Meeting the challenge

Climate change

Addressing climate change must be an urgent global priority. To change course, the world must act quickly to decarbonize every aspect of modern life, from transportation to power. This requires a global effort built on cooperation and coordination from every major institution, government, and company to face and meet the challenge. 

Speed and scale—a powerful combination

GE knows that the power sector serves as a model for other industries around the world. We believe that lower-carbon solutions, such as renewable energy supported by gas power, can contribute to a more decarbonized energy future. Their complementary nature offers tremendous potential to help cut carbon emissions  with the speed and scale the world requires. 

Watch how we're making a difference

Building towards zero—fuel for the future

When it comes to gas power, coal-to-gas switching represents a fast and effective win for emissions reduction in many regions around the world. In addition, switching turbines from natural gas to hydrogen, and introducing carbon capture solutions, can lead to low or near zero carbon emissions.

GE offers the industry’s most experienced gas turbine fleet in hydrogen and similar low-BTU fuel operations, with more than eight million operating hours in decades of use across more than 100 gas turbines. And we continue to invest in research and development into hydrogen and carbon capture technologies in close partnership with GE’s Global Research Center—to help further advance a low or near-zero carbon footprint for gas power.

The inherent trilemma

More power, less emissions

Our position on decarbonization takes into account the “trilemma” facing every country when it comes to the future of energy: simultaneously balancing affordability, reliability, and sustainability. Depending on the level of economic development in each country, the solution to the trilemma looks different. We offer customized technology that supports decarbonization across the mix of energy sources unique to each grid. Our world-record-holding high efficiency gas turbines and upgrade solutions, fast and flexible aeroderivatives and tailor-made studies by our Energy Consulting team can make a more universal decarbonization of the energy system possible and easier.

What it means for you

A deep dive into recent U.S. legislation

Congress has enacted two landmark climate change laws—the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Both aim to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by more than 40%* by 2030 while also advancing U.S. investments in breakthrough power solutions. With the industry's broadest portfolio across the energy value chain, GE is uniquely positioned to help the United States see the promise of these laws become reality.

  • Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)
  • Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)

The IRA includes multiple clean-energy tax credits, helping to promote U.S. energy security, create jobs and investments, and reduce CO2 emissions. GE's portfolio of collective expertise in wind, gas, hydro, storage, nuclear, and grid will help accelerate the country's energy transition—today and in the future.

RENEWABLES
Onshore wind production credit

GE's onshore wind business has been the #1 wind equipment provider in the country for the last 5 years. Our next-generation, 3-MW Sierra platform is fully tested and ready to push wind growth in the U.S.

RENEWABLES
Offshore wind investment credit

GE's wind turbines are used at the only commercial, offshore wind project in the U.S. at the Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island. Our turbines will be used for the first utility-scale, offshore wind installation at Vineyard Wind, off the coast of Massachusetts.

RENEWABLES
Storage investment credit

GE’s pumped hydro storage technology is the most economical storage technology for long discharge duration as it is capable of production, storage, grid stabilization, and water management. We offer both standalone and integrated hybrid applications.

RENEWABLES
Hydro production / investment credit

A global leader in hydro projects and refurbishments, GE technologies are providing baseload power while helping the environment. GE Hydro's portfolio acts as a force multiplier for renewables—balancing and enhancing the grid—as more renewable resources come online.

RENEWABLES
Advanced manufacturing credit

Our nacelle facility in Pensacola, FL and our LM Blade facility in Grand Forks, ND provide onshore wind turbines to our U.S. customers. For offshore wind, the benefits tied to localization and significant federal and state targets, provides a clear path for developing a U.S. supply chain.

CARBON
Carbon capture sequestration credit

We are working in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy and other stakeholders to equip existing natural-gas fired power plants with advanced carbon capture technology.

HYDROGEN
Clean hydrogen production credit

Our extensive portfolio includes wind and nuclear technologies to propel the new hydrogen economy forward as well as hydrogen-capable gas turbines with more than 8 million hours of operating experience.

NUCLEAR
Nuclear power production credit

GE is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors and fuel and nuclear services, supporting over 60% of the U.S. installed fleet.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)

The IIJA is a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure and competitiveness. The law is aimed at modernizing the electricity grid to improve resiliency. IIJA also invests in the deployment of breakthrough technologies to accelerate energy innovation.
