Copeland has made a strategic investment in BlueHeart Energy, a Netherlands-based startup developing a promising innovative heat pump technology.
To meet the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, heat pumps alone have the potential to cut global carbon dioxide emissions by at least 500 million tonnes by 2030.
Copeland’s investment reflects its commitment to exploring and investing in cutting-edge technologies that address climate change and the challenges of heating and cooling in residential, commercial, cold chain and industrial environments. BlueHeart’s novel thermo-acoustic-based heating technology has the potential to complement current compressor technologies with a compact design and quiet operation particularly suitable for smaller sized residences.
Commenting on the investment, Ross B. Shuster, CEO, Copeland, said, “This investment will assist BlueHeart in taking their novel technology to commercial readiness and reinforces Copeland’s dedication to driving the global energy transition and delivering efficient, sustainable heating solutions worldwide.”
Focusing on their view, Michiel Hartman, CEO, Blue Heart Energy, said, “As a result, BlueHeart can take a major leap forward in bringing the BlueHeart system to market complemented and supported by a leading global partner. This investment reinforces BlueHeart’s dedication to scaling, industrialising and addressing its clients’ application needs through our technology, delivering future-proof heating and cooling solutions worldwide.”
