2012 Annual Report

A real opportunity for change is here, and change will come through a relentless focus on performance and productivity. At GE, we look forward with confidence. That is because we can shape some of the big growth drivers in any area.

Shale Gas Revolution

To make compressed natural gas (CNG) more accessible as a transportation fuel, GE Oil & Gas and Chesapeake Energy created a compact refueling solution, the CNG In A Box™ system. The benefits are impressive: For every fleet vehicle filled with CNG instead of gasoline, carbon dioxide emissions equivalents are reduced about 24%.
Next-Generation Materials

We’re pioneering the use of parts made from non-metallic, composite materials. On the CFM LEAP engine, GE will provide the first ceramic matrix composites in a commercial jet engine’s “hot section.” The resulting increase in heat tolerance will help lead to a projected 15% reduction in fuel consumption compared to prior-generation engines.
Driving the Industrial Internet

Our Rail Optimization Solutions help railroads move freight faster and more cost effectively. Norfolk Southern, a major Movement Planner customer, estimates that every 1 mph increase in network speed saves an estimated $200 million in annual capital and operating expenses.
Fueling Airline Productivity

GE’s Fuel & Carbon Solutions helps airlines reduce fuel consumption by combining advanced data analytics and industry expertise. Our estimates are that it could save the entire global airline industry more than 1.3 billion gallons of fuel per year, valued at more than $4 billion, and eliminate more than 12.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
