Bloom Energy

Bloom Energy designs and deploys solid oxide fuel cell systems, marketed as Energy Servers, which generate electricity through electrochemical reactions rather than combustion. The company was founded in 2001 and now trades publicly on the NYSE under the ticker BE. Its platform is positioned for distributed power generation, with the company stating availability of up to 99.999% and near-zero emissions.

The company's engineering work spans solid oxide fuel cells, electrochemical power generation and CO2-to-oxygen electrolysis, a technology derived from research for NASA Mars life support. Beyond fuel cells, Bloom Energy is active in distributed energy and clean power for enterprise and AI data centre customers. Its customer base includes Fortune 100 firms such as Walmart, Google, Equinix and Oracle.

Bloom Energy reports deployments at more than 1,000 locations across nine countries. In 2024 it signed a 1 GW agreement with American Electric Power, described as its largest fuel cell agreement to date. The firm began with eight employees and has grown over more than two decades into a company with a global footprint; its stated mission is to make clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone on Earth.
