Bormioli Luigi has installed a new hybrid furnace to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions. This installation is part of The Vitrum project, supported by the European Commission within its Innovation Fund.
The furnace has been installed in Bormioli Luigi’s Abbiategrasso site.
This hybrid furnace is powered by methane and electricity and is designed to be energy efficient and associated with PCR glass.
The hybridization process generates 80% of savings. The new process saves approximately 30% in gas consumption and 14% in CO2 emissions compared to a traditional gas furnace.
Bormioli Luigi anticipates reducing the equivalent of 25,500 tons of CO2 in the furnace’s first 10 years in service.
The hybrid furnace also features digitalized control systems and process optimization from artificial intelligence.
