Spooner - Decarbonising Your Bakery

Industrial baking is under increasing pressure to reduce emissions while maintaining consistent throughput and product quality.

As highlighted in Spooner's 'Decarbonising Your Bakery' report, the transition to lower-carbon production will not happen overnight; it will be delivered through incremental improvements, smarter energy use, and flexible technologies.

Dual-fuel powered hybrid ovens provide a practical route forward. By enabling operation across multiple energy sources, they allow bakeries to improve efficiency today while preparing for future energy transitions. Spooner systems are designed to maintain performance whilst introducing long-term flexibility.

Case:

Dual-Fuel Hybrid Oven for a Global Pet Food Manufacturer

Spooner delivered two bespoke hybrid ovens for a leading pet food manufacturer, designed to seamlessly balance electric and gas-fired heating while maintaining precise control over temperature, airflow, and bake consistency.

The solution was engineered to integrate with the existing production environment, ensuring minimal disruption while enhancing overall process efficiency and control.

The system is projected to reduce natural gas consumption by 200kW per hour on a single line, with further reductions expected as on-site renewable capacity increases and the facility transitions its energy mix.
