Carbon Capture Technology from Bloom Energy Can Fight Climate Change

The climate crisis isn't waiting, so we can't delay in finding cleaner energy solutions. As industries scramble to meet net-zero goals, one type of technology is rising to the top as a must-have solution for decarbonization: carbon capture. But not all carbon capture is created equal. Bloom Energy is proving that its solid oxide fuel cell technology is uniquely equipped to lead the charge.

What Is Carbon Capture and Why Does It Matter?

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a critical tool for slashing global carbon emissions. It works by capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources before they're released into the atmosphere and permanently storing them safely underground. The result? Drastically reduced emissions from some of the most polluting sectors—like power generation, cement manufacturing, and chemical production.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) says carbon capture must contribute about 15% of total emissions reductions needed to hit net-zero by 2050.

At Bloom Energy, we've taken this mission seriously by engineering a clean energy platform that's ready for the carbon capture future—and in many ways, already delivering it.

The Bloom Energy Advantage: Fuel Cells Without Combustion

Bloom's Energy Server uses solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) to generate electricity through an electrochemical process. That means no combustion, no smoke, and no traditional pollutants like nitrogen oxides or sulfur oxides, or particulate matter. This cleaner process not only benefits the environment but also simplifies the carbon capture system.

Here's what that looks like in practice: when paired with carbon capture, Bloom's Energy Servers can help customers dramatically reduce or even remove their net carbon emissions. And when Bloom Energy combines its SOFC platform with fuels like biogas, it can unlock the ability to create negative-carbon power—a transformative step for businesses looking to exceed sustainability targets.

Ready for Net Zero, Today and Tomorrow

Around the world, major utilities are committing to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. In fact, over 90 countries have committed to a net-zero goal. But promises are only as good as the tools behind them. The reality is that energy demand continues to rise—driven by everything from industrial production to AI-powered data centers—while existing power infrastructure still depends heavily on fossil fuels.

Bloom's solution bridges the gap between how much power its existing infrastructure can provide and how much demand is growing. Its energy systems deliver clean, always-on power, with the added benefit of being carbon-capture ready. Bloom's technology is also future-proof. As low- and zero-carbon fuels like green hydrogen become more accessible, Bloom's platform can adapt.

Partnerships That Push Innovation Further

In February 2025, Bloom Energy announced a groundbreaking partnership with Chart Industries, a global leader in energy and industrial gas solutions. Together, we're creating a scalable, high-efficiency carbon capture solution that combines Bloom's ultra-pure CO₂ exhaust stream with Chart's carbon capture expertise.

The result is a low-cost, near-zero-carbon power option for data centers, manufacturers, and other energy-intensive facilities. It's another example of how Bloom is making clean power more accessible—and more powerful—than ever.

The Future of Carbon Capture Starts Here

Carbon capture technology is no longer a distant, theoretical solution. It's here, it's necessary, and Bloom Energy is ready to deploy it at scale. With solid oxide fuel cells at the core of its approach, Bloom offers the flexibility, efficiency, and carbon performance that modern businesses demand. Bloom's carbon capture-ready platform is the future-proof choice. Let's build a cleaner tomorrow, starting today.
