I'm blogging this week from an event I'm always thrilled to attend - the annual ARPA-e Energy Innovation Summit in Washington. I'm joined here by a few of my colleagues from GE Global Research to showcase a few of the projects we're partnering with ARPA-e on in the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) space, and I'd also like to take the occasion to share with you a major milestone that we've recently hit.

Africa has been hailed by Time Magazine as "the world's next great growth engine." China's trade with Africa is gigantic at over $166 billion. The U.S. is the continent's second largest trading partner at $126 billion. Other nations, including India, Japan, Brazil, Malaysia, Turkey and the Gulf Arab states, are in hot pursuit of Africa's oil and gas, timber, coal, minerals and farmland.
Companies, using technologies like horizontal drilling and fracking, are responding to the world's massive and growing demand for natural gas when there is the right combination of geology, finance, technology, regulatory framework and public acceptance.
These factors are not universally present. We have diversity and divergence -- and an absolute requirement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide -- at play.
There is cause for caution because, as in all complex processes, there is risk.
