling, testing, and maintenance of compressed air systems. Whether you're using CA as an insulation medium or as part of hybrid designs, we ensure your systems are operating safely and efficiently.
