General Electric Company is focused on developing more energy efficient products and technologies to meet customer needs and drive growth. In the last year, several GE businesses won awards for energy efficiency and introduced more efficient products. GE is also investing in research on technologies like fuel cells, photovoltaics, and hydrogen that could lead to lower carbon emissions. Internally, GE has conducted a greenhouse gas emissions inventory across its global operations and is working to reduce emissions intensity over time.
