Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, intends to use green hydrogen at its site and scale its production of low carbon glass from 2027, under pioneering new plans with Grenian Hydrogen.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, is manufacturing two more of its solar control products in the UK to shorten lead times for customers, as demand for specialist glazing grows. The company has started producing Pilkington Suncool ™ 60/31 from its St Helens manufacturing base to serve UK demand for solar control glazing.

Solar Glass and Solar Technologies. Solar energy panels offer alternative solutions to a range of energy requirements, from small scale domestic applications to large scale solar power stations, from cloudy northern rooftops to hot sunny deserts.

Pilkington Sunplus™ BIPV. BIPV provides renewable power generating architectural glass solutions for building facades, windows, roof glazing, etc. with a high degree of transparency or full spandrel PV elements, combining efficiency and design.

Part L of the regulations is concerned with the energy performance of building elements such as windows and doors, and the changes will further tighten the rules governing the carbon emissions of dwellings, both new and existing.

How It Works. Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. These are defined as follows: Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere. Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass. Absorptance ...

Low-iron NSG TEC™ Sodium Block is used as substrate for solar mirrors in concentrated solar power applications. The sodium barrier layer offers improved product shelf-life and durability and can offer solar mirror manufacturers improved stability.

The NSG Group will reduce its carbon emissions by 30% compared with 2018 levels, by 2030. It forms part of a wider plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, from emissions directly associated with its manufacturing to carbon produced in its supply chain.
