GMIC to Receive Funding to Help Decarbonize America’s Industrial Sector
The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council (GMIC) has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive $3 million in funding to research advanced electric melting in glass manufacturing. The research is intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help move the nation toward a net-zero economy.
The GMIC project was one of 49 selected, totalling $171 million in federal funding. Marie Kistler, GMIC President and Market Manager in Air Products’ Americas Strategic Marketing and Development organizaton, said "The submission and selection of the GMIC-led application for DOE funding is a great step forward for the industry. The efforts of GMIC members and partners have led to increased recognition of the glass industry’s important role in decarbonizing America’s industrial sector and the project results will benefit glass producers across multiple sectors.”
