LG's Linear Compressor technology is one of the most important components in our refrigerator's operation, defining the performance of the entire cooling system.

LG to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 14 million tons in 2011
March 29th, 2011 by LG Blog UK
We are all very aware of the impact our everyday lives can have on CO2 emissions and the subsequent effect this can have on the environment. With that in mind we are pleased that LG recently announced that they are on track to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by almost 14 million tons this year, up from last year’s record of 12.9 million tons. This goes a long way toward their goal of 200 million tons of cumulative reductions between 2009 and 2020 as part of the “Green 2020” plan.
To reach the target set by the Green 2020 project, LG...

Plant Powered Air Purifier
September 17th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
French designer Mathieu Lenhanner together with Harward professor David Edwards have come up with a organic air purifier , powered by a houseplant.
The clever invention goes by the name of ANDREA and will be on sale from October. So how does it work?
The plant absorbes the air through its leaves and roots and the filtered air provides a more environmentally friendly option to the standard air purifier. It works best in a room as big as 40 m2 and it is very easy to maintain as the plant requires simply watering.

Which? cite LG’s LH2000 TV as “greener than Sony’s Eco WE5″
July 13th, 2009 by LG Blog UK
Independent Consumer group Which? say their researchers have seen a dramatic decrease in TV power consumption in 2009, particularly from brands like LG. The 42" LH2000 is in the current batch of TVs being tested at the Which? lab and has received full marks for its green credentials:
The 40-inch Sony WE5, a model marketed as an Eco TV, also fared very well in our power consumption tests and boasts a range of 'Eco' features, but it didn't quite score as well in our energy efficiency tests as its larger, LG counterpart.
Both models typically use around 90 watts when switched on...

Solar powered clothing
August 19th, 2008 by LG Blog UK
Solar panels are appearing on everything these days, and in one of those nice blends of tech and fashion, it appears they're now appearing on clothes to help you charge your mobile or your gadgets - thus saving you the perils of a flat battery.
On the left is a solar powered tie that I found via Phones Review: academics at Iowa State University - the panels provide power for a phone charger (which you just pop in a pocket behind the tie). It wasn't just a case of gluing on some panels - they had to make sure the tie...

As one door closes… a light bulb grows bright?
March 7th, 2008 by LG Blog UK
To make up for the relative quiet last week (hope you didn't miss us too much!) here's another post to keep you going. Happy weekend!
Inhabitat and a free newspaper I found on the bus the other night were keen to discuss the merits of this new green energy Revolving door by Fluxxlab.

Inhabitat praise it as being "an ingenious sustainable energy harvesting idea that makes you wonder why no one else has thought of it before." Sorry to burst the bubbles guys, but somebody did think of it: in 2005 on Halfbakery. But that's not to discount the Fluxxlab...
