Toyota has introduced a hydrogen-powered pizza oven at the Dreux circuit in France, after its initial debut in Tokyo. The oven, developed in collaboration with Japanese firm Rinnai, emits less CO2 and uses hydrogen combustion to enhance food flavors by preserving sauces and preventing ingredients from drying out. This innovative cooking method was well-received and tested successfully with pizzas, vegetables, and croissants. Alongside the pizza oven, Toyota also showcased a hydrogen-powered barbecue capable of cooking a variety of foods. These culinary appliances are part of Toyota's venture into domestic hydrogen applications, expanding beyond traditional mobility solutions. The company's collaboration with Rinnai extends to developing hydrogen cooking methods for Woven City, a futuristic project in Japan. This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also highlights the potential for hydrogen to revolutionize the food industry. The demonstration of hydrogen-powered cooking at Dreux signifies Toyota's commitment to environmental innovation and hints at a future where hydrogen plays a significant role in everyday life.
