Hrasntnik1860 has joined a research programme to decarbonise glass production, as well as other industries.
The Hydrogen/Battery based Resilient chemical Energy storage Development (HyBReED) programme is made up of nine other Slovenian companies and five national research institutions.
The main objective of the project is to develop and implement sustainable solutions in the field of energy supply.
This will include developing chemical energy storage using hydrogen and batteries.
Hrasntnik1860 will study the technology needed for the next generation of glass furnaces to help decarbonise production.
The programme will include project management, research and development, stakeholder engagement, monitoring and evaluation.
The project started earlier this year, and will continue until June 2026.
The total cost of the programme is €4,769,890.38.
