Job Description

Addressing the climate crisis is an urgent global priority. If we want our energy future to be different, we must be different and lead the initiative to drive change. That is our mission. Steam Turbines are one of GE’s core products for clean energy generation. When used in combined cycle plants they enable the achievement of upmost efficiency and power. Whether the plant operates on liquid or gaseous fuels, carbon neutral e-fuels or hydrogen, steam turbines significantly drive decarbonization. While steam turbines themselves are CO2 free, they also enable traditional combined-cycle plants to reduce carbon emissions through carbon capture capabilities.
