It’s a Wrap: 9 Ways GE Put Words Into Action at COP27
We are in a critical decade of action that will support the energy transition to drive decarbonization. More than 100 heads of state and over 35,000 participants came together in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, for two weeks in November at COP27, which was dubbed the “implementation COP.”
5 scientific studies that make life more livable
Creating a clear coating of windows that can keep rooms bright and cool, sacrificing sensitivity for tenderness, and rewriting lunar history embrace science at the small scale and solve complex problems. Let’s see how these technologies change the shape of things to come.
Clearwater Revival: How a Florida Plant Embraced Lean to Boost Productivity and Enhance Safety
Every day, the world’s power grids are adapting to bridge the gap between the fossil fuel era and the renewables age. Instrumental in building that bridge are the 700 operators and managers who work at GE’s Grid Solutions Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Clearwater, Florida, and produce thousands of components such as capacitors and power sensors, which help the grid absorb wind and solar generation smoothly and safely.
Sick and Tired: A New Study Is Using GE’s Experimental MRI to Examine How Poor Sleep Affects the Brain
It’s practically endemic in the modern world. The college student finishing a term paper as the sun comes up, the new parents feeding the baby at 3 a.m., the foreman on the graveyard shift — they’re all among the more than a third of adults in the U.S. who don’t get enough sleep. Long-term, sleep deprivation can have severe ramifications, beyond what can be remedied by a double espresso or a power nap.
Transformers: At COP27, Martella Announces Formation of a Coalition of Companies to Innovate Toward Net Zero
“I’m here to talk about a transformation,” Roger Martella said on Tuesday during the U.S. Center’s opening ceremony at COP27, in the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh.
COP27 Special: 27 Ways GE Is Helping Accelerate the Energy Transition and the Future of Flight
Next week the 197 signatory nations of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will convene in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, for the 27th annual meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP27). It’s the largest gathering of governments, businesses, NGOs, and civil society groups coming together to tackle the climate crisis and push forward on goals to protect the planet.
5 scientific studies that open “the door” between the past and the future
With the rapid development of modern science and technology, a lot of innovations and creativity are not only able to help people approach the future world but also draw them closer to the past. Let's find out 5 such studies and inventions.
Image Maker: This Scientist Was Inspired by the Possibilities for Improving Cancer Detection
In the late ’90s, Serge Muller urged his mother to go to a breast cancer screening just to be safe. It turned out to be a pivotal moment in both their lives.
“Her cancer was discovered because I insisted that she participate in a breast cancer screening she wanted to skip,” he reflects. “At that time, I really had the impression it saved her life.”
Winds of Change: Women Are Now Calling the Shots at This Giant Turbine Blade Factory in India
The 150,000 blades spinning away on GE Renewable Energy’s onshore wind turbines might all look the same, but one has a special backstory. It rolled off a production line staffed by women. Every inventory controller, molding technician, and supervisor on the shop floor that made the component was female.
Prepare for Impact: How GE’s Climate Action Challenge Fostered 85 Employee Environmental Projects in 90 Days
Colin Vogt stands on a berm at the northern edge of GE Aerospace’s Evendale campus, outside Cincinnati. The offices and manufacturing facilities are visible in the distance, but here Indian paintbrush, coreopsis, and native Ohio prairie grasses sway in the hot summer wind. In two years, this area will be very popular with bees, birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. The shoulder-high plants will pull carbon dioxide from the air. And the berm, which was built several years ago to keep runoff along I-75 from flooding the property, will be more stable than ever.
