[Distribution grids, mini-grids and interconnectors](https://www.materialinsights.org/energy/e_distribution/) (energy) and [Electronic specialty gases](https://www.materialinsights.org/chemicals/electronic_gases/) (chemical): 1 relationship.

## How they are linked

### 1. Price link: insulating gas

*Cost and price · Moderate · Both ways*

Medium and high-voltage switchgear often uses sulphur hexafluoride, a fluorinated gas, for insulation. Rules phasing it out because of its warming effect push buyers to alternatives. The fluorinated gases proxy shows only a weak yearly link, at 0.32.
