Bloom Energy Inaugurates High Volume Electrolyzer Production Line
Bloom Energy inaugurated a high-volume electrolyzer line in Newark, Delaware, boosting its electrolyzer production capacity to 2 gigawatts. This state-of-the-art technology is designed for efficient clean hydrogen production. Partnerships with Xcel Energy and Idaho National Labs will utilize this technology for decarbonization efforts. The company aims to leverage domestic manufacturing to support the transition to a sustainable clean hydrogen market, crucial for hard-to-abate industries. Additionally, a new facility in Fremont, California, represents a $200 million investment, creating over 400 jobs.

Manufacturing capacity grows from controlled production to high volume hydrogen electrolyzer manufacturing
In the last decade, the facility has produced over 1 gigawatt (GW) of resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective fuel cell-based Energy Servers. The Bloom Electrolyzer relies on the same, commercially proven solid oxide technology platform used to produce electricity, so streamlining existing manufacturing for higher volume electrolyzer output allows Bloom to best meet the needs of the market.
The technology’s significant capabilities for hydrogen production are being demonstrated in partnerships with Xcel Energy and
“Through the domestic production of technologies like Bloom Energy’s electrolyzer, we are making strides towards American energy independence, as well as a sustainable clean hydrogen market, which is critical for decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries like fertilizer, steel, cement, and aviation,” said
The Bloom Electrolyzer supports a trajectory for hydrogen to become economically accessible by producing hydrogen up to 45 percent more efficiently than PEM and alkaline electrolyzers when combined with external heat. By operating at high temperatures, Bloom’s electrolyzer consumes 15 percent less electricity than other electrolyzer technologies when electricity is the sole input source. This allows for the Bloom Electrolyzer to be deployed across a broad variety of commercial hydrogen applications, using multiple energy sources, including intermittent renewable energy and excess heat at manufacturing facilities and businesses.
Electrolyzer production demonstrates the growing momentum for American clean energy manufacturing following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) earlier this year, which supports technologies and financial mechanisms that will make the United States’ transition to clean energy a reality.
