Ideal for larger buildings, this system advances electrified, low-carbon heating, including in climates that fall below zero degrees Fahrenheit. The innovative chiller-heater system accelerates building decarbonization by combining heat pump technologies, controls and thermal energy storage tanks, which store heat like a battery stores electric energy, resulting in system efficiency.
Organon, a global pharmaceutical company focused on improving women’s health, is working with Trane to implement sustainable heating and cooling technology to reach their goal of carbon neutrality by 2035. Trane installed three decentralized heat pumps to replace the current fossil fuel boilers at Organon’s industrial site in Oss, Netherlands. With the three new heat pumps, Organon is saving nearly 7,700 gigajoules per year, the equivalent of nearly 243,000 cubic meters of gas annually.
In 2024, we deepened our commitment to the principles of circularity throughout our entire value chain. Our approach is to evaluate the product life cycle, from product conception to end-of-life, and examine the environmental impacts at each stage. We do this by developing circular economy strategies that reduce our reliance on virgin materials, keep products in service longer, reduce waste and create new strategic business opportunities.
Our six strategic circularity pillars are:
