Powering the planet in cleaner, more sustainable ways.

GE researchers are developing a broad array of technologies to deliver cleaner, more sustainable ways to power the planet.

GE has been a world leader in power-generation equipment for more than 100 years, which is why you might see that we have a vested interest in the future of the energy market. The key global drivers for the industry are environmental impact and energy independence, so we are heavily investing in new “sustainable” technologies that will create the energy systems of the future.

The challenge for the market is not trivial: how to meet the rising demand for energy while at the same time having less impact on the environment. In response to this challenge, we have focused our research efforts on making cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy a reality. We have an advanced technology program in sustainable energy, which is developing new systems to capture more wind more efficiently, exploring how to generate power from sunlight more cost effectively, and looking for new ways to leverage abundant sources of energy by utilizing technologies such as coal and biomass gasification.

Our dedicated team of technologists from across Global Research is committed to delivering more sustainable energy solutions for our customers and for the planet.
