Bloom Energy congratulates Governor Gavin Newsom and the State of California for securing up to $1.2 billion in awards by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to build and expand on clean hydrogen projects across the Golden State. “It is a historic milestone for the hydrogen industry in the United States that the DOE has selected centerpiece hydrogen hubs for development,” said Rick Beuttel, Head of Business Development at San Jose-based Bloom Energy Inc. (NYSE:BE). “Our solid oxide electrolyzer technology, with its record efficiency producing hydrogen, can play a larger and larger role in the ..read more

Manufacturing in the United States is seeing robust growth in recent years, and the clean energy sector is poised to dominate this trend. With the opening of a state-of-the-art 164,000 square foot multi-gigawatt factory in Fremont and a boost in output at its Delaware facility, Bloom Energy is at the forefront of adding up to 400 local, clean technology manufacturing jobs to its manufacturing base in 2022. Moreover, when the IRA was announced in August, it included key provisions such as the hydrogen production tax credit and tax credits for producing microgrid equipment that make producing an ..read more

Bloom Energy’s fuel cell platform is now certified to meet Conformité Européenne (CE) requirements and ship to the European Union (EU) and its growing market for fuel cells and reliable, clean energy. CE certification is a major milestone toward ensuring that Bloom Energy’s fuel cells are available to meet EU energy needs. The EU will need to scale reliable sources of renewable fuel sources over the next decade to meet the increasing demand for clean and secure energy. Fuel cells can help meet their needs. Bloom Energy’s solid oxide platform is fuel-agnostic, meaning they can pair with natural ..read more

Hydrogen is emerging as the clear choice to decarbonize industries like steel, transportation, and chemicals.  Efficiency is key to scaling hydrogen as a viable renewable energy alternative. Of the technologies that can produce green hydrogen, solid oxide electrolyzers use energy inputs more efficiently, resulting in lower costs to produce hydrogen. If you’re thinking about the benefits of hydrogen as an energy source, you’ve probably wondered at some point how expensive hydrogen is per megawatt (MW) of power. But the cost per megawatt varies depending on a variety of factors. There is a ..read more

Hydrogen is vital to a renewable energy future. It occupies a central role in the clean energy infrastructure of the future with implications for production, storage and many steps in between. Our newest collaboration with Heliogen, a renewable energy tech company, addresses an important problem by producing green hydrogen using concentrated solar power (CSP). Heliogen and Bloom Energy are bringing our shared expertise in clean energy technology to accelerate the world’s progress toward a zero-carbon future. We will accomplish this by combining Heliogen’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered S ..read more

As a company, our efforts to power a better tomorrow begin with solving the most pressing challenges today. Recently we announced plans to convert our global fleet of natural gas-based fuel cell projects to certified low-leak gas. This is a first for our industry, and we’re proud to be taking this significant first step to help transform the natural gas supply chain. Natural gas plays a large role in meeting today’s energy demands –currently representing about a third of total U.S. energy consumption. It is also the primary current fuel source of our fleet of 700 non-combustion fuel cell proje ..read more
