Glass Production's Role in Carbon Reduction
Reducing the Carbon Footprint in Glass Production
Carbon Reduction in Glass Melt
One way to reduce the carbon intensity is to replace fossil fuels, such as natural gas, with hydrogen produced from renewable feedstock or carbon-free power. Different levels of hydrogen enrichment of natural gas (HENG) streams will help identify the operational variations, efficiencies, and emissions output of the application at various fuel blend levels. The blend will have lower CO2 emissions than natural gas alone and generate the same amount of heat.
Carbon Reduction Possible Using Linde Green™ Argon
Argon gas does not conduct heat as well as air, so it's an excellent insulator. Gas filled windows also prevent a buildup of frost at the bottom of the window during cold weather. That makes argon the gas of choice for window production. Lowering the carbon footprint of the process is as simple as using Linde Green argon which is produced using 100% carbon free energy.
