1. Consolidate four existing regenerative air-fired furnaces into two larger OXY-hybrid furnaces with similar capacity to the original four to demonstrate and commence operations of the first domestic deployment of OXY-hybrid glass furnace technology, which allows the flexible use of electricity to replace combustion as the energy source for melting glass by 20% up to 80%. 2. Adopt industry leading oxygen fired furnace technology, which increases the oxygen content from 21% up to 90% by replacing ambient air feed with an oxygen source during natural gas combustion cycles. 3. Disseminate findings from this project to the U.S. Glass industry through industry conferences and other forums. 4. Reduce CO2 emissions associated with gas combustion in the glass melting process up to at least 45% (with electric melting at 20%) and up to 90% (with electric melting at 80%) compared to libbey's 2022 baseline. 5. Reduce carbon intensity of the toledo, ohio facility by at least 25% and up to 50% against libbey's 2022 baseline.
