Bloom Energy Kicks-off Sale of Hydrogen-Powered Fuel Cells

Bloom Energy announced the commercial availability of its Hydrogen Energy Servers — 100 percent hydrogen-powered fuel cells that deliver on-site, 24/7, zero-carbon electricity — all in a simple, modular, and flexible design.

Orders are being accepted with commercial shipments expected to begin in 2022.

As the hydrogen economy grows, the need for hydrogen for energy storage and power generation will accelerate. For power generation, as production of hydrogen becomes ubiquitous, Bloom Energy’s Hydrogen Energy Servers will be another option in moving to net zero emissions.

“Bloom Energy has a complementary suite of solutions and strong partner ecosystem supporting both ends of the hydrogen economy — clean hydrogen production and efficient hydrogen utilization,” said Deia Bayoumi, vice president of product management, Bloom Energy. “With these offerings and collaborative solutions, our technology can be applied for today’s needs and in the future as the hydrogen economy becomes more robust.”

By pairing renewables with the Bloom Electrolyzer, curtailment can be avoided; hydrogen can be produced at scale, compressed and stored for long duration during periods of excess renewable production.

“Our technology is distinctively suited to help hydrogen adopters thrive in the hydrogen economy,” said Venkat Venkataraman, executive vice president and chief technology officer, Bloom Energy.

“Bloom Energy’s hydrogen-powered fuel cells are built on the company’s solid-oxide platform that has higher efficiencies compared to other fuel cell technologies, generating more electricity from less hydrogen, and provides reliable power helping organizations reach to meet their zero-carbon objectives", he added.
