Case Study · Technology Scouting
Capturing carbon from glass furnaces.
A glass-based building materials maker wanted to capture CO2 from its melting furnaces. We assessed technologies, interviewed vendors and experts and modeled costs to show which solutions fit its process.
The Client
The client operates in the building materials industry and specializes in glass-based products. It wanted to know what process changes and costs a capture system would require.
The Challenge
Unique flue gas.
Find a capture fit.
Prescouter was asked to find carbon capture solutions that could handle the client’s flue gas composition, integrate with its process and come with a clear view of costs.

From capture to storage and use.
Our Approach
Pairing vendor insight with techno-economic analysis.
Expert input
2experts engaged throughout
Choose the pathway
Experts advised on the best capture pathway, costs and process questions as they arose.
Cost modeling
2decarbonization options costed
Model the economics
We linked CAPEX to plant scale and included storage, use and transport in each scenario.
The Outcome
Two vendors built for glass.
Prescouter analyzed 17 technologies and set out two scenarios, depending on whether the client engages providers at higher or lower technology readiness levels. Of the 4 vendors interviewed, Prescouter recommended 2 that are developing solutions tailored to the glass industry.
