The Stunning Carbon Footprint of Plate Glass

Cars That Think

The ingredients are sand (SiO 2 , about 73 percent of the charge ), sodium dioxide (Na 2 O, about 13 percent), lime (CaO, about 9 percent), and magnesium (4 percent). But alternative processes that burn hydrogen or carbon-free synthetic methane (made from captured carbon dioxide) remain about five times as expensive.
