Cadent Gas Limited’s Post

From windows to windscreens, glass is all around us! It has been a cornerstone of UK industry for many years - and will be central to a sustainable, net zero future.     In Episode 5 of #SustainabilityInsiders, Chris Dye from NSG Group (Pilkington Glass) explains the innovations which are transforming its energy-intensive manufacturing processes.     Recent UK trials of using hydrogen in place of natural gas to fuel its furnaces in St Helens was a landmark moment and a great success, he explains.     We learn that major changes can only be made to the furnaces once every 15 to 20 years, so decisions made in the next few years are key to achieving net zero by 2050.     The podcast covers recycling glass (the word you're going to learn here is 'cullet'), solar power technologies, and supporting a very large supply chain.     🎙️Sustainability Insiders is our new podcast, where we talk to business leaders about how they’re making their companies, or industries, more sustainable. We hope it inspires you, whatever stage you are at on your own sustainability journey.     Apple Podcasts https://lnkd.in/ewBBT32m Spotify https://lnkd.in/esrYbHZn   Other podcast apps https://lnkd.in/eJvaRmpA     #sustainability #greenindustry #innovation #netzero #podcast Pilkington United Kingdom Limited Supply Chain Sustainability School (UK)
