As part of a wider £1.5m project funded by UKRI, the AI-GLASS project will help industry partners accelerate decarbonisation efforts, improve efficiency and confidently adopt new low-carbon fuels and materials.
AI-GLASS offers the tools necessary for exploring cleaner technologies like hydrogen firing and electrification safely and swiftly. This project builds on the Centre’s previous research demonstrating that sustainable biofuels can reduce carbon emissions by up to 80% compared with high carbon natural gas, further promoting sustainability through advanced testing and technology development.
