GE Is Helping Build A Huge Wind Farm On Santa’s Doorstep, Europe’s Largest

Dorothy Pomerantz

In Markbygden forest in the northern Sweden, the temperature drops to minus 10 degrees Celsius in the winter and bitter winds blow.

How Do You Move A 3,000-Tonne Biomass Boiler From Finland To Germany? You Turn It Into A Huge Jigsaw Puzzle

Maggie Sieger

The Guinness World Record for the biggest jigsaw puzzle belongs to the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The puzzle (an image of a lotus flower) was 48 feet by 76 feet (14.6 meters by 23.2 meters) and consisted of 551,232 pieces. A GE project in Finland might rival that record for size and complexity. In this case, it’s not a jigsaw puzzle that requires assembly, but a giant Foster Wheeler biomass boiler.

How The Latest Technology Is Transforming The Oldest Green Power Plants

Bruce Watson
October 25, 2017
Scandinavian power company Fortum is the top producer of "certified" renewable electricity in Finland and Sweden. Much of it comes from 169 hydroelectric plants, some more than a century old, that use fast-flowing water to spin turbines and generate power.

Give it a brain.
