There is a clear trend for bakeries worldwide to seek a sustainable and efficient energy source. Electric ovens are an emerging favorite on this path, but companies are seeking the flexibility to invest in gas ovens now, with the option to convert to electric in the future.
The conversation around increasing manufacturing sustainability will unavoidably start with analyzing ovens, for any baking operation. Visible results are a necessity.
Energy consumption is undisputed at the top of the industry’s concerns and efforts for improvement. Royal Kaak recently launched a new service that closely investigates the energy-saving potential of an industrial oven, which can help lower energy consumption by up to 15%: the OvenScan, launched last year and introduced in the Benelux countries in 2023.
Bread consumption is once again on the rise, with the market expected to grow annually by 6.80% and reach a

Reading Bakery Systems (RBS) installed its new electric-powered convection oven at the RBS Science & Innovation Center and is now ready for production trials.
Ashworth will launch a new smart solution at IBIE this year, the Smart Oven monitoring system, joining the Smart Spiral in this range.
Under the current circumstances, it has never been more important to look into ways to increase efficiency in bakeries, starting with their centerpiece: the tunnel oven.
“What is your position on the use of hydrogen technology to fuel ovens in bakeries?” This is the question we put to oven manufacturers in Europe and the USA.
While a 30% hydrogen/natural gas mixture could be considered a bridge technology to a more sustainable green fuel in the future, burning pure hydrogen gas in ovens has the challenges of a more complicated combustion process and high-pressure on-site storage systems.
Smart devices are quickly becoming an indispensable part of life inside the baking shop as they are on the outside. For in-store ovens, smart tools are being developed to make them more efficient and easier to operate for consistent results.
