Changing the Game in Power Generation As a part of GE Energy's ecomagination portfolio, the LMS100 offers 100MW of electricity at 44% thermal efficiency with a wide range of operating flexibility for peaking, mid-range and base-load operation with lower start-up emissions and 10-minute starts. Better efficiency means less fuel burned per megawatt generated and less CO2 emissions. Based on an average peaking season of 2,184 hours, the LMS100 reduces CO2 emissions by more than 30,000 tons when compared to a typical simple-cycle 100MW gas turbine plant. That is equivalent to the CO2 emissions created by more than 5,000 passenger cars in the U.S. each year. This same CO2 reduction is equal to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by approximately 7,400 acres of forest.
