LG to Spend $18 Billion to Cut CO2, Make Energy-Saving Products
April 11, 2010, 10:09 PM EDT


By Shinhye Kang

April 12 (Bloomberg) -- LG Group, South Korea’s fourth- largest conglomerate, plans to invest 20 trillion won ($18 billion) by 2020 to cut the group’s greenhouse-gas emissions and develop energy-saving products.

The investment will help reduce emissions by 50 million metric tons a year by 2020, Seoul-based LG said in a statement yesterday, without giving its current output of gases including carbon dioxide blamed for global warming.

South Korea, Asia’s fourth-largest polluter, plans to cut emissions by 30 percent by 2020. Posco, its biggest steelmaker, said in February it will reduce emissions from its factories by 9 percent by the end of the decade.

LG will develop air conditioners, refrigerators and television sets that are more energy-efficient, according to the statement. The group, which controls LG Electronics Inc., LG Display Co. and LG Chem Ltd., will also widen its range of electric-car batteries and solar cells.

Sales from energy-saving products may account for about 10 percent of overall revenue, LG said.

Gartner: Handy-Verkäufe steigen im ersten Quartal um 17 Prozent

EGHAM (dpa-AFX) - Der weltweite Handymarkt hat sich nach Daten des Marktforschungsinstituts Gartner im ersten Quartal deutlich erholt. Weltweit seien die Verkaufszahlen von Januar bis März um 17 Prozent auf 315 Millionen gestiegen, teilte das Institut am Mittwoch im britischen Egham mit.

LG will Windows Phones vor Konkurrenz verkaufen
17.08.2010

Der koreanische Hersteller LG Electronics will der erste Hersteller sein, der ein Handy mit dem neuen Microsoft-System Windows Phone 7 auf den Markt bringt. Damit will er die asiatischen Konkurrenten Samsung und HTC ausstechen und seine Marktanteile verbessern, schreibt das Technik-Blog What-Hi-Fi. LG wird die Windows Phones als Teil seiner Optimus-Reihe verkaufen, heißt es weiter. Die besteht derzeit ausschließlich aus Android-Handys ohne Volltastatur.

Das allererste Windows Phone soll ein Display mit 3,8 Zoll haben und mit einem schnellen Prozessor in den Handel kommen. Eine besondere US-Version ist ebenfalls geplant, sie wird sogar eine ausziehbare Volltastatur haben, schreibt das Blog weiter. Möglicherweise ist damit das LG Panther gemeint, das bereits seit Monaten durch das Internet geistert. Glaubt man dem Blog, dann kommen die LG-Geräte im Oktober zuerst in Europa auf den Markt.

SPI 2010: LG Electronics launches solar product technology onslaught on U.S.
12 October 2010 | By Mark Osborne | News > Cell Processing, Thin Film, Silicon TF



Like other major consumer driven electronics firms based in Korea, LG Electronics sees the solar energy market across residential, commercial and utilities as key sectors for business growth. At Solar Power International 2010, LG is launched a slew of advanced high-performance solar modules from crystalline to thin-film. The company is targeting its global solar business reach US$2.4 billion in revenue by 2015 by investing US$820 million over the next five years in its solar cell research and manufacturing to increase production capacity to more than 1GW.

"The U.S. is one of the fastest growing solar markets in the world and is expected to grow significantly over the next several years, in part due to federal and state incentives," noted Geoff Slevin, Vice President, Solar Division, LG Electronics North America. (Slevin joined LG this year from Carlisle Energy Services and BP Solar.) "LG's commitment to solar in the U.S. comes at just the right time to meet market demand for solar power with high-quality, sustainable and innovative products that consumers and businesses alike have come to expect from a global technology leader."

Although LG’s high-power monocrystalline module (using its second generation process technology) will not be available until sometime in 2011, it packs many features that are required to be classed at the leading-edge of mainstream sector of the market.



LG said it was using Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) on the wafers to create a uniform roughness on the surface to boost light capture. RIE processes are common in the semiconductor industry to create and enhance features fabricated to make the semiconductor.

The company is also employing metal wrap through (MWT) technology, which can remove the wide ribbon on the front of a multicrystalline module, adding cell surface area for higher efficiencies. The multicrystalline module is also claimed to have tackled light induced degradation (LID).

Coupled to what the company describes as a unique light weight anodized frame design with improved drainage and toughness, LG is attempting to hit all market segments as hard as possible.

On the thin-film front, LG said that it will market an 11.1% tandem-junction silicon thin-film module for commercial and utility-scale markets. However, LG did not reveal shipments dates.

With the move by Samsung to enter the solar cell market and Hyundai Heavy Industries already entering the module market the major Korea-based electronics firms have set their sites on solar and North America is a clear battle-ground going forward.
