Power consumption of solar glass manufacturing

4 FAQs about [Power consumption of solar glass manufacturing]

How much energy does glassmaking use?

Among these industries, glassmaking presents specific energy consumption (SEC) of 4–17 GJ/t glass (Zier et al., 2021) with a global production of close to 130 million tons in 2020 (Furszyfer Del Rio et al., 2022), which represents one of the highest production volumes per capita worldwide.

Which energy source is used in glass industry?

When fuel oil, coal, or natural gas are used as the main energy source in the occur, respectively (Hu et al. 2018). The Chinese glass industry meets its energy needs (27.1%). On the other hand, the USA and Europe use natural gas as an energy source in the glass industries with a share of 80% and 90%, respectively (Zier et al. 2021).

How much electricity does a glass plant consume?

On the contrary, the electricity consumption (KPI 10) increases about ten times with respect to the conventional glass plant (216 kWh e /t glass). The electricity consumption increases up to 3026.38 kWh e /t glass, which implies an energy penalty (KPI 11) of 35.83 MJ e /kg CO2.

How much energy does a container glass furnace use?

Melting process for container glass represents 75–85 % of total energy consumption and around 75 % of CO 2 emissions (Papadogeorgos and Schure, 2019). The average energy consumption of container glass furnaces was estimated in 5150 MJ/tglass (normalized to 50 % cullet and to the primary energy equivalent to oxygen production for oxy-fuel furnaces).
