The three GE engineers were all worrying about the same thing: Would the crane and the generator arrive at the same time? Ganesh Potharaju, Guy Stoeckel and Charlie Clement had spent months planning, down to the minute, how to swap out a 30-year-old steam-powered generator for a brand-new one at the Calaca power station on Luzon, the largest and most populous island in the Philippines.

Full Steam Ahead: This Biomass-Burning Plant Will Inch Japan Closer To Its Renewables Goals

February 05, 2020
As a modern-day wonder of reinvention, Japan’s power sector rivals David Bowie, Madonna and Prince. In the decade prior to 2011, fossil fuels and nuclear power dominated the country’s grid, generating close to 90% of the island nation’s electricity. But following the devastating tsunami in 2011, Japanese authorities shut down the country’s 11 nuclear reactors (which represented about 30% of Japanese electricity at the time) and boosted imports of liquified natural gas (LNG), fuel oil and coal to burn in the country’s power plants.

Answering Pakistan’s Burning Question: How To Ignite Lignite?

Amy Kover
July 13, 2018

Buried 1,000 feet below the parched Thar Desert in Pakistan lies more fuel energy than all the known oil in Iran and Saudi Arabia combined. Just a small fraction of this 175-billion-ton lignite coal reserve is plentiful enough to supply one-fifth of Pakistan’s current energy levels for 50 years.
