Climate Change & GE s ecomagination Strategy Vijayant Singh
Climate change challenge Why an aviation issue emissions are growing Ground level partially regulated Targeted smog and ozone control: NOx, HC, Smoke, CO Emissions aloft unregulated Target GHG reductions: CO2: contributes 67% of GHG NOx: Good & bad, science uncertain H2O: Contrails & Cirrus - unknown Aviation GHG growth ~100% over last 15 yrs 100-200% in next 20 yrs GHG Sector contribution* Aviation 2-5% Industry Energy Road transport Residential Other transport Other Aviation GHG contributors Negative effect Positive effect Public electricity and heat production Scientific understanding *Source: IPCC, GE Estimates 2
Majority of industry behind IATA approach Executed by IATA, airframers/ manufacturers, airports, and air traffic control providers Basis for international aviation environmental policy guidance Endorsed by AEA and others 3
A future for aviation built on sustainable growth Our approach 1. Investment in technology 2. Effective operations 3. Efficient infrastructure 4. Positive economic measures Government one part of solution Near term focus on infrastructure, incentives, standards Requires prioritized approach to accelerate progress ATM upgrades quickest impact Alternative fuels best bet for carbon neutral future Equipment upgrades for current fleet Global aviation CO 2 emissions Emissions (1 in 2007) 4 3 2 1 Technology and operational improvements without taxes Alt.

NextGen is a critical component ATM upgrades quickly provide tangible results Benefits of NextGen FMS: On time arrival/departure Tailored, trajectory based flight paths resulting in less fuel burn, emissions and noise reductions Steps to Implementation- Incentives, government standards and investment 5
Our role with alternative fuels Evaluation, qualification and certification of proposed alternate fuels Gen 2/Drop-Ins Support customers and industry to catalyze promising alternate fuel technologies Promote fuel solutions with genuine CO2 benefits (well-to-wake) Share findings on alternative fuel efforts 6
