The photo above is from the dredging project’s first phase.

1. No court ever ordered GE to dredge the Hudson River. EPA issued a decision to pursue dredging in 2002. Though we had objected to dredging in favor of less risky cleanup strategies, GE made a public commitment to cooperate with EPA and continues to meet that commitment. Indeed, EPA commended GE’s work as “super human.”

2. It is not true that the problems with the first phase of dredging were unexpected. GE’s concern about dredging was based, in part, on potential impacts on the river. GE repeatedly warned that the process of dredging itself would resuspend and send downstream larger quantities of PCBs than EPA forecast. Indeed, the level of resuspension was 25 times greater than EPA’s estimate.

3. GE did not propose a limit on the quantity of PCBs to be removed. GE proposed a limit on the quantity of PCBs that dredging is permitted to send downstream. This is important because resuspending more PCBs undercuts the benefits EPA forecast for this project.

4. There is hope, but no evidence, that dredging will result in lower PCB levels in fish “long before the last load of toxic mud is pulled up from the bottom.” As a result of the resuspension caused by the first phase of dredging, PCB levels in fish rose. The greater the quantity of PCBs resuspended by dredging, the higher PCB levels in fish and the longer they are likely to persist.

The independent peer reviewers concluded unanimously that changes are necessary in the performance standards for the second phase of dredging and recommended additional information be collected to inform the new standards. GE has offered to do what the independent scientists have recommended — collect more data on PCBs in sediments, conduct more dredging in 2011 with process modifications that may reduce resuspension, and collaborate with EPA on a computer model to set limits on the quantity of PCBs that dredging is allowed to resuspend during Phase 2.

Water world: The new sensor-based, data-driven, and software-assisted system will monitor water quality and energy use while integrating data from all over the water system. The picture above is from EPA’s testing lab. Photo: EPA

“Today’s U.S. water system is running on aging, disparate technology and a crumbling infrastructure that experts predict is in need of $600 billion in replacements and repairs,” explained Alan Hinchman, Global Industry Manager Water/Wastewater for GE Intelligent Platforms. “Since most utilities expanded and automated over a 30-year period while technology was rapidly advancing, many were left with a combination of different automation equipment creating an environment for information silos that make it impossible to share information with plant operators.”

Importantly, the R&D collaboration calls on GE and EPA to work with third parties to tackle the problem so that an industry-wide solution can be found. The results will be further developed and integrated with proprietary technologies that GE and PDA Design, a Greer, South Carolina-based green technology think tank and solution provider, have related to sensor networking and data communication technologies. The idea is to create a “building block” approach in which pieces of the system can be rolled out immediately in water systems to create initial improvements — and then much more value can be derived as other components are added on and the system scales up.

Robo-water: Whereas GE is well known in the industry for its advanced filtration technologies — everything from massive desalinization projects to creating ultrapure water used to make computer chips — GE is a major presence on the software side of the water business, too. GE Intelligent Platforms — which is at the heart of GE’s $4 billion-a-year software and solutions services businesses spanning energy, water, consumer packaged goods, government & defense, and telecommunications — is the GE business that will be working with EPA’s National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL).

If the teams can reach the 10-15 percent reduction in energy usage, it will also have an elegant, reciprocal effect. As EPA’s Thomas Speth explains: Since power plants are the largest users of water in the U.S., cutting electricity demand will, in turn, help cut power plant water use and thereby help better manage water resources.

Power play: Bob Gilligan, vice president — digital energy for GE Energy Services, said that the smart grid communications and control technologies such as those being deployed in Turkey are “enabling international trade and power-sharing breakthroughs that seemed nearly impossible just a few years ago.” Photo: World Bank.

The GE Digital Energy team says that the smart grid link-up announced today was engineered in a matter of months using GE’s interconnection safeguards and integration tools. It means Turkey will be able to buy and sell electricity across its borders — aiding its own energy needs and strengthening the reliability and availability of energy throughout all of Europe.

Clean dreams: In Turkey, foreign natural gas (48%), coal (29%) and hydro power (17%) provide the biggest shares of resources, with renewable energy producing close to 1% of the total installed capacity, according to cleantechies.com. But in 2006, the Turkish government created incentives to get the renewable sector growing. Photo: World Bank.

The smart grid work comes on the heels of April’s news that Gama Energy, a joint venture between Gama Holding A.S. and GE Energy Financial Services, was launching its first wind energy projects in Turkey. The Sares and Karadag wind farms in the country’s western region feature GE’s larger, 2.5-megawatt wind turbines and will be able to power about 59,000 average Turkish homes. Although Turkey has massive renewable energy sources, it has developed just 600 megawatts out of a potential estimated at 88 gigawatts.

Nice line-up: GE’s technologies will monitor grid status, automate control of power generation and load within Turkey, and it will optimize power sharing — with the goal of improving reliability and preventing cascading outages. It’s currently in the final phases of testing. Photo: World Bank.

Turkey’s work with the World Bank’s $5.2 billion Clean Technology Fund is designed to focus on renewable sources such as biomass, hydro, wind and geothermal –– to both develop them and to better integrate them into the grid. As blog greenprophet.com noted at the time, “Funding is being channeled through banks, which will loan cash to private entrepreneurs to give the market a boost. Banks will also give loans to business that want to become more energy efficient. The Turkish program is the first project of the Bank’s Climate Technology Fund, which is bankrolled by several countries.”

As the World Bank summed up the possibilities: “Imagine a future where energy from the sun and the wind powers megacities like Istanbul, Cairo and Mexico City — where efficient and clean mass transit systems move people where they want to go quickly. Turkey, Egypt and Mexico want to go beyond imagining.”

GE also recently launched its “ecomagination Challenge: Powering the Grid,” which is a $200 million commitment to find the best ideas from researchers, entrepreneurs and start-ups that will help create smarter, cleaner, and more efficient electric grids — and accelerate the adoption of power grid technologies. The 10-week challenge is one of the largest of its kind and is still attracting ideas on how to make the grid smarter from all over the world.

Speed racer: Here’s an artist rendering of what the next generation, higher speed passenger locomotive by GE could look like.

The teams say that the new design, with its advanced traction technology and the ability to remotely monitor key diagnostics, is poised to deliver the most reliable and efficient passenger locomotive to date. Importantly, it helps position them “to lead the way in developing locomotives for the higher-speed rail corridors of the future,” said Wabtec’s President and CEO Albert J. Neupaver.

GE’s technology was developed for the Evolution Series Locomotive, which represents a $400 million, eight-year investment. Today more than 3,700 GE Evolution Series locomotives are in revenue service around the world.

Pennsylvania-based Wabtec’s decision to go with the GE components follows China’s decision in November to work with GE to accelerate the development of high-speed rail projects in the U.S.— and the announcement in April that the new partnership is in the running to power California’s planned high-speed passenger rail project.

That expansion translates into performance, as Dow Jones Newswires just reported that JetBlue’s “traffic levels rose 8.3 percent last month from a year earlier as the discount carrier continues its outperformance compared with other airlines. The company also said preliminarily, passenger revenue per available seat mile — a key performance measure — jumped 16 percent in July…. Most airlines have been reporting gains from prior-year weak levels, but JetBlue’s growth has consistently outpaced others,” Dow Jones reported.

“Even as a fledgling airline, we could see their potential,” said Declan Kelly, GE Capital’s relationship executive responsible for JetBlue. Declan — who has almost 25 years of aviation experience, including nine as an aeronautical engineer — and the team are currently working with JetBlue to add four additional Airbus A320s to their fleet. It was GECAS, with its deep knowledge of the airline leasing industry and a fleet of over 1,800 owned and managed aircraft in 75 countries, that recently made headlines during the giant Farnborough Air Show with its latest order for 100 new planes — seen as another sign of an overall airline industry comeback.

Likewise, the GE Capital team is helping Medina, Minnesota-based Polaris Industries expand its adrenaline-fueled market for sand-dune shredding all-terrain vehicles globally, as you can see in the video below with CEO Scott Wine.

Polaris built its first snowmobile in 1956 — and while they don’t claim to have invented snowmobiles, they are credited with building one of the first practical ones “that really worked.” Now with high-tech snowmobiles, the ATV line, and an expansion into motorcycles in 1998, annual sales approach $1.6 Billion.

Polaris makes its sales via a network of nearly 1,400 dealers in the U.S., plus a growing distribution network in Canada and abroad. To help maximize that network, especially in a global economic slowdown, GE Capital — which has a 26-year relationship with Polaris — is currently working with them on two fronts. On the one hand, GE’s Commercial Distribution Finance team, which has a broad footprint in motorsports financing, gives insight into industry-wide trends beyond Polaris’ dealers to help them manage inventory and risk. On the other, GE Capital Sales Finance helps Polaris build sales volume by providing promotional financing programs — with over 90 percent of U.S. Polaris dealers signed up to use GE Capital financing plans.

Power pioneers: “Idaho Wind is among the projects helping us to reach our goal of accumulating investments of $6 billion in renewable energy by the end of this year,” Alex Urquhart, President and CEO of GE Energy Financial Services, told the crowd at the ceremony. The other investors include Reunion Power, Exergy Development Group and Atlantic Power Corp. One of the sites is pictured above.

As the Idaho Press Tribune summed it up, here’s the Idaho Wind Project by the numbers:

• 122 wind turbines
• 11 wind farms
• 10,000 acres of land
• $500 million total project cost
• 331,000 tons of avoided greenhouse gasses per year
• 57,000 cars off the road in equivalent energy savings
• 39,700 average Idaho homes powered
• 175 construction jobs created
• 25 permanent technician jobs created
• 346.5 megawatts wind power capacity statewide after the project is completed
• 112 percent increase in statewide wind power capacity

The project will use GE’s 1.5-megawatt turbines, over 13,500 of which have been installed worldwide. In addition to supplying the turbines, GE will provide operational and maintenance services. The video below is from Idaho’s KTVB coverage of the event.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts-based NSTAR Electric is expanding its GE-powered “self-healing” grid project. The smart grid technology automatically identifies the location of power outages, isolates faulted sections of the network and re-routes power from other sources, essentially “healing” the system.

The initial rollout is expected to show a 50 percent decrease in the number of customers affected by failures on main line circuits. The technology is already operating in a portion of network, but now with the expansion, it will mark the nation’s first utility system-wide deployment of its kind.

“Unplanned power outages are a major economic burden,” said Bob Gilligan, vice president — digital energy for GE Energy Services. “In the U.S. alone, they cost the economy over $80 billion each year. While we don’t have the technology to prevent a traffic accident or stop a tree limb from falling, we do have the technology to dramatically reduce how these events affect the flow of electricity. Now, in a matter of minutes, NSTAR’s power grid will make decisions and alter energy flow to restore power to a portion of customers almost immediately. That’s the new technology GE is offering today.”

And on the cleantech front, our data visualization teams have put their design skills to work on GE’s new “ecomagination Challenge: Powering the Grid.” Backed by $200 million in venture capital funds from GE and its partners, the goal is to find the best ideas from researchers and entrepreneurs that will help accelerate the adoption of smart grid technologies. But it can be a daunting task plowing through the more than 1,400 submissions to-date (and growing). So, as you can see in the data visualization below, the entries have been represented graphically, with the circles representing clickable ideas.

Pathfinders: The animation above shows how the new Bradley flight path can maximize use of the runway when there’s low cloud cover. Since RNP procedures can provide different benefits, depending on their design, GE specifically designed the Bradley approach to give pilots continuous vertical guidance when the cloud ceiling is as low as 350 feet above the ground. The previous cloud ceiling was 1,000 feet above the ground.

With about 350 flights a day, Bradley is the largest commercial airport in Connecticut and the second largest in New England next to Boston’s Logan Airport. The new RNP path will allow pilots to fly independent of aging ground-based navigation beacons that limit where the aircraft can go. As a result, airliners will be able to land on Bradley’s Runway 15 during periods of low clouds and visibility that previously would have stopped them from landing there.

In the audio interview below, GE’s Steve Fulton, a former Alaska Airlines pilot who co-founded Naverus and developed the world’s first RNP flight paths in the mid-1990s, explains the technology and what passengers should expect as the entire airspace system modernizes over the next 20 years. Says Steve: “For passengers on the airplane, the thing that will be most noticeable is the ability to have an airplane depart on time and arrive on time. So schedules will begin to mean something again.”

Dubbed a “highway in the sky,” RNP is a core component of the FAA’s NextGen airspace modernization plan. Without new RNP flight paths and other essential upgrades, FAA estimates that by 2015 the current air traffic control system — which relies on World War II-era radar and technologies — will be unable to handle the 50 percent increase in airplanes and passengers expected over the next decade. FAA’s NextGen plan is to shift to a satellite-based GPS system.

On time: Click on the image to use an interactive data visualization that shows how optimized flight paths save fuel and time versus traditional ones. As you can see, landing in Stockholm uses 68 percent less fuel.

Smooth moves: Captain Brian Will and GE’s Steve Fulton arrive at Bradley International Airport after completing the debut flight.

Digital energy: At the heart of the new project is GE’s recently unveiled Nucleus, a home energy command center. It delivers real-time energy usage consumption data to PCs and smart phones and serves as the hub of conversations taking place between smart meters and smart appliances.

According to the DOE, residential buildings account for about 21.5 percent of the nation’s primary energy consumption and carbon emissions, and about 38 percent of electricity. Of the residential buildings in existence today, about 85 percent were constructed prior to the year 2000 –– and in general, the older the building, the less stringent the applicable energy code at the time of construction. As a result, many older residences may be poorly insulated, suffer from excessive air leakage, have old and inefficient mechanical equipment and appliances, and have a high percentage of incandescent lights.

Light touch: Nucleus can be used to program each day of the week directly from a PC. The technology was unveiled in July when GE announced its “ecomagination Challenge: Powering the Grid.” Backed by $200 million in venture capital funds from GE and its partners, the goal is to find the best ideas from researchers and entrepreneurs that will help accelerate the adoption of smart grid technologies.

For the $5 million DOE project — which will focus on Phoenix, Sacramento, and San Diego — the GE team will be integrating a package of roof top solar panels, smart grid-enabled energy-efficient appliance and lighting products, and the Nucleus Home Energy Manager.

In a guest post today on GE’s Global Research blog, Dr. Rob Hammon, who directs R&D at energy consultant ConSol — which is leading the Building America team — notes that the new project builds off of the knowledge gained from a previous collaboration with GE and homebuilder Premier Homes in Sacramento. The homes, known as Premier Gardens, “demonstrated persistent energy and bill savings — 50 percent to 60 percent compared to the average of the [nearby] control community,” he writes. “It was also noted that the Premier Gardens community started sales about a month after the neighboring community and sold out about a month earlier, further demonstrating consumer interest and their possible preference for efficient, solar homes.”

Making history: The “Building America team” includes California energy consultants ConSol, Washington State University, Arizona State University, University of California at Davis, Ennovationz, Sacramento Municipalities Utilities District, San Diego Gas & Electric, Arizona Public Service, Pulte Homes, Salt River Project and Bank of America. The Nucleus history screen is shown above. It stores up to three-years’ worth of energy consumption information.

Back to school: Developing Health is a 3-year, $25 million, GE program that aims to improve access to primary care in targeted underserved communities across the U.S. The grant announced today will be used to grow enrollment in New Orleans’ school-based health centers and extend those health services to neighboring schools, family members and nearby residents. From left to right at today’s ceremony in New Orleans were Keith Singleton, Kyla Davis, Ronesha Turner and Felica Ennis — all Students at Walter J. Cohen High School.

The idea behind school-based health centers is that they can provide easy access to services for kids who frequently delay treatments or commonly seek emergency room care. With 38,000 students across Orleans Parish alone — with many not having adequate insurance — this grant has the potential to give thousands of students improved access to primary healthcare services.

As the School Health Connection team notes on their website, the health centers are basically doctor’s offices or health clinics located on a school campus and the resulting healthcare services “far exceed what is possible in the typical school nurse program and includes preventive care, comprehensive primary care including acute diagnosis and behavioral health care services.”

For example, the program cites success stories, such as helping students already diagnosed with high blood pressure or diabetes; providing mental health services and substance abuse help for teens who otherwise might not access them; and preventative care, such as the discovery during one sports physical that a 14-year-old student had a previously undiagnosed congenital heart condition.

Healthy attitude: New Orleans is the fifth city after New York, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, and Louisville to be awarded donations in the program. At today’s ceremony, from left to right, were: State Representative Walt Leger; State Senator Karen Carter-Peterson; Joe Kimbrell, CEO, LPHI; U.S. Congressman Joseph Cao; Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO, GE; Alex Hochron, Assistant Vice Principal, Walter J. Cohen High School; Mayor Mitch Landrieu, New Orleans; Susan Moore, Vice Principal, Walter J. Cohen High School; Al Jones, Principal, Walter J. Cohen High School; and Wanda Anderson-Guillaume, CAO, Recovery School District.

Later today in New Orleans, Jeff Immelt will address a Business Connect luncheon hosted by Ochsner Health System — one of GE’s longtime partners in the area and the subject of our profile yesterday. Among the points he’ll be making about the healthcare space is the need for more “community-wide education on wellness and prevention” — just like in the New Orleans Developing Health project. With Louisiana one of nine states with an obesity prevalence of more than 30 percent, Jeff’s written speech also notes that citizens need “to know more to make smart decisions” for their family’s health and “we need to ensure people get access to the information they need, and that begins with community-wide education programs.” And in the area of hospital efficiency, his written speech urges hospitals around the country to take a page from the work being done at Ochsner and install “industrial quality and process improvement practices” — and metrics to track progress — to “help hospitals ensure that they can operate as efficiently as any business.”

Road work: Ochsner Health System is also extremely active in the region working on preventative care for kids, such as with its I Can Do It! childhood obesity initiative, which includes a customized mobile fitness unit, pictured above. It travels to different at-risk communities and features equipment for strength and cardiovascular workouts, nutrition lectures, and heart-healthy cooking classes.

Ochsner’s CEO, Dr. Pat Quinlan — who in 2007 was named the No. 1 most powerful physician executive in the nation by Modern Physician magazine — just wrote a post for CNBC.com’s CEO Blog in which he talks about Ochsner’s post-Katrina experience. “When Hurricane Katrina hit, we faced a $70 million operating loss, more than $27 million in property damage, and 4,000 employees who relocated or were displaced,” he writes. “It would have been easy for us to fall victim to the storm. Instead, we tapped into a culture of resilience to not only survive Katrina, but ultimately grow from a single hospital in a struggling community to a thriving regional healthcare system.

Dr. Pat Quinlan

“Several years before the storm, we saw a significant opportunity to improve the way we ran our organization; while our priority had always been to serve our patients, we needed to start thinking more like a business if we were going to serve them effectively. Through a deep collaborative relationship with GE Healthcare, we focused on three core areas to evolve our culture: leadership, people, and process.”

Pat continues: “Working with GE, we developed a Leadership Institute where experts from Harvard, Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, and other thought-leading organizations developed content and served as instructors; the institute is constantly evolving with courses in subject areas that are relevant to various positions. General Electric helped us sharpen our focus to bring leadership and a culture of accountability to employees at all levels of the organization — ultimately helping to strengthen our operations at the front lines. In the immediate wake of Katrina, this leadership sensibility helped us fight the instinct to hunker down and instead re-engage with our community.”

Pat says that the efforts produced a people focus at Ochsner that has resulted in collaboration becoming “hardwired into our culture.” “We believe that great ideas are generated when collaboration is highest,” he writes. “We built an operating structure in which teamwork, open discussion, and sharing of best practices are encouraged, regardless of level or function. For example, we make sure that new programs and tools have buy-in from both administrative and medical staff so that both viewpoints are represented and patient needs are better served.”

“The lesson here is that when disaster hits, it isn’t just your emergency response plan that can save you — it goes far deeper than that. Our focus on leadership, people, and process that began well before the storm has led to an across-the-board improvement in cost, quality, and access that has endured ever since. Today, we’re the largest private healthcare system in the Gulf Coast Region…. As a business that faces life-and-death decisions every day, we know that some tragedies can be prevented and some simply cannot. But the steps we took to re-energize our business and prepare for the worst aren’t specific to healthcare — or to hurricanes. In the coming months, as we watch businesses emerge from this latest disaster [in the Gulf], I urge all companies to take a close look at their operations, leadership, and staff, and ask themselves how well they would fare if disaster came their way.…”
