Pilkington United Kingdom Limited, a division of NSG Group, is planning to inaugurate a new hydrogen plant at its Greengate Works facility in St. Helens, U.K. This development is intended to escalate the manufacturing of low-carbon glass. By providing the furnace with a considerable amount of clean hydrogen on a daily basis, the company anticipates a significant reduction of 15,000 tons of carbon emissions yearly. This shift will enable Pilkington U.K. to advance its production of eco-friendly architectural glass for buildings. Neil Syder, the managing director, highlighted the importance of securing a reliable supply of green hydrogen at their Greengate site to streamline the manufacturing of low-carbon glass permanently, thus supporting the goal of constructing carbon-free buildings. The site is also preparing to upgrade its glass furnace to accommodate increased production relocated from the neighboring Watson Street site. Construction at Greengate is scheduled to commence in 2025 with operations starting in 2027, reflecting the company's commitment to sustainable practices and environmental responsibility in the manufacturing sector.
