Inside the Trial That Proved Hydrogen Can Fuel Eco-Friendly Glassmaking

Glass surrounds us, from the windows in our homes to the screens on our devices. Yet, few are aware of the environmental price tag attached to its production. The glass industry is a major energy consumer, with furnaces operating at over 1,500°C to melt raw materials such as silica, soda ash, and limestone. This process also makes it one of the largest industrial contributors to carbon emissions, releasing over 86 million tons of CO2 every year.
