LG Refrigerators Earn ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award

Graphic showing words "Emerging Technologies" with green gears

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is pleased to announce that LG Electronics has been awarded the EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Emerging Technology Award (ETA) for Advanced Adaptive Compressor Technology that reduces energy usage and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

The 43 refrigerator-freezer models awarded the ETA outperform the federal minimum standard by at least 25 percent when the compressor is in adaptive mode compared to when the compressor is in a fixed-speed mode. They also contain low global-warming potential (GWP) (below 15) refrigerant and foam.

The ENERGY STAR® Emerging Technology Award is given to innovative technologies that meet rigorous performance criteria to reduce energy use and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
