Sustainable fuels could reduce glassmaking carbon emissions by 80%

A report suggests sustainable fuels in the use of glass manufacturing could reduce carbon emissions by up to 80%.

UK research organisation Glass Futures published its report for the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) which answers some of the fundamental questions surrounding low carbon fuels within the UK glass industry, with learnings applicable to the global industry.

Funded by BEIS’s Energy Innovation Programme under their ‘Industrial Fuel Switching Competition: Phase 3’, Glass Futures worked with industry, academia, and its member organisations on a series of trials to advance alternative sustainable fuel technology options for the glass sector.
