Change for Good with Fives at Glasstec 2024
Change For Good
The glass sector has long been associated with energy-intensive and polluting practices, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Our electric melting solutions, hybrid technology, and oxy-fuel combustion systems pave the way for greener glass production. By reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing energy efficiency, we are committed to reshaping glass manufacturing for a sustainable future.
- Prium® E-Melt – All-electric technology: deployed at Verallia, the all-electric furnace has achieved a 60% reduction in CO2 emissions at the plant level. It’s the largest all-electric furnace for the glass packaging industry. .
- Prium® Eco-Flex – Hybrid technology: this innovative technology, will be installed for O-I’s Veauche plant in France. allowing for a 70% replacement of fossil fuels and a 43% reduction in CO2 emissions at the site. It will be the first air-gas hybrid furnace for glass packaging applications.
- Prium® Oxy-Melt – Oxy-fuel combustion: this low-energy furnace has been recently commissioned at Guardian Glass’ plant in Bascharage, Luxembourg. Over time, the technology should reduce the furnace’s gas consumption by 25% and CO2 emissions by 20% compared to a conventional air-fuel furnace.
