When Kassy Hart was a teenager, she thought the life of an engineer was a bit like a newspaper cartoon she used to read. “You’re just sitting at a desk not talking to anyone, and this boss will yell at you for no reason,” says Hart, who is now a data center and hydrogen commercialization manager at GE Vernova. “That was before I got to design something.”

Growing up near the shores of Lake Michigan in the 1990s, Lisa Berry didn’t harbor engineering ambitions. But everything changed when she joined her high school’s robotics group. “My brother had been a member, and it looked pretty cool,” remembers Berry, who is now GE Vernova’s decarbonization and data center technology director for the Americas. One of the coolest things was the chance to learn from one of the program’s founders, Natalie Lowell, a local manufacturing engineer who mentored the budding roboticists.

SINGAPORE (October 27, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) and YTLPowerSeraya Pte Limited (“YTLPS”) announced today the collaboration of the two companies on a feasibility study (“Study”) to analyze the lowering of carbon emissions of YTLPS’ H-Class Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) plant on Jurong Island, Singapore.

Following the launch of a Power Sector Carbon Capture and Storage Grant Call by Singapore’s Energy Market Authority (“EMA”), in October 2024, which invited the power industry to explore potential carbon capture solutions as part of Singapore’s energy transition towards a low-carbon future, the EMA has selected five projects on 14 July 2025.  Among these, YTLPS’ Post-Combustion Carbon Capture Study proposal was successfully selected to receive co-funding.

The Study is focused on retrofitting YTLPS’ H-Class CCGT with technology capable of capturing at least 90 percent of the plant’s carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.  With its proven expertise, GE Vernova will focus the Study on the seamless integration of the H-Class CCGT plant with post-combustion carbon capture technology, supported by three key technical solutions:

• Exhaust Gas Recirculation (“EGR”);
• Steam integration; and
• Controls integration

In comparison to traditional bolt-on post-combustion carbon capture solutions, the proposed GE Vernova’s advanced system integration with EGR technology allows a gas power plant with post-combustion carbon capture solutions to operate more efficiently and cost-effectively which reduces overall plant size, overall CAPEX and OPEX whilst also boosting overall integrated plant performance.

“We are enthusiastic that EMA awarded our 600 MW H-Class Combined Cycle Power Plant to study the integration of post-combustion carbon capture.  Our participation in the GE Vernova-led study underscores our dedication to accelerating advanced solutions to potentially retrofit our power plant to achieve net zero emission, a vital step towards producing more sustainable energy for Singapore and our communities,” said John Ng, CEO of YTLPS.

“GE Vernova’s  first-of-its-kind carbon capture assessment in Singapore proposes significant enhancements aimed at improving the proposed carbon capture process and reducing its impact on the power plants’ output, performance, and costs,” said Ramesh Singaram, President & CEO of GE Vernova's Gas Power business in Asia Pacific region. “GE Vernova will lead the full-scale integration of the study with the ultimate goal of lowering the net carbon emissions of the power plant.  We remain committed to supporting the advancement of the region’s energy goals, working alongside carbon capture players to support YTL PowerSeraya’s decarbonization efforts.”

The announcement for the post-combustion carbon capture study was made at the sidelines of Singapore International Energy Week.  This recent milestone follows other significant announcements for GE Vernova, including the selection for the innovative Net Zero Teesside (NZT) Power project, expected to be the world’s first gas-fired plant integrated with a carbon capture plant at commercial scale, and the order of GE Vernova’s combined cycle equipment  to power YTLPS CCGT on Jurong Island, Singapore. The plant is expected to be powered by a 9HA.01 gas turbine, an STF-A650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, and a triple pressure with reheat Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG).

“Decarbonization”, as used in this article, is intended to mean the reduction of carbon emissions on a kilogram per megawatt hour basis.

Let’s say you’re a developing country whose power grid is saddled with inefficient oil-fired power generation and you need to electrify quickly to meet the needs of a fast-growing economy. You might build out your solar, wind, battery storage, natural gas, or all of the above — but who can you call for help and advice?

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.

The scene: northwest Germany. A quiet farm. Enter a university student with a question that would shape her future. “Hey, when are you getting a wind turbine?”

It was a casual moment, but for Julia Vey, then an apprentice at GE Vernova in nearby Salzbergen, it planted a seed. Back in the early 2000s, wind power was still small-scale, and large turbines were rare. But Julia was fascinated — and determined to be part of what she sensed was coming.

Several forces within GE Vernova align in its new Energy of Change in Action storytelling campaign: a century-old commitment to breakthrough ideas, the relentless optimism of the company’s employees, and their common sense of purpose in meeting tomorrow’s challenges today. From developing advanced grid technologies in France to leading wind services in Brazil to managing turbine sites around the world, GE Vernova’s brilliant engineers are driving the energy transition forward.

Like many science-obsessed kids in the 1990s, William Tan wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. Then came a reality check. “I realized I wasn’t a citizen of a country that sent people to space,” says Malaysian-born-and-raised Tan, who is now senior robotics and autonomous systems engineer at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, New York.

TAIWAN (July 7, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced that the first of three blocks of Taiwan Power Company Nan Bu Construction Organization (TPC NPCO)’s Hsinta power plant, powered by GE Vernova 7HA.03 combined cycle equipment, started to operate and officially dispatch up to 1,3 gigawatt of electricity to Taiwan’s energy grid.

The new generating unit paves the way to a gradual replacement of the coal-fired units present at Hsinta site. The H-class blocks of this plant are expected to reduce the older coal units’ emissions by 60%.

TPC NPCO Director Chi-Hsiang Huang said: “Our Hsinta Power Plant in Kaohsiung is a key facility in Taiwan's energy transition, and in line with Taiwan’s Renewable Energy Development Act (REDA) energy policy centered around transitioning from nuclear power and reducing reliance on coal fuels. Our trusted and long-standing relationship with GE Vernova has been instrumental in achieving the successful commissioning of the first block, while bringing up to 1,3 gigawatts (GW) of less carbon-emitting power to our customers through.”

Hsinta power plant includes two further blocks, which are expected to start operation in phases across 2025 and 2026, bringing the combined power capacity of the plant up to nearly 4 GW, a capacity expected to provide reliable electricity to Taiwanese households and industries.

GE Vernova worked together in consortium with a local company, CTCI Corporation, to engineer, construct, and commission the first combined cycle block. Each block of the plant features two high efficiency GE Vernova 7HA.03 gas turbines with H65 hydrogen cooled generators, two Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), one GE Vernova STF-D650 steam turbine with H65 hydrogen cooled generator, and other equipment.

Ramesh Singaram, President and CEO, Asia of GE Vernova's Gas Power said: “Our latest gas turbine technology, the 7HA.03, is replacing aged coal-fired units with more efficient and flexible gas-fired combined cycle units, marking a significant step in Taiwan’s carbon emission reduction process. We are committed to support Taiwan’s power development and economic growth, helping to drastically reduce current coal power generation and to achieve up to 50% of the energy mix sourced from natural gas by 2025. TPC evaluated our HA combined cycle equipment as the best technology balancing effectively power output, efficiency, flexibility and maintainability.”

GE Vernova’s innovative block-size plant features a modular standard configuration that is simpler and more cost-effective to install, control and maintain to help a faster project execution. Thanks to its flexibility, meaning the ability to start up quickly and adjust the volume of energy produced, the new plant can help meet electricity demands and assist in stabilizing the power grid in Taiwan and improving the use of variable energy production from renewable sources.

In addition, to further advance the reduction of carbon emissions when utilizing gas power, GE Vernova 7HA.03 gas turbine currently has the capability to burn up to 50% by volume of hydrogen when blended with natural gas.

Since 1961, GE Vernova has played a significant role in supporting Taiwan's energy and infrastructure development. By 2026, gas power plants powered by GE Vernova’s assets are projected to exceed 10 GW, generating reliable capacity equal to power the equivalent of approximately more than 23 million homes in Taiwan.
