From Concept to Reality
For some industries, reducing CO₂ emissions is not as straightforward as in others. We need to scale innovations to deliver reliable, affordable, and secure power to millions of people worldwide. GE Vernova is turning breakthrough innovations into operational solutions while remaining focused on upskilling the workforce to deliver the energy transition. We help concept become reality.
Pioneering nuclear power
Countries and corporations are seeking next-generation nuclear solutions to enhance their energy security, reduce carbon emissions, and meet rising energy demands.
concept
GE Vernova engineers developed a simplified Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design that modularizes the tenth generation of our boiling water reactor (BWR) technology, making the BWRX-300 scalable for rapid deployment.
reality
Construction on the GE Vernova Hitachi (GVH) BWRX-300 at Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) Darlington site in Clarington, Ontario, started in May 2025. Construction activities include pouring foundations, preparing steel, and fabricating major equipment, including the reactor pressure vessel.
Revolutionizing lower-carbon power generation
The U.K. has pledged nearly $28.5 billion to kick-start the country's carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) industry, with funding set to support projects that aim to produce power, hydrogen, and energy-from-waste, as well as subsea storage sites and pipelines.
concept
GE Vernova is advancing carbon capture for gas-fired power plants with our innovative Exhaust Gas Recirculation technology that increases CO₂ concentration, reduces capture energy demand, and supports a more efficient path to lower-carbon electricity.
reality
Construction at the NZT Power station in the U.K. began in 2025. It is expected to generate 740 MW to support the U.K.'s net zero goals and be the world's first commercial-scale gas power plant equipped with carbon capture and storage.
Hear more about the project from Hongtao Li, Carbon Capture System Integration Leader at GE Vernova.
Capturing CO₂ directly from the air
In situations with residual or unavoidable carbon emissions, an innovative and scalable technology solution is needed to reduce or eliminate those emissions.
concept
To capture carbon emissions directly from air, GE Vernova pinned its design approach on sorbent-based technology, which uses a solid chemical that acts like a sponge.
reality
The Direct Air Capture (DAC) unit at our Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY, today can capture 10 tons of CO₂ per year across a wide range of operating conditions.
Find out more and hear from Brian Moran - Executive Director of GE Vernova's DAC program.
Upskilling the energy workforce
The energy industry is expected to create 30 million jobs that will need to be filled by 2030 – this is one of the greatest challenges facing the energy industry. We embrace the opportunity to help prepare the energy workforce of the future.
concept
In Vietnam, we are seeking to strengthen the energy workforce of the future through hands-on training in project design, operations and maintenance, grid integration and transmission, and occupation health and safety.
reality
The GE Vernova Foundation launched the RENEW Skills program in Vietnam with two Centers of Excellence and labs fully equipped to support targeted training.
Kristin Carvell, Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova and President, The GE Vernova Foundation, speaks about the RENEW Skills program.
