Kellanova, formerly known as Kellogg Company, a global snacks-led mannufacturer, has announced that it is on track to reach its goal of creating a climate-positive future, including achieving 100% renewable electricity in global Kellanova-owned manufacturing facilities by the end of 2030. This step forward is part of Kellanova’s Better Days Promise, according to the company.
In 2021, the company signed a long-term wind energy VPPA in North America for approximately 360 gigawatt hours of wind electricity annually. The wind farm, located in north central Texas, adds clean energy resources to the community’s local grid that is equal to 90% of the volume of electricity used across Kellanova’s North American manufacturing facilities.
Globally, by the end of 2030 Kellanova aims to achieve 100% renewable electricity across owned manufacturing plants through a variety of programs, on-site, VPPAs and renewable energy certificates (RECs)—and has made significant progress to that end:
In Europe, Kellanova’s manufacturing facilities have recently achieved 100% renewable electricity to address its operations through the purchase of RECs. Kellanova’s European manufacturing facilities have been purchasing RECs since 2016. In addition, the company is in the early stages of a research program partnership with the UK government to establish the potential use of green hydrogen as an alternative to natural gas for Kellanova manufacturing facilities in the country.
In its Asia, Middle East and Africa region, Kellanova has grown the share of renewable electricity from 1% in 2018 to 33% in 2023 through a variety of solutions, such as the use of solar panels in our owned facilities in India, South Africa, Thailand and Malaysia. In Latin America, Kellanova’s facility in Colombia sources 100% renewable electricity through hydroelectric energy.
