Toyo Glass's research study "Research and Development of the Utilization of an Oxygen and Hydrogen Combustion Flame as the Heat Source for Melting Soda-Lime Glass" adopted by NEDO

Toyo Glass Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Toyo Glass"), a consolidated subsidiary of Toyo Seikan Group Holdings Ltd., has submitted an application for the "Technology Development Project for the Construction of a Competitive Hydrogen Supply Chain/ Comprehensive Survey and Research/ Survey and Research on the Application of Oxygen and Hydrogen Combustion Technology to Heat Demand". This project was publicly announced by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization ("NEDO"), and our research study, the "Research and Development of the Utilization of an Oxygen and Hydrogen Combustion Flame as the Heat Source for Melting Soda-Lime Glass" was selected.

The use of oxygen-hydrogen combustion offers the potential for clean and energy-efficient glass melting, as it generates only water vapor in the exhaust gas and operates at a higher flame temperature compared to conventional air combustion. Through this research study initiative, Toyo Glass aims to achieve a decarbonizing technology for "high-temperature heat demand", which has posed challenges for achieving carbon neutrality due to the energy conversion hurdle.
