Oxy-fuel
Furnace combustion using pure oxygen instead of air — eliminates nitrogen, reduces NOx, improves thermal efficiency. Common decarbonisation pathway.
All-electric melter
A furnace melting glass entirely with electricity — the deepest decarbonisation technology, but limited by network capacity and cost.
