The California Fuel Cell Partnership is a unique collaborative of auto manufacturers, fossil fuel companies, fuel cell technology companies and government agencies. The members collaborate on activities that advance the technology, such as first responder training, community outreach and agreeing on protocols while standards are being developed.
A fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device. Fuel cells differ from batteries in that they are designed for continuous replenishment of the reactants consumed. This is a partial list of companies currently producing commercially available fuel cell systems for use in residential, commercial, or industrial settings.
Formic acid-based fuel cells represent a promising energy supply system in terms of high volumetric energy density, theoretical energy efficiency, and theoretical open-circuit voltage. They are also able to overcome certain problems inherent to traditional hydrogen (H 2 ) feed fuel cells such as safe handling, storage, and H 2 transportation.
Bloom Energy is an American public company headquartered in San Jose, California.It manufactures and markets solid oxide fuel cells that produce electricity on-site. The company was founded in 2001 and came out of stealth mode in 2010.
A deployment of Bloom Energy Servers outside eBay headquarters. The Bloom Energy Server or Bloom Box is a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power generator made by Bloom Energy, of Sunnyvale, California, that takes a variety of input fuels, including liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons [1] produced from biological sources, to produce electricity at or near the site where it will be used.
The cell produces energy by combining carbon and oxygen, which releases carbon dioxide as a by-product. [3] It is also called coal fuel cells (CFCs), carbon-air fuel cells (CAFCs), direct carbon/coal fuel cells (DCFCs), and DC-SOFC. The total reaction of the cell is C + O 2 → CO 2. The process in half cell notation: Anode: C + 2O 2− → CO ...
In November 2024, Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) made a big announcement: It will be supplying a roughly 80-megawatt fuel cell project in South Korea. The project, assuming all goes as planned, will be ...
This fuel could be used as a substitute for diesel fuel due to its ability to self ignite under high pressure and temperature. It is already being used in some areas for heating and energy generation. It is nontoxic, but must be stored under pressure. [16] Larger hydrocarbons [17] and ethanol [18] can also be produced from carbon dioxide and ...
