As part of our Customer Roadshow, we’re connecting with leading industrial and power companies across the North West and beyond, to hear about their plans to reduce carbon emissions and support the creation of clean jobs. Decarbonising industrial processes is critical to achieving the UK Government’s 2030 clean energy goals, with industry accounting for approximately 25% of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. However, it’s a complex challenge that demands collaborative solutions. That’s why companies like Pilkington United Kingdom Limited and NGF Europe (NSG Group), both part of the NSG Group, are actively exploring opportunities to source low-carbon hydrogen from HyNet. Over the past few years, Pilkington UK has been excited about the potential of low-carbon hydrogen to support the production of low-carbon glass. As part of our visit the company explained why HyNet will play a pivotal role in reducing its reliance on fossil gas in Pilkington UK’s glass furnace, ultimately driving further progress in decarbonising its glass manufacturing processes. Neil Syder, Managing Director at Pilkington UK, said “Securing a reliable, cost-effective supply of hydrogen at our Greengate Works site will enable us to transition from producing low-carbon glass on a run-by-run basis to making it our standard manufacturing procedure. This marks a crucial step toward delivering carbon-free buildings by making low-carbon glass a more routine specification choice for architects and specifiers. “Joining the HyNet network in the North West unlocks the potential to permanently remove thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions from our production annually, representing significant progress toward meeting our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-certified goals for carbon neutrality. “This initiative also aligns with our vision to makechange™ by transforming our processes and delivering low-carbon building products that will accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment.” Iain Ferguson, Operations Manager at NGF Europe, said "NGF Europe Ltd welcomes the progress being made by the HyNet partners to further develop the supply of vital low carbon hydrogen to North West industry. Although we have significantly reduced our carbon emissions through energy efficiency projects, we see the use of low-carbon hydrogen as being the vital next-step in maintaining glass-fibre manufacturing in the North-West" We’re proud to support the NSG Group in its efforts to remove carbon from industry and leverage hydrogen as a clean energy solution to power glass production right here in the North West. #CustomerRoadshow #hydrogen #H2ready #hydrogeneconomy #customers #collaboration #FromAmbitionToAction #PeopleProductPlace Cadent Gas Limited Storengy - ENGIE
