Technologies for industry and agriculture
The glass production sector is included in the group of the energy-intensive industries. Globally, it accounts for about 3% of final consumption in industry and 4% of greenhouse gas emissions. The consumption of glass products is constantly increasing with an estimated growth rate of more than 3% until 2030 and 2% until 2050. The sector produces products for consumer goods such as electronic devices, containers for food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, materials and products that are used for industrial sectors such as transport and construction. The use of glass products in the energy sector is growing in the photovoltaic and wind industries, and in the construction of transparent walls for buildings with high energy efficiency
