Prysmian Reaches Milestone in Developing a Negative-Carbon-Footprint Cable
April 22, 2026
Prysmian has reached a significant milestone in developing a negative-carbon-footprint cable, a breakthrough in its effort to reduce carbon emissions. This assessment uses a cradle-to-gate approach, meaning the cable’s sourcing and manufacturing processes remove more carbon emissions than they release, delivering a real positive climate benefit.
Prysmian will now begin the industrialization process of the technology using its manufacturing footprint across the world for Power Grid Customers. The technology is patent pending, ensuring Prysmian’s leadership in the development of the most advanced cable technology.
The new cables will be able to integrate into existing grid designs, and also offer unprecedented positive impacts on tackling carbon emissions thanks to two core innovations:
- Advanced Engineering: Optimized cable architecture that maintains uncompromised electrical and mechanical performance.
- Next Generation Materials: A carefully engineered combination of bio-polymers, lowcarbon and recycled materials that significantly lower and ultimately achieve product negative-carbon-footprint.
Prysmian plans to first roll-out this technology in its Power Grid business in the second half of 2026.
