Copeland, a global provider of sustainable climate solutions, will participate in the Global Cherry Summit 2025, which will be held on April 22 at the Monticello Conference Center, in San Francisco de Mostazal, Chile.

Netherlands-based BlueHeart Energy, a company developing Thermo Acoustic heat pump for the residential market, has received a strategic investment from Copeland, a US-based climate solutions provider. The European Innovation Council Fund also joined as a strategic investor.The funding details, however, remain undisclosed.To support the Paris Agreement’s goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the International Energy Agency (EIA) states that the use of clean heating methods, such as heat pumps, must increase to make up half of global sales by 2030. Heat pumps alone could reduce global CO2 emissions by at least 500 million tonnes within that period.Copeland’s investment in BlueHeart Energy supports its focus on developing technologies that tackle climate change and meet heating and cooling needs in residential, commercial, cold chain and industrial environments.Ross B. Shuster, CEO of Copeland, says, “We’re pleased to announce our strategic investment in BlueHeart, whose innovative thermo-acoustic-based heat pump technology complements our best-in-class scroll compressor portfolio.”“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.”Capital utilisationCopeland will assist BlueHeart Energy in advancing its product development and preparing for market entry. This support will include guidance on manufacturing design, market insights, customer engagement strategies, and access to sales channels. The goal is to help accelerate the development and commercial use of BlueHeart’s technology.Michiel Hartman, CEO of Blue Heart Energy, says, “We’re proud to announce this important strategic step together with Copeland. 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.”BlueHeart’s visionFounded in 2016 by Michiel Hartman and Haico Halbesma, BlueHeart Energy is a spin-off from TNO. It is developing a thermo-acoustic engine to improve the performance of heat pumps. The engine uses sound waves in a closed loop to produce heating and cooling without the use of refrigerants or generating CO2 emissions
