On Monday 3rd\u00a0June 2024 we mark the UK launch of a unique coalition of global property companies, world-renowned chefs, public health and climate experts calling for an accelerated move away from cooking with fossil fuels to transition to healthier, affordable and safer electric kitchens \u2013 powered by renewable energy.<\/p>\n

The UK launch of the\u00a0Global Cooksafe Coalition<\/a>\u00a0(GCC)<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0London\u2019s Silo restaurant<\/a>\u00a0brings together industry leaders and sector experts around a shared vision for the future of cooking. Lendlease Europe and Grosvenor Property UK joined the coalition as property partners and committed to phase out gas from all new kitchens in their developments by 2030, and to retrofit existing properties with electric power by 2040. They join a growing movement of forward-thinking leaders around the world, including GCC\u2019s international partners already transitioning to electric-only kitchens across combined property portfolios exceeding \u00a3120 billion.<\/p>\n

Kitchens are important because they are often a catalyst or \u2018gateway decision\u2019 encouraging the installation of gas-fired heating systems in new buildings \u2013 and buildings are a major source of carbon emissions. \u201cGlobally, the built environment is responsible for almost 40% of greenhouse gases related to energy consumption,\u201d says Cristina Gamboa, CEO, World Green Building Council. \u201cThe International Energy Agency (IEA) has clearly spelt out that energy efficiency and electrification of buildings is essential to deliver net zero by 2050 \u2013 that won\u2019t happen without electrifying kitchens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The electrification of kitchens is backed by some of Britain\u2019s finest chefs who\u2019ve joined the GCC as Chef Ambassadors, including Chantelle Nicholson and John Chantarasak, who together delivered a superb master-class of cooking with electric-powered induction hobs during the launch event at Silo \u2013 demonstrating how technological advances in modern induction hobs deliver exquisite taste and unparalleled control and quality for both professional chefs and cooks at home.<\/p>\n

The growing momentum for GCC\u2019s cooking revolution is driven by a number of factors, crucially to raise awareness of the dangerous health impacts caused by toxic gases, such as nitrogen dioxide and benzene, that are released into kitchens and homes when we cook with gas stoves. The health risks are particularly alarming for children \u2013 researchers found that in the UK an estimated 11.5% of childhood asthma\u00a0cases could be avoided when the risk factor of cooking with gas is removed.<\/p>\n

But central to GCC\u2019s remit is the imperative for every household to have access to affordable energy \u2013 it is the cornerstone of the electric cooking revolution.<\/p>\n

Recent world crises of energy insecurity and rocketing gas prices are a salient reminder that fossil fuels are \u2018commodities\u2019 subject to volatile markets and world events, whereas renewable energy is an infinite \u2018resource\u2019 on our doorstep \u2013 and also now the cheapest form of electricity in the world.<\/p>\n

The UK has been a world leader in developing renewable capacity, with renewables providing 42% of total electricity in 2022, from a starting point of just 3% in 2000. The IEA forecasts the global energy mix will be transformed by 2028. Opportunities to transition to affordable, renewable energy at scale in the short term, combined with proven savings from energy-efficient electrical appliances, offer a solution to the unaffordable energy bills that millions of people are struggling with today.<\/p>\n

With clear, publicly available and ambitious targets, GCC\u2019s mission is to drive the phase-out of dangerous fuels from our home kitchens, restaurants and commercial buildings. With an unprecedented alliance of cross-industry partners and sector experts, they aim to lead the way to a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future for us all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
