INDUCTION COOKING SECTOR

Sabaf Induction: business strategy

▪ Team of more than 50 electronic engineers

The project technological flexibility will enable Sabaf to offer to its clients customised products

Sabaf Induction: business strategy

  • The first prototypes will be released from June 2022
  • Production will start by the first half of 2023
  • Sabaf network for sales and distribution
  • Very positive customer feedback (agreements with some important players have been already signed)
  • Objective: at least 5% of the non-captive European market by 2025, further expansion in the following years

Hydrogen: project Hy4Heat

The Hy4Heat project aims to establish whether it is technically possible, safe and convenient to replace natural gas (methane) with 100% hydrogen in residential and commercial buildings and gas appliances. The Hy4Heat project is financed by BEIS, (the UK governments Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy) and involves ten separate work packages

The SABAF Group, through its subsidiary ARC, is involved in Work Package 4, which covers cooking and heating appliances. ARC has developed and produced the burners that have now been specified on the world's first UKCA Certified ranges of 100% hydrogen hobs and cookers.

These have been installed on the cooking appliances Glen Dimpex at HyHome, two purpose built houses demonstrating hydrogen appliances in a 'real life' scenario at Low Thornley, near Gateshead in the North of England

Immediately following the Hy4Heat project, cooking appliances incorporating ARC burners will be specified for the Community Trial involving 300 homes commencing in 2022. Beyond the Community Trial, the UK Government intends to commission a 'Village Trial' with around 2,500 homes in 2025 and a 'Town Trial' (10,000 homes) in the latter part of the decade prior to potentially converting the whole UK gas grid to hydrogen over future years

ARC is involved also in Work Package 5B (Commercial hydrogen gas appliance development) which , includes commercial catering equipment where ARC has developed commercial hob burners for Falcon Foodservice Equipment Ltd

ESG Performance - Environment

CO2 Emissions of gas hobs vs. electric induction hobs

  • Gas hob emission 1,050 / induction hob emission 1,590 = 1.51
  • CO2 emissions Break-Even Point Gas vs. Induction is:

315 / 1.51 = 208 g CO2eq /kWh → equivalent to ~70% of electric power generated by renewable energy sources

A necessary condition for an induction hob to generate lower CO2 emissions than a gas hob is that the electricity is produced with a % of renewable sources (or nuclear energy) greater than 70%.

Countries that have less than 70% renewable energy pollute more if they use electric induction hobs than gas.

Electricity from renewable sources is produced by a photovoltaic plant operating at the C.M.I. plant (151 MWh in 2021) or comes from the purchase of I-REC certificates (4,702 MWh in 2021).

In the last three years the increase of energy consumption was due to the increase of business volumes

Sabaf S.p.A., Sabaf Brazil and Sabaf Turkey use natural gas as an energy source for the casting of aluminum and for the firing of enameled lids. The production of other Group companies does not use methane as an energy source.
