4 Harnessing Wind Power IN CHINA GE and Harbin Electric formed a joint venture to manufacture andsupply wind turbines to its customers in China. The new company will manufacture wind turbines for near-shore and offshore applications using direct drive technology. The JV is also expected to provide maintenance for existing wind installations in the region. IN BRAZIL GE will over 400MW of wind energy by providing and 1.6 MW wind turbines to local developers. GE s will supply and build the turbines and service them for at least two years. 4

5 Turning Waste into Energy GE s Jenbacher technology is deployed throughout the developing world turning methane into energy, from manure, landfills, and other waste products. Waste-Energy projects include those located in Mexico, Chile, Pakistan, and the Philippines among many others. 5

6 Solar R&D taking place in Emerging Markets IN CHINA As the primary source of the world s CdTe raw materials, local scientists are focused on enhancing CdTe s performance, improving material quality, and developing characterization techniques. IN INDIA The team leverages extensive modeling capabilities to improve device performance and reliability. The models built in Bangalore will help guide advanced design. 6

7 Recognizing the Scarcity of Water IN INDIA GE s membrane bioreactors are being deployed by Ramky Group for wastewater treatment & recycling. JV with Eureka Forbes to manufacture reverse osmosis membranes. IN SAUDIA ARABIA Along with the Al Tamimi Group JV, opened a $10MM Dammam facility for water treatment, providing advanced water reuse, wastewater, and process solutions locally IN ALGERIA In a JV combining public and private equity investment, GE helped open the $250MM Hamma seawater desalination plant using reverse osmosis membranes to purify up to 53 million gallons of seawater per day. 7

8 China Mainline Evolution Locomotive GE s China Mainline Evolution Locomotive has lower emissions and is more fuel-efficient than the majority of locomotives in operation in China today. GE Transportation has delivered 300 locomotive kits for use on China s mainline rail system since 2008 and will deliver another 300 in $ ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS The China Mainline Evolution Locomotive is designed to produce approximately 27 percent less nitrogen oxide (Nox) per horsepower-hour than the locomotives in China s current mainline fleet. OPERATING BENEFITS Designed to achieve approximately 76 percent greater horsepower than China s mainline fleet. This means 4,544 Evolution Locomotives could haul the same amount of freight as the 8,000 locomotives in China s current fleet. 8

9 GE Taps into Talent in Emerging Markets CTC in Shanghai, China JFWTC in Bangalore, India Brazil Expansion by 2012 $15M directed at projects in China For China by CEO to fuel future growth in both China and abroad China s first homegrown commercial aircraft was powered by a GE CF34-10A engine Along with Quishuyan Locomotive assembled 298 China Mainline Locomotives Innovations for the local market include Smart Axle Counter System for the Indian Railways Signaling System Flexible, eco-friendly polymers for submersible pump wire, replacing PVC in India MAC 400 Ultra portable ECG, including all design, dev, and manufacturing In Jan 2010, GE announced plans to expand its research network and is considering Brazil as its next location. In process of meeting with customers, industry partners, and the Brazilian government to determine projects and programs GE has operated in Brazil since 1919, with ~6000 employees locally 9
