Bloom Energy makes solid oxide fuel cells that generate electricity on site, without combustion, for data centers, manufacturing and other commercial users. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Jose, California, it is listed on the NYSE. By 2025 it had installed about 1.4 GW of its Energy Servers.
Bloom's Energy Server converts natural gas, biogas or hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical process instead of burning fuel. Systems are deployed where the power is used, and the company says they can be installed in as little as three months.

Systems are built from modular 325 kW blocks and scale to hundreds of megawatts. They can be configured as microgrids that keep facilities running during grid outages.

We found no Bloom Energy entry in the Science Based Targets initiative dashboard (checked October 16, 2026). Running on natural gas still emits CO2; emissions fall when it runs on biogas or hydrogen.

Bloom is a leading on-site power option for data centers facing long grid-connection queues. Buyers should weigh its speed to power against fuel supply and emissions.
