Everywhere you look, companies are making big promises about cutting their carbon emissions. But with climate deadlines fast approaching, businesses need more than just good intentions, they need energy solutions that can actually deliver results. That’s where Bloom Energy comes in.
Bloom is helping businesses move beyond carbon offsets and into real, measurable decarbonization. Its Energy Servers, powered by solid oxide fuel cells, generate clean, reliable electricity onsite, without combustion. That means fewer emissions, better efficiency, and more control over your energy future. Whether you’re aiming for net-zero emissions or targeting zero-carbon operations, Bloom’s technology can make it happen.
What Does Net-Zero Really Mean?
Net-zero emissions means balancing the amount of greenhouse gases you release into the atmosphere with the amount you take out. For businesses, this usually involves cutting emissions as much as possible and offsetting what’s left through technologies like carbon capture. It’s a big goal, and getting there takes real changes in energy generation and consumption.
Bloom Energy’s systems are designed for exactly this kind of transformation. Its solid oxide fuel cells convert natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical process instead of burning fuel. That means you get the power you need with drastically fewer emissions, or even zero emissions if green hydrogen is used to power the electrochemical reaction.
Skip the Grid. Cut the Carbon.
One of the biggest roadblocks to decarbonization is our reliance on the traditional grid. Grid power often comes from fossil-fuel plants, and even green grid energy can be unreliable and transmission-intensive. Bloom’s onsite energy servers help businesses reduce their dependence on carbon-heavy infrastructure while dramatically improving efficiency and reliability.
In fact, the high-efficiency design of Bloom’s fuel cells means they generate more electricity per unit of fuel than traditional power plants. Additionally, with fewer transmission losses and more consistent performance, customers see major gains in both sustainability and resilience.
The Power of Heat Capture
Another game-changer is heat capture. Most traditional power systems waste a massive amount of heat during electricity generation. However, Bloom’s Energy Servers can be configured to capture and reuse that excess heat. This setup achieves total system efficiencies of over 90%. That’s one of the highest levels of combined heat and power performance in the market.
And it’s scalable, from a few hundred kilowatts to multi-megawatt systems, meaning you can customize your solution to meet the unique needs of your facility or operation.
Go Beyond Net-Zero with Green Hydrogen
Want to get closer to zero-carbon? Bloom also offers the Bloom Hydrogen Electrolyzer, a solid oxide electrolyzer that can use renewable electricity and heat to produce green hydrogen more efficiently than traditional systems. When powered by solar or wind, the result is truly zero-carbon hydrogen. This powerful energy carrier can help decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors like transportation, steel, and heavy industry.
Bloom’s electrolyzer has already been installed at places like NASA’s Ames Research Center in California, proving that it’s ready for real-world use at scale.
A Leader in Carbon Capture, Too
For industries with unavoidable emissions, carbon capture is another tool in the net-zero toolbox. Bloom is helping to advance this critical technology as well. Its solid oxide fuel cells, when paired with carbon capture systems, can produce high-purity CO₂ streams that are easier and more cost-effective to store. Through partnerships like a collaboration with Chart Industries, the company is developing near-zero carbon power solutions that don’t sacrifice performance or reliability.
A Smarter Energy Strategy Starts Here
Getting to net-zero or zero-carbon is good for the planet and good for business, because customers, investors, and regulators are paying attention. Choosing Bloom Energy means choosing a solution that’s proven, practical, and powerful.
From fuel cell microgrids to green hydrogen to carbon capture technology, Bloom is here to help businesses take meaningful steps toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
