A Milestone Toward Ending Gas Flaring: How GE’s Mobile Turbines Help Cut Oil Site Emissions in Yemen

For decades, the blazing plumes of oil-site gas flares have featured in fossil-fuel news reports and dystopias like Blade Runner — emblems of the massive economic waste and carbon emissions most assume are just costs of doing business.

From Fast Cars to Gas Turbine Generators, GE Vernova’s Mirella Abboud Is Racing Ahead in Her Career

“What are you doing here?”Mirella Abboud laughs as she recalls the facial expressions, which spoke volumes, of her peers — all of them male — during her 2011 internship at Beirut’s Scuderia Lebanon, a Ferrari dealership. Even a dozen years ago, it was somewhat shocking to see the grease-smudged face of a young woman emerge from beneath the hydraulic lift after working on a sleek 458 Italia.

‘Once You Do It, You Can Fly’: How GE Gas Power’s Marketing Team Pioneered a New Approach to Lean Management

A few years ago, Meg Chapman attended a training program for GE senior leaders on how to implement the management philosophy known as lean. Larry Culp, who had recently joined GE as chairman and CEO, had placed lean — the idea of cutting waste and working more efficiently — at the heart of GE’s turnaround. It has since been implemented at a wide variety of manufacturing plants, where it’s streamlined production processes, improved safety, and resulted in millions of dollars in savings.

Shipping Sunshine: GE and IHI Explore Ways to Transform Ammonia Into a Cleaner Energy Source

Japan presides over a highly developed economy, yet, lacking abundant domestic energy sources, it remains reliant on the costly import of coal, oil, and natural gas in the form of liquefied natural gas. But what if there was a way to import energy that’s a lot cleaner? And not only to Japan but all of Asia?

Feeling Connected: How Engineer Devon Shepherd Put On Her Authentic Face and Succeeded at GE

When she was a little girl, every Friday for six years of her childhood in Columbus, Ohio, Devon Shepherd’s family would get in their minivan and drive to the airport to watch planes take off and land. Shepherd marveled at how amazing they were. What makes them fly? she often wondered.

Mr. Fix-It: A Spraying, Snaking Robot Aims to Patch America’s Crumbling Pipelines

Six to ten feet below the ground, 12-inch pipes carry natural gas all over America. They wind around electrical conduits and water mains. They bear the weight of daily commutes, delivery trucks, and city buses. And a lot of them are leaking. “Some of these pipes have been in the ground for over 100 years, and they’re only getting older,” says Alexander Duncan, a roboticist at GE Research. “Nobody really thought through how to service them. So it’s now a massive and costly problem for the national infrastructure.”

Blending Art and Science: GE Engineer Colin Parris Transforms Curiosity Into Innovation

As an electrical engineering major at Howard University in the 1980s, Colin Parris received a tricky assignment: Build a small burglar alarm that would turn on a light when a switch was opened. He painstakingly assembled a board with 300 wires, reattaching them every time they got jiggled out of place in his locker. He estimates the project took 40 to 50 hours.Then Parris was asked to use an 8-bit microprocessor to complete the same assignment. With 10 wires connected to LED lights and a small amount of programming, he built his second burglar alarm in about three hours.

Urgent Power: A Mobile GE Gas Turbine Will Help Supply Energy in Wintry, War-Torn Ukraine

On an average winter day in Ukraine, temperatures barely creep above freezing. Millions of residents, driven from their homes since war broke out nearly a year ago, huddle against the cold in makeshift shelters and bombed-out buildings. Millions more brace for the blackouts that have become routine since Russian forces began targeting power utilities in October.

Red Sea Show: How a GE Gas Turbine at COP27 Ran on Hydrogen-Blended Fuel for the First Time in Africa

Many of the world’s policymakers and major utilities who attended the 27th United Nations Climate Change conference in Egypt last month heard about GE’s LM6000 aeroderivative turbine. GE has shipped 1,300 units to date, and the turbine fleet has clocked more than 40 million operating hours worldwide. The easy-to-deploy LM6000, which is derived from a jet engine, is particularly welcomed in developing countries that need a quick boost in grid capacity.
