Glass: The Clear Solution To The Carbon Emissions Challenge

Glass can play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions on two fronts. It can make a huge contribution to saving energy in buildings, as no other material has a more powerful influence on the energy performance of a building than glass. It is also a key component of the solar panels used to generate renewable energy, which also cut fossil fuel consumption. Reducing carbon emissions is possibly our greatest global challenge, and the flat glass industry is poised with solutions, says Clemens Miller, President, Building Products Worldwide, NSG Group, Germany.
