Southern California air regulators approved a first-in-the-nation rule to electrify big factory ovens for baked goods
Nearly 100 facilities across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties will be subject to the new rule from the South Coast Air Quality Management District , an agency responsible for improving the air quality for 17 million people in Southern California.Four types of industrial ovens will be subject to a zero-emission standard starting in 2027, meaning companies will need to buy electric ovens when it comes time to replace old gas-burning units after that date.
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from steelmaking, cement manufacturing and other parts of industrial sector is notoriously difficult. But among industrial categories, food and beverage is “one of the ones with the most promise for advancing electrification and zero emissions,” Martinez said.Consider the tortilla chip. Mark Schieldge, chief operating officer of Snak-King, a snack food maker based in the City of Industry, Calif., says it is challenging to bake them without gas.
Taking into account that feedback, the new rule gives more latitude to types of commercial cooking for which electric ovens are not commercially available yet, such as tortilla makers and nut roasters. Zvaners called the final rule “a reasonable approach.”
