GE highlights key technologies for a sustainable energy future at World Future Energy Summit 2011
GE 's energy's technology and services supporting region's goal towards higher efficiency and smaller carbon footprint
Held under the patronage of HH General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces and hosted by the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (MASDAR), the theme at this year's WFES is 'Enabling Future Energy Solutions'.
" GE is leveraging its global capabilities to develop smarter, cleaner and fuel-flexible energy and water technologies that support environmentally compatible economic growth throughout the region," said Joseph Anis, GE Energy's region executive for the Middle East. "We understand the needs of the region and are committed to supplying tailored solutions to maximize the use of available resources so as to support the region towards a sustainable energy future."
Additionally, Frank Ackland, Regional General Manager, Digital Energy, GE Energy Services, will be part of a plenary session on January 19 at 2pm discussing smart grid and its role in renewable integration. Ackland will discuss how investments are required today to integrate the variety of technologies needed for generating decentralized energy. While revolutionary energy technologies are developed each day, the way they are applied to modernize and nurture the electrical infrastructure is really more of an evolution than a revolution.
- Innovative and fuel flexible energy technologies including GE Energy's' Jenbacher biogas and natural gas-fired engines; and GE 's portfolio of high-efficiency gas and steam turbines that offer enhanced operational flexibility and efficiency.
- Crucial localization initiatives with some of the Middle East's leading energy and engineering services companies to complement GE 's extensive local and international engineering and service facilities. For example, GE is an anchor partner in Abu Dhabi's Masdar initiative - a comprehensive response to the need for a global focus on resource conservation and the alternative energy sector. It is designed to ensure in the long term that Abu Dhabi retains and even grows its share of the global energy market.
With its global resources and experience, as well as its long and successful regional heritage, GE is well-positioned to understand and respond to the cleaner technology and efficiency needs of the Middle East.
