In the ongoing effort to reduce emissions, retire coal, and support the growth of renewables, countries around the world continue to choose high-efficiency natural gas to complement renewables and smooth the path to lower emissions. Take Greece, for example, a country that’s impressively built out wind and solar in recent years but still uses a good deal of coal and even oil in power generation.

Tapping the Lean Machine: How a Jet-Engine-Servicing Plant in Brazil Solved the Puzzle of Missing Spare Parts

Chris Norris
April 05, 2023

Soon after the pandemic hit in 2020, a team of logistics employees at a GE Aerospace plant in Brazil that services jet engines detected something odd, and worrisome: The number of available spare parts, used to repair engines, had dropped dramatically because of a cut in air freight deliveries. And those that did arrive often came in patchwork fashion and wound up stuck on the ground at Rio de Janeiro’s Galeão International Airport, stalled by lengthy import-paperwork delays. The consequences were potentially serious.

Start Me Up: These Huge Turbines Are Ready To Boost Brazil’s Smallest State

January 02, 2020

In the popular imagination, Brazil is an eternal carnival of sun, samba and soccer on the sand in Rio de Janeiro. Yet many Brazilians claim that the real Brazil is actually the country’s sprawling northeast region, which is a long way from the golden beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The Northeast is the home of capoeira, the hypnotic Afro-Brazilian martial art; the sertão, the country’s semi-mythical scrubby outback; and forró, the folk music that farmers sang in hope of bumper harvests of corn, sugarcane and coffee.

This Drone Visited The World's No. 1 Hydropower Plant. Here's What It Found.

Tomas Kellner
June 23, 2016
The American Society of Civil Engineers calls Brazil’s Itaipu Dam on the Paraná River one of the seven wonders of the modern world. The massive structure holds a row of 20 giant turbines, half of them manufactured by GE Renewable Energy. In 2008, they generated 94,684 megawatts, then the largest amount of power ever from a single dam. Itaipu alone supplies Brazil with a quarter of its power, and Paraguay with 90 percent of its electricity needs.
