Decarbonising the glass industry by using waste flue gases: the case of self-produced electricity in a hollow glass manufacturing plant in Italy.

Wednesday 20th May 16:00 - 16:20

Conference

Achieving net zero emissions by 2050 requires major efficiency improvements across energy intensive industries, and waste heat recovery (WHR) is becoming a crucial decarbonization pathway. Europe currently leads WHR adoption thanks to strict efficiency policies and carbon pricing measures, while North and Latin America also present strong potential through EPA programs and national regulations. One of the most effective ways to utilize waste heat is on site electricity generation using and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbine. An Italian hollow glass plant demonstrates this by installing a 1 MW ORC turbine powered by our gas-to-oil heat exchanger and high temperature ceramic candle filter, improving overall furnace efficiency, reducing emissions, and delivering substantial annual energy cost savings.
