Daikin Awarded $39 million Grant from DOE for Heat Pump Development


WALLER, Texas – The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) recently awarded Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, Inc. (“Daikin”) a $39 million grant to support the manufacturing of domestic inverter heat pumps. The grant will enable Daikin to enhance its production capabilities of these advanced, affordable, and energy-efficient electric heating alternatives.  

With this funding, Daikin, a leading global manufacturer and pioneer of advanced inverter heat pump technologies, will expand its product offerings to include air-to-water systems and will lead the evolution of heat pump technology in the U.S. Already widely deployed in Europe and Japan, these systems, known for their versatility and superior performance even in extreme conditions, will be the vanguard of next-generation heat pump technology in the U.S.

“Daikin is honored to receive this funding, which will significantly advance our cutting-edge inverter technology,” said Satoru Akama, CEO of Daikin. “This award from the DOE underscores our unwavering commitment to expanding access to energy-efficient heat pumps and accelerating our decarbonization goals.”

As the HVAC industry continues to develop innovative solutions to meet state and national carbon emissions reduction goals, this grant will further aid Daikin in its efforts to help facilitate the transition to clean heating. The grant will also enable Daikin to advance its mission of cultivating a highly-skilled, clean-technology-focused American workforce. This funding will create approximately 275 new jobs, enhance certification opportunities, and expand technical training for current employees within the Daikin Texas Technology Park community, which encompasses Waller, Houston, and Prairie View, Texas.
