Bloom Energy

Bloom Energy designs, manufactures and deploys solid oxide fuel cell Energy Servers - power plants that generate electricity without combustion. Founded in 2001, the company traces its technology to NASA research on a CO2-to-oxygen electrolyzer for Mars life support; the same scientific lineage informs its work in clean energy and electrolysis today. From a founding team of eight, it has grown over two decades into a global public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BE.

The Energy Server platform is engineered for the metrics that matter to industrial buyers: clean, distributed generation with near-zero emissions and system availability of up to 99.999%. More than 1,000 deployments now operate across nine countries. The customer roster reads like a register of the Fortune 100, including Walmart, Google, Equinix and Oracle, with deployments spanning data centres, retail and technology infrastructure. In 2024 Bloom signed a 1 GW agreement with American Electric Power - the largest fuel cell agreement in the world to date.

The technical work spans solid oxide fuel cells, distributed energy generation, power generation without combustion and electrolysis. The company's stated mission is to make clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone on Earth, and it describes a culture oriented toward pushing the boundaries of what is possible in clean energy, with an emphasis on sustainability and near-zero emissions. Its footprint spans the United States and eight other countries.
