The GE Brief: September 9, 2022
PET scans, often used to detect diseases like cancer and help determine the best course of treatment, rely on radioactive compounds that let them see what’s going on inside cells. But the radioactive components of these compounds, which are created in a machine called a cyclotron, have short half-lives, sometimes decaying in minutes. That’s why GE Healthcare has been installing cyclotrons closer to the places where they’re needed, thus broadening access to quality care. The 500th such particle accelerator was installed recently in ?rebro, Sweden. Read about it?here .?
A pair of GE 9HA.02 gas turbines that can produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of 3 million Thai homes have started commercial operation at the Bang Pakong combined-cycle power plant, near Bangkok, GE and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand announced today. There is growing interest in using hydrogen fuel to reduce carbon emissions from power generation, and these turbines have the ability to eventually run on a mix of 50% hydrogen blended with natural gas. The project supports Thailand’s goals of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065.?Find out?more .

?—?Quote of the Day?—
“Advancements in hydrogen-based power generation and carbon-capture-and-sequestration solutions enable gas turbines to be a destination technology and not just a bridging short-term investment.”
