Glass Furnace Decarbonization Technology Stack (Final Technical Report)
Abstract
This report summarizes the objectives, approach, and outcomes of the Glass Furnace Decarbonization Technology Stack project undertaken by Owens-Brockway Glass Container Incorporated under award number DE-CD0000093. The project aimed to implement a pioneering combination of furnace technologies at the Zanesville, OH manufacturing site to reduce carbon intensity (CI) by 20–40% compared to baseline operations. The proposed Furnace Technology Stack included a Gas/Oxy-fuel system, OPTIMELT™ Heat Recovery System, raw material pre-heating, electric boosting, and forehearth electrification—designed to demonstrate commercial feasibility and drive industry-wide decarbonization.
