December 07, 2015
Two of the world’s most efficient gas turbines, made by GE in Greenville, South Carolina, will drive a new power plant built by Moxie Energy and Caithness Energy in Salem Township in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The 1,029-megawatt (MW) facility, called Caithness Moxie Freedom generation plant, will tap natural gas from the world’s most prolific shale gas area, the Marcellus Formation, and generate enough electricity to power approximately 1 million American homes when the plant comes online in 2018. It will help Pennsylvania and the wider region shift away from coal to cleaner energy.

GE: Providing a more effective and innovative solution to power Vietnam

October 05, 2015
With energy demands growing rapidly, Vietnam is optimising electricity generation to ensure its power-hungry industries stay on the grid. The Vietnamese government expects the electricity demand to reach 360 billion kWh in 2020, compared to a projected 210 kWh in 2015. In line with the rising demand, total investment for the power sector is estimated to reach $48.8 billion in 2020 and nearly $75 billion in the period from 2021 to 2030. Given this scenario, the Vietnamese have been exploring more efficient ways to generate power, both in terms of costs as well as impact to the environment.

Last month, Pope Francis delivered his third Easter Sunday Mass to throngs of pilgrims spilling below his balcony across St. Peter’s Square. The square and the broad Via della Conciliazone leading to the Vatican can hold some 250,000 people, but his seasonal Urbi et Orbi address and blessing (meaning in Latin to the city – Rome - and to the world) reached a much bigger audience thanks to Vatican Radio.

Desalination: Salt of the earth in the fight against water scarcity

May 17, 2014

The scarcity of fresh water resources and the need for additional water supply are critical issues in many countries around the world, including Indonesia. By 2015, Indonesia’s total population is projected to reach 247.5 million, as reported by the Central Bureau of Statistics (Badan Pusat Statistik/BPS).  That means Indonesia needs as much as 9,391 billion m3 of water by 2015; 47% more water than it needed in 2000.
