The Stunning Carbon Footprint of Plate Glass

Cars That Think

The combustion of natural gas or a liquid fuel heats the mixture to about 1,050 °C, and the molten glass is then poured from a ceramic spout onto a 6-centimeter-thick layer of molten tin, at a temperature of 230 °C. Only Poland, the Czech Republic, and Luxembourg are “glassier” than China on a per capita basis.
