ACerS Bulletin
The membership magazine of The American Ceramic Society
Deep decarbonization of glassmaking
In this issue we look at methods for decarbonizing industrial processes. The cover story describes how the decarbonization of glassmaking will require a mix of strategies across the entire value chain. Plus, the “Deciphering the Discipline” column highlights a new phosphate-based glass for sustainable glass manufacturing while the “Business and Market View” column overviews two emerging decarbonization strategies: carbon capture, utilization, and storage and hydrogen fuel.
Two more feature stories appear in the May issue. The first story overviews the history of GE Lighting at Nela Park and describes how its historical record will be preserved for future researchers and innovators thanks to dedicated work by a group of GE Lighting retirees. The second story reports the effects that radiation and other spaceflight conditions have on 3D-printed ceramics.
