Racing Toward Net Zero: How GE Vernova’s H-Class Turbines Are Helping Germany Transition from Coal to Gas, H2
It was in the southwestern German city of Stuttgart in the 1880s that Karl Benz devised what is considered the first automobile, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen No. 1. Today Stuttgart serves as the headquarters of automakers like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, making the city synonymous with speed. So it’s fitting that Stuttgart is now one of the sites where the country is racing ahead of the pack in one of the 21st century’s biggest industrial challenges.

GE Vernova’s New Film Series Offers Powerful and Personal Look at 3 Countries Embracing the Energy Transition
A dragon fruit farmer in Vietnam. A truck driver in Australia. A kelp fisherman in Norway. Three hardworking people plying sometimes challenging trades in different corners of the world. What links them is a changing climate that is forcing nations to reckon with how to keep the lights on while cutting carbon emissions.

Michigan Momentum: The Wolverine State Is Moving Toward Natural Gas As More EVs Roll Out Of Its Auto Plants
Like the rest of America, Michigan’s economy is running cleaner these days. Mostly that’s due to a decade-long progressive reduction of coal as an energy source as states from Texas to Illinois shutter old World War II–era plants, replacing them with renewables and natural gas. And the Wolverine State is doing its part. In 2020, natural gas surpassed coal in Michigan for the first time, and now is responsible for 37% of the state’s energy production, while coal fell to third place, behind nuclear.

Coal To Gas: How GE Is Helping Poland Advance Its Energy Strategy To Cut Carbon And Promote Renewables
Four years ago, Polish authorities were planning to construct what was to be possibly the last large coal-fired power plant in Europe. Workers had already laid the foundations and cooling towers, and coal boilers were selected for the 1,000-megawatt (MW) project in Ostroleka, a small city northeast of Warsaw.

A Year Of Sustainability Stories: How GE Is Helping Decarbonize the Energy Industry
In 2020, GE made a commitment to become carbon-neutral in its own operations by 2030, and the following year the company announced that it is going even further, reaching net zero by 2050 — including the Scope 3 emissions that result from the use of sold products. As the company unveiled its 2021 Sustainability Report this week, we looked back at some of this year’s biggest developments, which include offshore wind, hydrogen fuel, carbon capture and sequestration, small modular nuclear reactors, pumped hydro and other technologies.

A Bridge To A Cleaner Future: Natural Gas Will Help Australia Cut CO2 Emissions From Coal
Coal-fired boilers have provided global industry with steam and power since the industrial revolution. But today, their high carbon emissions have become a liability. Given their steady and reliable output of energy, replacing them is far from simple. Australia’s Manildra Group, a large family-owned agribusiness, is now lighting the way.
- Tampa Electric Company (TECO) has completed the first phase of its coal-to-gas modernization strategy at the existing 50-year-old coal-fired Big Bend Power station in Florida
- Plant powered by two new GE 7HA.02 gas turbines and associated generators started commercial operation in December 2021
- Project helped significantly change TECO’s fuel mix with natural gas-fired combined-cycle plant nearly halving CO2 emissions compared to older facility it replaced

Energy Transition: GE Tech Helps Florida Power Plant Take A Bite Out Of Emissions
Hillsborough County on Florida’s Gulf Coast is a perfect example for understanding how Florida became one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S. Encompassing the Tampa Bay metro area, it grew from a population of less than 1 million in 2000 to close to 1.5 million in 2020. And over the next 30 years, the county is projected to be the nation’s third-largest gainer in terms of population, with 600,000 more new residents coming. One thing they’ll surely need when they settle down is electricity.
