Stara Glass has announced the successful completion of testing for the Air-Gas and Oxy-Gas H2 Burner Prototype as part of the H2GLASS project.
The tests were carried out at the Fives European Combustion Centre in Piacenza, Italy, using Fives – Energy | Combustion advanced experimental furnaces.
Stara Glass assessed the burner’s performance across various configurations, testing fuel blends from 100 percent methane to 100 percent hydrogen. Key evaluations included flame stability, NOx emissions and energy efficiency, delivering results that demonstrate significant potential for reducing emissions and optimizing energy use in glass production.
This milestone represents a critical step towards the commercialization of this innovative technology. The next phase will focus on refining the burner design based on the test results and preparing for larger-scale industrial deployment. The successful completion of testing at the Fives European Combustion Centre, a globally recognized leader in combustion technology, lends significant credibility to the project and its potential for widespread adoption within the glass manufacturing sector. Stara Glass’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is evident in this achievement, promising a more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient future for glass production.
