Every industry is aspiring to minimize their CO₂ emissions and achieve net zero. But in some industries, reducing CO₂ emissions is not as straightforward as in others due to constraints such as mobility, footprint, or inherent process steps that make it hard to decarbonize these sectors. That’s where an innovative solution and a scalable technology called direct air capture (DAC) comes in.

Last week, at Climate Week NYC, GE Vernova was an influential voice in shaping the global conversation on smarter, more sustainable energy — highlighting the need for breakthrough solutions and urging bold leadership to meet accelerating demand. While the UN General Assembly drew headlines across town, GE Vernova contributed to the “Power On” theme at Climate Week by announcing recent advances in nuclear and carbon capture, and promoting a message of optimism, urgency, and collaboration.

Data centers, those serried racks of servers, storage devices, and network hardware that keep the internet humming, are dominating the conversation about future energy demand.

As the heat of summer wanes and the Northern Hemisphere turns its gaze toward autumn, a different kind of anticipation grips the electric utility sector in the southeastern United States. The end of summer doesn’t mean a respite from volatile weather for the region. This change in seasons ushers in the peak of Atlantic storm season, and with each passing year the stakes are getting higher.

As global energy demand grows and nations seek out lower-carbon, more secure power supply, next-generation nuclear can play an important role. Outside Bowmanville, on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Canada, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH), along with other collaborators, are laying the groundwork for the first of four BWRX-300s, a group of small modular reactors (SMRs) that will reliably and safely scale up the country’s grid with 1.2 gigawatts of 24/7 carbon-free power.

“The meaning of life is the next generation,” wrote author Grace Paley. For GE Vernova, a company dedicated to building the energy technologies of the future, that next generation of inventors is inseparable from today’s mission. Cultivating tomorrow’s energy leaders is as critical as the work of electrifying to help communities thrive and decarbonize the world.
