Kellogg’s and HyNet Power Breakfast with Hydrogen-Fueled Manufacturing
As Hydrogen Week UK kicks off, a groundbreaking partnership between Kellanova (formerly Kellogg’s) and HyNet is taking breakfast production to the next level with hydrogen-fueled manufacturing. In a significant move toward decarbonization, the two companies have collaborated to produce iconic cereals like Corn Flakes, Bran Flakes, Special K, and Rice Krispies using a hydrogen-powered toasting oven.
This marks the first time in the UK that a food manufacturer has switched from natural gas to hydrogen for cereal production. The three-week demonstration, funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, highlights the potential of hydrogen to support industrial decarbonization and transition to greener energy sources.
The initiative aligns with Kellanova’s Better Days promise, a commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering a more sustainable future. By adopting hydrogen in its manufacturing process, Kellanova is taking significant strides toward achieving its sustainability goals and showcasing how hydrogen can play a vital role in transforming industries for the better.
This partnership with HyNet sets a powerful example for the food manufacturing sector and beyond, illustrating how hydrogen can be harnessed to power the future of energy-intensive industries. With such initiatives, Hydrogen Week UK is bringing the hydrogen revolution into the mainstream, demonstrating its crucial role in the UK’s journey toward net zero.
