As chief operating officer of Etihad Airways, Mohammad Al Bulooki is paying close attention to what his customers are saying. That includes his 10-year-old son. “I asked him, ‘What’s the biggest problem in the world?’” Al Bulooki said. “He said, ‘The environment.’ That was his answer. If you asked me when I was his age, I would tell you Ninja Turtles.” Al Bulooki wasn’t trying to be funny. He was making a point. Sustainability and protecting the environment isn’t just good for the planet. It’s a smart way of doing business.

Towards circular wind turbines: LM Wind Power to produce zero waste blades by 2030

November 23, 2021
  • The company will reuse, repurpose, recycle or recover all the excess materials from manufacturing of blades, giving up on landfilling and incineration as waste management solutions.
  • It will also partner with its suppliers to prevent waste in blade manufacturing, which today accounts for nearly one third of LM Wind Power’s operational carbon footprint.
  • Zero waste blades represent a significant step forward on the industry’s circularity ambitions.

A Man On A Mission: Gurhan Andac Wants To Bring Sustainable Aviation Fuel To An Airport Near You

Will Palmer
October 24, 2021

When Gurhan Andac was growing up in Ankara, Turkey, he dreamed of designing big ships or locomotives. Then, during his senior year at college, a professor showed the class a video about gas turbine jet engines, and he was converted. He decided to apply for graduate school abroad and was accepted into the University of Southern California’s engineering program. To help him plan his education, he wrote to GE to ask for advice, knowing it was a place where he might be able to pursue that career someday.

Got Gas? GE Is Helping Australia Become A Hydrogen Powerhouse — At Home And Abroad

Will Palmer
October 12, 2021

In 1836, Charles Darwin visited Australia as part of the historic second voyage of the HMS Beagle. Though he didn’t make landfall on that continent’s northern coast, the Beagle’s follow-up expedition studied the shores of the Northern Territory, and the captain of the Beagle gave Port Darwin its name in honor of the father of the theory of evolution. Today Darwin is the territory’s capital, and it’s playing a role in a new kind of evolution for our species: the transition toward a decarbonized energy future.

Charged Up: This GE Tech Is Engineered To Speed Up Energy Transition

GE Reports Staff
August 09, 2021

Last year, GE made a commitment to becoming carbon-neutral in its own operations by 2030. In GE’s 2020 Sustainability Report, released this summer, the company is going even further, with an ambition to be net zero by 2050, including Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products. GE’s tradition of innovation will play a big role as engineers find new ways to help solve looming challenges like the energy transition to address climate change.

We Have To Succeed: GE’s Sustainability Leader Talks About The Company’s 2020 Sustainability Report

Tomas Kellner
July 12, 2021

Much has changed since GE first opened for business 129 years ago, but one thing has remained constant: the company’s focus on innovation. It led to technology that allowed power companies to supply electricity to millions of people and electrify the world; it enabled doctors to find new ways to treat disease by developing new medical imaging technology; and it also helped open the world to travel and aviation, an industry that didn’t even exist when Thomas Edison founded GE.
