Stara Glass has announced the successful completion of testing for the Air-Gas and Oxy-Gas H2 Burner Prototype as part of the H2GLASS project.
The tests were carried out at the Fives European Combustion Centre in Piacenza, Italy, using Fives – Energy | Combustion advanced experimental furnaces.
Stara Glass assessed the burner’s performance across various configurations, testing fuel blends from 100 percent methane to 100 percent hydrogen. Key evaluations included flame stability, NOx emissions and energy efficiency, delivering results that demonstrate significant potential for reducing emissions and optimizing energy use in glass production.
This milestone brings closer the implementation of these innovative solutions in industrial furnaces, paving the way for a more sustainable glass industry.
