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.
