JERA Americas

Art or engineering? Did you know origami is both? On this #NationalArtDay, as a nod to our parent company's #Japanese roots, we celebrate the beautiful ancient art of Japanese paper folding, which has also been used in #engineering to inspire and model folding mechanisms in airbags, convertible car roofs, medical devices, even toothpaste tubes. If you visited our #JERA booth during #GasTech2024, you may have seen one of our origami demonstrations and learned how to craft a perfect square into an animal. What origami designs can you make? 🎉✂️ #Origami #CulturalHeritage #japan #JERAAmericas #innovation

Did you know our #JERA parent company’s #HQ sits atop Takashimaya (www.takashimaya-global.com) one of Japan's most prominent department stores? On this #DepartmentStoreDay, we thought we’d share a famous place to shop in case you're ever in #Tokyo. And because JERA Americas was also a partner with @DressForSuccessHouston this year, we thought we’d also encourage you to go shopping and help support a good cause! #innovation #JERAAmericas #JAM #womeninenergy #dressforsuccess

Join us as we recognize World Mental Health Day and this year’s focus on mental health in the workplace. At JERA Americas, we are committed to our team members’ total wellbeing—physical, social, and mental. We know when our colleagues feel well, they can be their best at home, at work, and in our community. Our Thrive Wellbeing program provides excellent benefits, such as programs, resources, and support for our colleagues to positively impact their overall wellness.    Some of our other wellbeing benefits include a confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which we encourage our colleagues and their families to utilize to overcome challenges when they arise. Recognizing the value of giving back to our community and the positive impact volunteerism can have on our mental health, we offer two company-organized volunteer days annually, plus two paid days off to volunteer at nonprofits of their choice.   These are just a few of the ways we champion mental health alongside physical health and foster a workplace where everyone can thrive.   #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthAwareness #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceWellbeing #MentalHealthAtWork #JAM #jeraamericas

It was an honor to host Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. for a tour and overview of our Linden Cogen power plant in Linden #NewJersey. We appreciated the Congressman’s engagement on the importance of providing reliable power while continuing to transition to a low-carbon future.   Our Linden Cogen plant powers the global economy, providing nearly 10% of the electricity in New York City and critical power into the PJM market. Linden has successfully implemented a hydrogen co-firing project on one of the plant’s six turbines, burning off-gas from the adjacent refinery, which lowers CO2 emissions by up to 10% annually on that turbine. With the hydrogen co-firing technology that can burn up to 40% hydrogen, JERA Americas is looking forward to procuring more clean hydrogen to continue to drive down emissions while ensuring reliable power.    Thank you again, Congressman, for joining us at the plant. We look forward to continuing the conversation.   #reliablepower #JERAAmericas #power #energy #technology #hydrogen #climate #electricity

JERA Americas’ CEO, Steve O’Rourke — a #US #Navy #veteran — joined the Atlantic Council Veterans Advanced Energy Summit in Washington, D.C. this afternoon where he spoke on the many contributions veterans have made to the global energy sector. Every day, #veterans help build a more secure and clean energy system in the #UnitedStates and help strengthen our national security, and we’re pleased to see our CEO represent these themes at the Summit. We're proud to sponsor the #VetsEnergySummit, a leading forum that draws policy makers, industry leaders and military officials who discuss the intersections of energy, defense and national security. #USA #Vets #energy #innovation #business #DC #VAES
