Meeting net-zero greenhouse gas emissions

Our assessments inform customer strategy and roadmaps to unlock opportunities to reduce and remove greenhouse gas (GHG) and CO2 emissions, building the foundation for future energy systems. We can assess your current GHG emissions and provide tailored analytics and processes to help you track and understand your CO2 impact. We’ll  work with you to develop a strategic approach to meet your net zero targets in the cleaner energy future.

Project examples

USA (New York)

14%

reduction in CO2 emissions (35% H2 by volume, cofiring at 47 MW)

~88%

overall drop in CO2 emissions as a result of hydrogen fuel fraction

Green hydrogen demonstration project

Recently The New York Power Authority (NYPA), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and GE Vernova Consulting Services (GCS) conducted a test demonstration to study impacts on operability and emissions while operating on a blend of hydrogen and natural gas. The Brentwood Small Power Plant was the staging ground to vet the changes power plants need to operate on this zero-carbon fuel. The results? Decreased carbon emissions, continued thermal plant reliability, and perhaps a new key to unlock a cleaner energy future. 

Project details
India

24/7

affordable power for all residents

175 GW

additional renewable power on the grid

Integrated wind, solar and storage project

Working with Shakti Foundation, CEA, POSOCO, and MNRE, GCS developed an assessment to determine whether India’s power grid could remain stable and meet load requirements while integrating additional renewable power sources. In their assessment process, GCS developed a production simulation model in MAPS to examine the hourly and annual impact on system operations and economics, evaluated operational issues, and used MARS to assess the reliability of India’s grid system and analyze additional generation capacity requirements to meet target LOLE levels..

Canada

From 5% to ~35%

wind energy by 2025

>1/3 of Canada’s power

can come from wind

Renewables integration project

In collaboration with the Canadian Renewable Energy Association, GCS developed a study to help Canadian policymakers and planners understand the impact of higher penetration of wind energy—from 5% today to 35% by 2025. GCS needed to determine how to most effectively integrate large amounts of wind within the provinces, so they conducted the first-ever nationwide analysis of wind energy integration. Analysis shows Canada can get more than one-third of its electricity from wind without compromising grid reliability, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and generating new export opportunities.

India

175 GW

renewable power goal

>1,200 MW

power generation needs

A blueprint for hybrid grid-scale renewable energy

With India’s ambitious renewable capacity goals, the GE Vernova Consulting Services team was called on to determine the technical and commercial feasibility of an integrated wind, solar and energy storage (IWSES) plant with combined generation capacity of more than 1,200 MW. The Consulting Services team provided a blueprint for developing the financial and technical elements of an IWSES plant that addressed challenges by connecting and siting wind, solar and battery storage in the same place, and laid out the business case to make it economically viable.
