Hydrogen on the horizon For Falcon, sustainability means more than refi ning existing technologies. It also means taking bold steps into the future. In the UK, around 80% of all heat comes from gas, and the existing electricity grid currently does not have capacity to absorb high-scale transitioning from gas to electric. Now, foodservice businesses have the option to transition to a zero-carbon gas – hydrogen – with minimal disruption to their business. Falcon has created a new
hydrogen-powered product portfolio, including a new variant of the award-winning Dominator Six Burner G3101 Range, plus chargrills, griddles, grills and fryers - all designed for both on- and off -grid use. Gas network operators are
now working together with the UK Government and regulatory OFGEM to decarbonize the gas grid, and hydrogen pilot networks are being set up in parallel with increased production of low- carbon hydrogen. “Having hydrogen appliances
available at this early phase is essential for these pilot projects to go ahead,” says MacLachlan. “From a catering equipment perspective, there are many benefi ts for cooking on hydrogen. T is is a humid cooking method. Electric cooking is dry cooking.” “Some benefi ts were clearly
identifi ed when cooking on a 6-burner hydrogen range, as opposed to natural gas, with the fl ame profi le encouraging better and more effi cient heat distribution under the pots and pans, thus reducing heating

up and boiling times,” he adds. “Naturally, with hydrogen comes the additional advantage of chamber humidity when cooking inside static ovens. T is is especially benefi cial for braising or roasting methods as it adds moisture into the chamber. Early introduction of
hydrogen-ready appliances will ensure gas appliance manufacture and supply will not be exposed to disruptive market forces such as anxieties amongst end-users that gas will not be available in the future. While it is still early in the
hydrogen journey for dealers or operators, Falcon is confi dent it will be a big part of the future of foodservice. Making existing technology
