    This document summarizes the biogeochemical cycle of glass and carbon dioxide. It explains that while single glazed windows require less energy to produce than double or triple glazed windows, the latter are more environmentally friendly due to their lower carbon content. The production of carbon dioxide, which is a byproduct of glass manufacturing, is a major contributor to global warming. A diagram of the biogeochemical carbon cycle is also included for reference.

    CHM-3/2009102767 Biogeochemical Cycle of Glass and Carbon Dioxide

    This shows a basic biogeochemical cycle of glass manufacturing. The production of a single glazing window will always require less energy than that of an energy-efficient double or triple glazed windows, whereas the latter are unquestionably more environmental-friendly due to carbon content of the glass. It is a main reason of cause of global warming, the production of carbon dioxide, which is basically part of the manufacturing of glass. In addition to this, he biogeochemical cycle of carbon is attached below for reference.
