GE Vernova Brings 26 GW Online, Cuts Carbon Intensity 31%, Advances SMR and CCS
GEV•GE Vernova added 26 GW of new power generation capacity in 2025—47% in developing economies—and cut equipment carbon intensity 31% below the global grid average. It reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 64% since 2019 and advanced small modular reactors, Teesside CCS construction, and direct air capture pilots.
1. 2025 Sustainability Report Overview
GE Vernova reported adding 26 GW of new power generation capacity in 2025, achieving equipment carbon intensity 31% below the global grid average. The company also cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 64% since 2019 as part of its four-pillar sustainability strategy.
2. Breakthrough Technology Advancements
In 2025 the company secured Canada’s first license to construct a small modular reactor at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site, began building the Net Zero Teesside gas plant with CCS, and commissioned a 10-ton-per-year direct air capture pilot in New York. It also validated ammonia and hydrogen fuel combustion systems for F-, B-, and E-class turbines, demonstrating 100% hydrogen operation with under 25 ppm NOx.
3. Global Deployment and Training
Forty-seven percent of the new 26 GW capacity was deployed in developing and emerging economies, and 68 GW of new power transformers were energized worldwide. The GE Vernova Foundation reached about 10,700 learners through workforce development programs, targeting 30,000 learners by 2030.
