GE 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 17
Scaling Platforms
Whether generating
electricity from landfill gases
or methane produced from
manure, GE’s Jenbacher
engine can provide an
efficient and cost-effective
way to generate energy from
waste. Since 2003, GE has
grown Jenbacher revenue by
four times and profitability
by 40 times.
Better Care
We’re expanding into
the next realm of diagnostic
technology by acquiring
Clarient, whose laboratory
tests help pathologists
identify complex cancers.
The technology details
molecular information
about specific cancers,
so that doctors can tailor
precise treatments.
World-Record Rays
With solar energy poised
as the next big bet in
renewables, GE is partnering
with PrimeStar Solar, Inc.
to commercially develop a
cadmium telluride thin
film product. The team just
achieved a world record
for efficiency and plans to
scale up the technology for
commercial production.
Healthcare at Home
Together with Intel, we’re
developing new technology-
based, at-home healthcare
solutions for the two billion
people who will soon be over
age 60. The goal is to help
older people, and those with
chronic conditions, live
independently and with dignity.
By leveraging our core strengths and moving into adjacent markets,
GE has turned fledgling businesses into industry leaders fueling
future growth. Our Oil & Gas organization, for example, has grown from
a $2 billion business to about a $10 billion business since 2000.
