An NSG Group expert will join other influential contributors at this year’s Glasstec conference focusing on the circular economy – energy, resources and recycling in the glass industry, digital technologies – digitalisation, “machine language” and AI, and decarbonisation – new key technologies and sustainable raw materials. Specialists will address these and other issues on the open stage in Hall 10.

Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage is viewed by NSG Group as a technology required to achieve carbon neutrality from glass melting process. It is included in the Group’s 2050 roadmap, as it is on many other glass manufacturers roadmaps.
NSG Group have had an active R&D project in CCUS for a number of years culminating this year in a small-scale trial at the Pilkington UK float operation. Paul will talk about this trial, funded through the UK Government’s CCUS innovation 2.0 programme, and the collaboration with C-Capture‘s next generation carbon capture technology and Glass Futures. He will also discuss some of the other aspects of our R&D in this area, what the next steps are, and the barriers to achieving them.
The presentation will provide an insight into the company’s and the glass industry’s activities that are needed to align with the global ambition for decarbonisation.
