| R&D | Sabaf has developed its own project know-how internally by filing proprietary patents, software ■ Creation of innovative products which better meet manufacturers' needs and new consumer trends · The Group benefits from the expertise gained from the acquisitions of Okida and P.G.A. where part of the induction cooking components will be produced Team of more than 60 electronic engineers |
The project technological flexibility will enable Sabaf to offer to its clients customised products


Sabaf Induction: business strategy

2023 Outlook
Despite a weak market environment, a more favourable trend of sales and orders is expected in the 2Q 2023
The second half of the year will also be characterized by the contributions deriving from the start of the first sales of induction cooking components and from the production of the new plants in India and in Mexico
The Group expects, along with the stabilization of sales volumes, a recovery in profitability as a result of the lower energy and raw material prices and efficiency measures on operating costs
International footprint: an increasingly important factor for relationships with large customers
The transformation of cooking from gas to electric, in the European market, is taking place faster than expected Increasingly clear signs of the beginning of a similar trend also in the USA
This confirms the strategic relevance of the diversification set out in the Group's Business Plan and of its implementation speed

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 CO20 / 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.

Hydrogen: project Hy4Heat

Hydroge
Sabaf strategic partner in the Hy4Heat Project with zero Co2 emissions in cooking appliances
SABAF ISSOUP
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
