Bloom Energy Overview

Bloom Energy has developed an on-site primary power generation system based on solid oxide fuel cell technology that provides a cleaner and more cost effective alternative to the traditional electric grid. The Bloom Energy Server converts fuel into electricity through an efficient electro-chemical process and can run on natural gas or biogas. It provides reliable primary power for critical loads and eliminates the need for legacy equipment like diesel generators and UPS systems.

Bloom Energy: Mission Critical

Bloom Energy has developed a revolutionary on-site primary power generation system. The Bloom Energy
Server is based on a proprietary fuel cell technology that provides a more reliable, cleaner, and cost effective
alternative to the traditional electric grid. Bloom provides a transformational new data center topology that
greatly simplifies the architecture and eliminates the need for many legacy components.
