NSG Group expert will join other influential contributors at this year’s Glasstec conference that will be focused on the circular economy, digital technologies and decarbonisation. Specifically targeted leading-edge lectures will offer attendees a blend of theory and practice on this pressing global issue.
The conference will address 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.
Our expert Paul Skinner, Global R&D Portfolio Manager, will talk on Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS); status of this technology development in NSG Group on Tuesday, 22 October, at 14:50 in Hall 10 Stand A70 - Stage 1 glass trends live.
Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage is viewed by NSG Group as a technology required to achieve carbon neutrality from our glass melting process. It is included in our 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 our 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 Ltd. 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.
