Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a plant capable of reducing environmental impact and a method for producing glass and hydrogen. [Solution] The plant to produce glass and hydrogen 1 has a glass melting furnace 2 that melts a glass raw material by the heat of combustion of a fuel and generates molten glass 12, an exhaust passage 3 extending from the glass melting furnace and through which exhaust generated in the glass melting furnace passes, a boiler 5 provided in the exhaust passage that conducts heat exchange of the exhaust and water, and an electrolyzer 4 that electrolyzes water vapor and generates hydrogen and oxygen. The glass melting furnace has a burner 14 that burns fuel together with a combustion-supporting gas having an oxygen concentration of 21 vol% or more. The burner is connected to the electrolyzer by an oxygen supply pipe 18. The oxygen generated by the electrolyzer is supplied to the burner via the oxygen supply pipe.
