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.

Read on to find out how we plan to improve our impact on the environment and society to create a more sustainable future with our teams, partners and customers. By applying a science-based approach, we can set the best pathway possible to makechange™. We aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

As an energy intensive sector and a major part of wider supply chains, early milestones like this are encouraging for the whole economy’s decarbonisation. While science and industry unpick the challenges of powering glass furnaces with hydrogen, the industry will contribute to decarbonisation like it always has.

EPDs provide data about the global warming potential (GWP) of products by assessing the carbon emitted at each stage of a product’s lifecycle. Manufacturing and transport, emissions generated while the product is in use, and the disposal of the glass at the end of its lifespan are all evaluated when procuring the EPD.

Using a product from our energy-efficient glass range in your windows will reduce your home’s CO 2 output, making your carbon footprint smaller and your home more environmentally friendly. We offer a range of low-e energy-efficient glazing to suit every type of property, from a modern home to an older traditional styled home.

Under the agreement, Pilkington UK will supply Morgan Sindall with its broad range of architectural glass used for energy efficiency, solar control and fire safety in residential and commercial buildings.

Beginning with glass production, XLR8 CCS will prove the ability of C-Capture’s innovative carbon capture technology to remove carbon dioxide from the flue gas emissions of three industries which are difficult-to-decarbonise but committed to reducing their carbon levels.

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide a means for manufacturers to provide transparent data about the environmental sustainability of their products and for specifiers to make informed purchasing decisions.

Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, part of the NSG Group, has pioneered a new glass range with 50% less embodied carbon when compared to standard float glass* ‒ representing the lowest carbon product of its kind on the market.

Sustainability is no longer just a consideration – it’s a crucial priority for architects and specifiers. Learn how to specify glass that strikes the perfect balance between sustainability, performance, and aesthetics by watching our latest webinar.
