Hydrogen Fuel Cells for a Decarbonized Future

Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cell technology plays a critical role in advancing the hydrogen economy to generate electricity using hydrogen fuel to create a greener future.

The Role of Hydrogen Fuel Cells in Reaching Decarbonization Goals

Dozens of countries have committed to net-zero emissions goals in the coming decades. Green hydrogen energy is required to reach these deep decarbonization sustainability goals to produce clean energy.

The hydrogen economy is advancing across numerous sectors, including power generation, transportation, industrial energy, building heat and power and feedstock. Bloom Energy’s solid oxide hydrogen fuel cell technology is uniquely positioned to accelerate both the production and usage of hydrogen.

The Environmental Impacts of Hydrogen Fuel Cells

Hydrogen-ready fuel cells offer a solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Unlike traditional combustion engines, hydrogen fuel cells produce electricity through an electrochemical process that combines hydrogen and oxygen, with water and heat as the only byproducts. This process significantly reduces air pollutants, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which contribute to global warming and air quality issues.

Hydrogen can be produced from various renewable sources, such as wind, solar and biomass, further minimizing the environmental footprint. By adopting hydrogen fuel cell technology, industries can move towards a cleaner, more sustainable future, mitigating the adverse effects of climate change and promoting energy diversity.
