The burning of fossil fuels for energy continues to negatively impact our health and environment. It generates up to 85% of all airborne respirable particulate pollution, driving climate change at an unprecedented rate¹. To protect our health and environment, the European Union has put forward climate and energy targets, bundled in the European Green Deal. It aims to integrate the existing European energy systems into a more efficient and integrated one, linking energy sources and infrastructure to support decarbonisation. To accelerate our progress towards climate neutrality and fulfil the targets of the European Union, we need more efficient climate control solutions both in our homes, and in commercial settings.
At Samsung, we're doing our part.
For example, with our heat pumps, to generate 4.5 kW of energy, they consume only about 1 kW of electricity and generate the rest of the energy from the outside air².
Rethinking refrigerants
Samsung is accelerating the transition to refrigerants with a lower GWP and investing in environmentally friendlier alternatives. The GWP number of a gas refers to how much heat energy it traps in the atmosphere over time, so a lower number is better. For example this year, we’ll introduce our first heat pump with a natural refrigerant, the EHS Mono R290 — with a GWP of 3.
