GE And Harbin Electric To Install Two Gas Turbines Powered By Up To 10% Hydrogen Blended With Natural Gas
China’s Greater Bay Area, surrounding the Pearl River Delta, is one of the world’s most densely populated areas, with 86 million people living in nine megacities. Powering this region is no small feat, especially in a country that is shifting away from coal, which the government vows to reduce to less than 58% of the national energy mix by the end of this year.

Blueprint For The World: Ontario Picks GE Hitachi To Build New Generation of Small Nuclear Reactors In Canada
Like many countries, Canada has pledged to reduce its net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. But what makes Canada unique is how it wants to achieve that goal. Like others, it has been boosting renewables. But it also plans to add to the mix a powerful new source: small modular reactors, or SMRs, which can be deployed faster than conventional ones and at a lower cost per unit of output. Last week, the province of Ontario selected GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to build a grid-scale SMR and bring it online by the end of the decade.

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

Generation Next: How GE’s Speedy Gas Turbines Are Helping California Power Into A More Sustainable Future
Few U.S. states have been as tested by climate change as California. Heat, drought, wildfires and smoke have caused distress for residents and for utilities supplying them with electricity. To be sure, the most populous state has been aggressively adding renewables to lower its carbon emissions, but it also needs other sources of energy to supply baseload power when the sun stops shining, the wind stops blowing and water starts running low, affecting hydropower output.

New Power Generation: GE Hitachi, Partners Aim To Help Canada Become A Global Hub For New Nuclear Tech
Canada, like many industrialized countries, has pledged to reduce its net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. But what makes Canada unique is how it wants to achieve that goal. Like others, it has been boosting renewables. But it also plans to add to the mix a powerful new source: small modular reactors, or SMRs, which can be deployed faster than conventional ones and at a lower cost per unit of output. The province of Ontario is already in the process of selecting a company to build an SMR there and bring it online by 2028. It would be the first such facility in the world.
HA Hits a New High: Record-Breaking Turbines Push Past 1 Million Operating Hours
Malaysia is not unlike other nations in Southeast Asia. Its population has tripled since 1970 and stands at 33 million today, while its GDP has grown nearly a hundredfold in that time. Growth is good, but keeping everyone’s light’s on while striving to cut carbon emissions and reduce air pollution requires some creative thinking.

Energy’s New Dimension: New Power Plant Looks To Jumpstart Australia’s Hydrogen Economy
Long reliant on coal to make electricity, Australia is increasingly looking to renewable sources like wind and solar. But generating reliable, renewable power demands shoring up the grid when the breeze won’t blow and the sun won’t shine — and natural gas power is an efficient dispatchable power that can backstop these sources, and help immediately reduce emissions from coal-fired power.
