‘A Permanent Mark on Climate Action’: GE Showcases Its Latest Energy Innovations at COP28

Christine Gibson

“GE’s a 130-year-old company founded by Thomas Edison. And it’s changed a lot over 130 years. But we’ve always had one thing in common: using innovation and technology to lift up the quality of life for people everywhere. That’s never been more important than it is today.”

It took Boeing  years to develop its newest wide-body passenger jet, the 777X, but just 15 hours to fly it from Seattle to the United Arab Emirates, where the plane made its public debut at the Dubai Airshow on Sunday. First impressions? “Magnificent 777X is out to impress,” one front-page headline declared. “X-pectant,” said another.

Until recently, the maintenance department at Emirates, the Dubai-based carrier, was operating by the book. Literally. Ground crews used detailed charts and calendar-based schedules to estimate when the engines powering its massive fleet of Boeing 777 jets needed service.

Airline managers scheduled maintenance every 400 to 600 flight hours — even if nothing was wrong — to perform routine preventative work on their GE90-115B engines, incidentally the most powerful jet engines in the world.

‘They Brought Her Up To My Face, And I Thought I Was Saying Goodbye’: Just 1.5 Pounds At Birth, This Girl Is Now The Best Reader In Her Class

In the corner of the second-grade classroom at Safa School in Dubai, Grace’s nose is buried in a Harry Potter book. She looks like any other eager 9-year-old reader. Only the pinprick scars on her hands and feet expose the months she struggled to survive her premature birth.
In 2009, Grace’s mom, Niamh Graham, was thrilled to learn she was pregnant with her first child. She experienced a smooth pregnancy until the 24th week, when, while walking slowly on the treadmill, she felt a strange sensation in her stomach.

Solar Power Is Becoming Cheap Enough To Compete With Fossil Fuels In The Gulf

October 08, 2017
Dubai has so many sunny days—more than 300 on average every year—it seems like a no-brainer for the city to use some of those rays to power its many glittering skyscrapers, massive malls and luxurious hotels. But that hasn’t been the case. Until recently, it was still cheaper to generate a kilowatt from oil or natural gas here.

Small Wonders: 3D-Printing ‘Microfactories’ Are Coming To Abu-Dhabi, Dubai

April 01, 2017
“Micro” isn’t a word that comes to mind when people talk about the United Arab Emirates, the home of the world’s tallest building, the largest man-made island and other grand attractions. But it points to the country’s future as a manufacturing and design hub. GE Additive, GE’s new business focusing on advanced technologies like 3D printing, said last week it would open the first two “microfactories” in the capital Abu-Dhabi and Dubai.

Every year, GE sends photographers, filmmakers and other visual artists around the world to document its technology in action. 2015 was no different. Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Vincent Laforet traveled to the high plains of Colorado to document how GE was testing its most advanced locomotive, pilot and photographer Adam Senatori visited three airshows on as many continents to get close to the latest planes powered by GE jet engines, and Chris New climbed to the top of an experimental wind turbine in the Mojave desert.

The Connector: Meet Joe Salvo, the Man from Digital Future

January 04, 2016
When Joe Salvo bought his house in Schenectady, New York, in 1986, he purchased a piece of history. GE built it in 1905, not long after Thomas Edison opened the company’s research labs in the city and moved manufacturing plants here. The house was intended to be the model electric home of the future. It came fully wired, with light bulbs in every room, an electric sewing machine, a toaster, an electric stove and even an electric water heater. It was the 1905 version of the self-driving car.
