Glass production process whereby at least part of a reducing gas composition (100) introduced into a float chamber (4) receiving molten glass (3) from a melting chamber heated by combustion of fuel (27) with oxidant (28), is preheated by heat exchange with fumes (25) evacuated from a melting furnace (2) before said part of the reducing gas composition (100) is introduced in the float chamber (4) and installation for use in said glass production process.

A glass forming system (200) and a method are described herein for forming a glass sheet (230). In one example, the glass forming system and method can use a glass composition with a liquidus viscosity less than 1000 poises to continuously form a glass sheet.
