Pressurized air cables reduce the environmental impact of electric energy transmission by: 

  • A new, patented "pressurized air cable" technology
  • Replacement of overhead lines and cables with improved technical parameters
  • Better efficiency and reduced losses during operation
  • Using air for insulation (instead of SF6 gas)
  • Avoiding corona noise and shielding electromagnetic fields 
  • Compact dimensions and reduced trench dimensions
  • Using existing linear infrastructure to transmit energy
  • Improved fire protection due to metallic enclosure

Hivoduct is a Swiss High-Tech Startup which develops and produces pressurized air cables in Switzerland and provides all related customer services.
