Ernesto Cattaneo addressed the ambitious vision of achieving a fully decarbonized glass industry by 2050, noting that this goal could be within reach with just two key furnace innovations. The focus was on the Horizon H2GLASS project, which is at the forefront of testing and demonstrating hydrogen's applications across various industries, including glass manufacturing.
The Horizon H2GLASS project brings together glass makers, industry experts, and academic institutions to advance hydrogen technology. This collaborative approach is vital for overcoming the technical challenges and scaling up hydrogen solutions for widespread use in glass production.
The insights shared at 18th Furnace Solutions underscore a promising future for hydrogen in glass manufacturing. As the industry moves towards greater sustainability, innovations like those discussed by Ernesto Cattaneo will be instrumental in achieving a decarbonized future.
