Topic: 72
Abstract:
The presentation will look at the options for the glass industry to decarbonise by investigating all fuel options in melting and forming. The presentation will give examples on what has been achieved so far and what more can be done. It will discuss large scale electric furnace melting and especially show how a recent installation on a glass forehearth has cut energy use by nearly 90% and eliminated carbon dioxide from the process if the electricity is green.
