- Public consultation event scheduled to engage the community, showcasing the benefits of green hydrogen and encouraging participation in energy innovation.
Pilkington's tradition of innovation in glass manufacturing is set to continue with Grenian Hydrogen's project to supply green hydrogen for low-carbon glass production in St Helens. This initiative aims to serve as a model for decarbonisation globally. The partnership between Grenian and Pilks, a prominent glass manufacturer in St Helens, will reduce fossil gas usage and help achieve carbon neutrality targets. Grenian, comprising Progressive Energy, Statkraft, and Foresight, plans to produce green hydrogen using renewable electricity. The project not only supports environmental sustainability but also positions St Helens at the forefront of energy innovation. With St Helens already hosting the Glass Futures research facility, the introduction of the green hydrogen project represents a significant step towards sustainable energy solutions. The public consultation event on June 18, 2024, will provide insight into green hydrogen production and its application at the Greengate Works site. This event aims to engage the community, gather feedback, and involve stakeholders in shaping the future of energy innovation in the region. By embracing green hydrogen, Pilkington UK aims to revolutionize its glass production processes, contributing to a low-carbon future and setting a global example for other flat glass manufacturers.
