With California’s governor and a former Secretary of State on hand, Bloom Energy held its official launch. The clean-energy startup revealed some of its plans for making fuel-cell technology affordable enough for people to buy for their homes.
With roots in NASA’s Mars program, here’s what Bloom Energy says about its solid oxide fuel technology.
Derived from a common sand-like powder, and leveraging breakthrough advances in materials science, our technology is able to produce clean, reliable, affordable power,… practically anywhere,… from a wide range of renewable or traditional fuels.
The initial rollout is underway at big companies like eBay, Google and Bank of America but the plan is to get these generators to power homes in the near future.
I would definitely want to purchase one (or two) of these if the price were reasonable and the technology will do as it claims.
