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.

Getting Better All The Time: How Lean Management Is Helping Transform GE
In the 1970s, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology traveled to Japan to figure out why that country’s automakers were delivering cars faster than their competitors in Detroit. Their search led them to Toyota and its Toyota Production System — a set of management principles focused on boosting safety, quality and efficiency, reducing waste and creating more value with fewer resources.

The Road To Zero: New York Power Plant Teams With GE On ‘Green Hydrogen’ Demonstration Project
Thirty miles east of Poughkeepsie in Dover, New York, the Cricket Valley Energy Center occupies an old industrial site that was vacant for 20 years. Today, the place also points to the way of decarbonization in the energy industry.

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.

Carbon Cutter: GE’s ‘Fuel Guy’ Has A Plan (And Podcast) On How To Get The World To Help Slow Climate Change
Jeff Goldmeer was just a kid when he first became enchanted with the wonders of flames. “In the winter, in New York, my dad would build a fire and I would just sit and be completely fascinated,” he says. “Later, as an undergrad, when I learned that combustion was a thing and that you could study it, it really set me down the path I’m on today.”

The Way Forward: How GE Engineers Are Helping Build A Path To A Renewable Future
In the five decades since the first Earth Day, the world has made much progress in understanding the perils posed by climate change and finding the solutions we need. But we are far from done. The switch to electric cars alone will force us to reimagine not only how we make electricity, but also how we distribute it.
Renewables are clearly a big part of the future of energy, but so are natural gas, energy storage, hydropower and the digital grid. Other industries, like aviation, must also decarbonize to help prevent the planet from warming.

Packing Power: Keen to Cut Emissions, Malaysia Becomes First Country To Fire Up GE 9HA.02 Turbine
Emerging economies in Asia face a dilemma. They need more electricity to power economic growth, but they also want to cut emissions from coal they have relied on for decades. Switching from coal to natural gas can reduce a power plant’s carbon footprint by as much as 60%, according to a recent report published by GE. Meanwhile, urban density and geography prevent them from choosing options like large-scale wind or solar farms.
