Kellogg’s Eggo Waffles Plant Goes Green with Fuel Cell Technology
Kellogg Co., Battle Creek, Mich., found a new way to make waffles. That’s because the Eggo bakery in San Jose, Calif., is now home to fuel cell technology, which generates enough clean, reliable energy to produce approximately half of the facility's annual electrical consumption. The system also uses less water to generate power than if it had been supplied by the utility grid.
"We're focused on introducing new processes and technology that minimize the environmental impact of our operations," says Diane Holdorf, chief sustainability officer. "This new solution is a win-win. We're maximizing our production while creating energy-efficient solutions for making waffles."
