Glass is a reusable and recyclable material for windows and a reusable and recyclable alternative to plastic for containers. Sustainable glass is manufactured by melting sand in exceptionally large (the size of a low-rise block of flats), high temperature furnaces. However, the manufacturing process is very inefficient and up to 50% of the energy supplied for melting is lost as waste in the process.India produces ~10MT glass/year and is growing at between 6-10% CAGR. The Indian government has made ambitious targets around climate change, including reducing the emissions intensity of GDP by 33%--35% by 2030 below 2005 levels.This project with a duration of 5 months aims to develop close ties and relationships with counterparts in India in the area of glass manufacturing and research, and produce collaborative proposals between research centres in the UK and in India.

玻璃是一种可重复使用和可回收的窗户材料，也是一种可重复使用和可回收的容器塑料替代品。可持续玻璃是通过在非常大的（低层公寓楼的大小）高温熔炉中熔化沙子来制造的。然而，生产过程效率非常低，高达50%的熔化能源在生产过程中作为废物损失。印度每年生产约10吨玻璃，复合年增长率在6-10%之间。印度政府制定了雄心勃勃的气候变化目标，包括到2030年将国内生产总值的排放强度比2005年的水平降低33%-35%。该项目为期5个月，旨在与印度玻璃制造和研究领域的同行建立密切的联系和关系，并提出英国和印度研究中心之间的合作建议。
