Sparks Electrical manufactures utility-grade electrical switchgear that uses sulfur-hexaflouride (SF6) as an insulating agent, and while they have safeguards against accidental release, some SF6 emissions do still occur. For their annual GHG emissions reporting requirements the amount of SF6 emissions also need to be reported. A GHG inventory determined SF6 emissions amounted to 5 kilograms. For reporting purposes, however, these emissions need to be converted to CO2 equivalent (CO2e).

Q. How many Tonnes of CO2e are these emissions? - show your calculations. 1 Tonne = 1,000 kg
