Fuel cell technology

The Bloom Energy Server is a stationary, modular power generation system based on solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stacks that converts chemical energy from fuels such as natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen directly into electricity through an electrochemical process, without combustion, to provide always‑on, highly efficient power for commercial and industrial customers.[6][8]

The Bloom Electrolyzer is a high‑temperature solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) system designed to produce hydrogen by splitting steam into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity, delivering higher hydrogen output per megawatt than conventional low‑temperature PEM or alkaline electrolyzers and targeting large‑scale clean hydrogen applications.[9]

A system that uses solid oxide fuel cells to generate power from hydrogen without combustion, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and increase reliability.

A solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) system that generates green hydrogen from renewable power. The technology is manufactured in Delaware and California and is positioned as efficient, reliable, proven, and low-cost.
