GE is a TOP sponsor with ecomagination

GE announced their The Olympic Partner or TOP sponsorship in January 2005 and we have now seen the successful conclusion of the first two Games with the Winter Olympics in Torino in 2006 and most recently the Summer Olympics held in China. As part of the wider GE family, Custom Fleet has been able to participate in this sponsorship through online activities designed to provide us with an ‘insider’s view’ of the Games.

As a Worldwide Partner of the Olympic Games, GE is the exclusive provider of a wide range of innovative products and services that are integral to a successful Games. From providing power, lighting, water treatment, transportation, security and modular space solutions at Olympic venues to supplying ultrasound and MRI equipment to help doctors treat athletes (both human and equine), GE is perfectly suited to meet the major infrastructure needs required to stage the world's largest sporting event.

In line with ecomagination^SM, GE’s company-wide initiative to develop and market technologies that help customers address pressing environmental challenges, the company provided solutions for multiple clean energy projects in areas surrounding Beijing. GE supplied 120 wind turbines to the Zhangbei and Shangyi wind farms north of Beijing, which connect to the North China Grid and supply 180 megawatts of sustainable energy for Tianjin, Tangshan and Beijing. The wind farms can power nearly 400,000 average Chinese households per year, the equivalent of eliminating more than 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide in China, thus supporting the country’s goal of hosting a “green” Olympic Games.

In addition to providing two different water treatment technologies to the National Stadium, GE is providing reverse osmosis membrane technologies for the Tangshan Nanpu Waste Water Reclamation Project, located east of Beijing in the North China Plain. The plant will produce more than 93,000 tons of treated water each day, enough to fill 37 Olympic-sized swimming pools, and the water will support industrial operations of the Tangshan Nanbao Economic Development Zone. GE water filtration technologies were also put in place at the Qinghe Waste Water Recycling Project to process 80,000 cubic meters of waste water per day that was recycled for landscaping purposes during the Beijing Games.

Continuing through the London 2012 Olympic Games, GE is now focusing on the next Winter Olympics to be held in Vancouver in 2010. For more information on GE’s involvement visit GE’s Olympic website.
