Kellogg’s Unveils UK’s First Hydrogen-Powered Cereal Production

SustainableTimes.co.uk | Hammaad Saghir | Feb 25, 2025

Kellogg’s has completed a hydrogen-powered manufacturing trial, becoming the first food producer in the UK to make cereal using this low-carbon energy source. The three-week demonstration, funded through the UK government’s £55 million Industrial Fuel Switching Competition, was conducted at one of Kellogg’s UK factories under the HyNet Industrial Fuel Switching programme.

The trial involved replacing conventional fuel gas with hydrogen to power the factory’s toasting oven, successfully producing cereals for Corn Flakes, Bran Flakes, Special K, and Rice Krispies.

This milestone follows Kellanova UK (Kellogg’s parent company) receiving £3 million in government funding in 2023 from the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, further cementing its role in industrial decarbonization.

The initiative underscores hydrogen's potential as a viable solution for reducing emissions in energy-intensive industries. Beyond cutting greenhouse gas output, the project also provided hands-on learning and upskilling opportunities for factory employees.

As part of its "Better Days" sustainability commitment, Kellanova has already achieved a 54% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions across Europe...more

1. Wow! Those Kellogg cereals are the bomb.

[Wonder Why]

2. They're going to produce Hydrogen-Powered Cereal? Well, that's better than their last attempt

when they made Methane-Powered Bean Cereal called "Mr. Bean".
