A 3X Ambition for GE at Climate Week NYC
With New York’s reputation for accelerating action to tackle the tallest challenges, it came as little surprise that this year’s Climate Week NYC summit was the most bustling in many years. Coming on the heels of unprecedented energy security threats and climate impacts, and looking ahead to the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP28, taking place in Dubai Nov. 30 to Dec. 12, the sense of urgency and action was present everywhere from hotels to the streets.

Electrification and Decarbonization: The UAE as a Springboard for Action for 2023’s Top Two Priorities
In 2023, the United Arab Emirates is taking center stage in the global efforts to address climate change and sustainability. This past week, leaders gathered for Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, kicking off a year of events leading up to the UAE-hosted COP28 at the end of the year. This momentum, following on the heels of the successful COP27 in Egypt — the “implementation COP” — will help continue driving positive action in emerging markets and globally for the decade to come.

High Energy: GE Research Veteran Jim Bray on the Promise of a Nuclear Fusion Future
There’s an old joke about nuclear fusion: It’s the energy source of the future — and always will be. When headlines blared last month that researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory had hit on a history-making fusion breakthrough, the future felt one giant step closer. To get a sense of just how much closer, we reached out to Jim Bray, who’s worked for GE Research for 48 years and is now a chief scientist in its electrical power group — and the company’s go-to expert on all things fusion (including that joke).

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.

Common Cause: GE’s Sustainability Chief Martella On The Company’s Role As A Climate Innovator
Speaking at the Techonomy Climate 2022 conference in Mountain View, California, on Tuesday, Roger Martella, GE’s chief sustainability officer, wanted to quickly underscore what brought him there: “I think history will look back on this day, this month, this year, and say this was the era of climate innovation,” he said.

Northern Light: Next-Gen Nuclear Reactors Draw Interest In Sweden
Ever since last December, when Canada’s Ontario Power Generation selected GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy to build the first grid-scale small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) and bring it online by the end of the decade, the technology has been in the news. The latest country interested in the technology is Sweden.

Small Reactors, Big Potential: TVA’s New Nuclear Program Enters Discussion To Support GE Hitachi Technology
The United States, like many industrialized countries, has pledged to reduce its net carbon emissions, and, like others, the U.S. has been boosting renewables, exploring the use of hydrogen for power generation, switching to natural gas and modernizing its grid. Now the Tennessee Valley Authority plans to add to the mix a powerful new source: small modular nuclear reactors, or SMRs, which can be deployed faster than conventional ones and at a lower cost per unit of output.

Energize This: Canada Could Become A Global Hub For New Nuclear Technology
Canada, like many industrialized countries, has pledged to reduce its net carbon emissions to zero by 2050. But what makes Canada unique is how it wants to achieve that goal. Like others, it has been boosting renewables like wind and solar. But it also plans to add to the mix a powerful new source: small modular reactors, or SMRs.
SMRs can generate carbon-free electricity while overcoming some of the nuclear industry’s biggest challenges — namely, cost and lengthy construction times.
