Furnace & melting
All-electric melter
A furnace melting glass entirely with electricity — the deepest decarbonisation technology, but limited by network capacity and cost.

Electric boost
Electrical heating elements added to a fuel-fired furnace to supplement melting capacity. A common decarbonisation step.
Hybrid melter
A furnace combining fuel-fired combustion (typically oxy-fuel or natural gas) with substantial electric boost — the practical mid-range decarbonisation pathway.
