LG Electronics leads European heat pump research initiative

LG Electronics has announced a strategic collaboration with universities in Norway and Italy to establish the European Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research (ECAHR). This initiative is part of LG's global research and development strategy, focusing on developing specialized technologies for cold climate zones in Northern Europe. The company's goal is to enhance the performance of its HVAC products in low-temperature conditions, following the successful establishment of the LG Advanced Cold Climate Heat Pump Laboratory in Alaska.

The European Consortium for Advanced Heat Pump Research aims to drive innovation in the field of cold-climate HVAC systems. LG will also continue its research efforts in Harbin, China, in August, further solidifying its commitment to developing heat pumps that can operate efficiently in extreme cold conditions.

LG's emphasis on cold climate heat pumps is in response to the growing demand for high-efficiency electric appliances in Europe. The company is aligning its efforts with the EU's REPowerEU plan to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lead global electrification initiatives.

As part of its Future Vision 2030, LG is strengthening its local operations for the HVAC business to drive growth in its B2B operations. The company aims to achieve significant sales growth by 2030 and become a key player in the heating and cooling industry.

James Lee, head of the Air Solution Business Unit at LG Electronics, highlighted the company's dedication to developing next-generation heat pump technology tailored to diverse climate conditions worldwide. LG's air conditioning solutions offer cutting-edge systems for various sectors and climates, supporting businesses with digitalized and eco-conscious HVAC solutions.

LG Electronics' partnership with European universities and its focus on advancing heat pump research underscore its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the HVAC industry. By developing technologies that can operate efficiently in extreme cold conditions, LG is poised to lead the way in providing high-performance HVAC solutions for businesses and consumers alike.
