Powering Progress: How Bloom Energy Helps Global Brands Reach Sustainability Goals

As industries face growing pressure to reduce emissions and operate more sustainably, leading companies are turning to advanced energy solutions that deliver both reliability and environmental benefits. Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cells are helping global innovators like Honda, Owens Corning, and Ferrari achieve their ambitious sustainability targets while ensuring resilient, 24/7 power for their operations.

Clean Energy That Scales With Business Needs

Bloom Energy Servers convert natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion. That means fewer emissions, higher efficiency, and virtually no air pollutants compared to traditional power generation. The modular design of Bloom’s platform allows businesses to scale their power needs, whether it’s a single facility or a global campus. By generating power directly onsite, companies gain predictable energy costs, reliable performance, and protection from grid disruptions.

Honda’s Commitment to Lowering Emissions

Honda has long been a leader in reducing its environmental footprint. As part of its pledge to cut CO₂ emissions by 30% compared to 2000 levels, the automaker turned to Bloom Energy to help power its Torrance, California campus. With five Bloom Energy Servers providing 1 megawatt of clean power—enough to cover 25% of the facility’s needs—Honda has been able to significantly reduce its emissions while improving resiliency.

The installation is expected to reduce Honda’s CO₂ emissions by approximately 16 million pounds over ten years. It also delivers critical water savings, reducing the equivalent of more than 3.25 million gallons annually compared to conventional power generation in California. For Honda, the choice wasn’t just about meeting sustainability targets; it was about proving that efficiency, cost savings, and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

Owens Corning Cuts Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Owens Corning, a global leader in building materials and composite systems, also turned to Bloom to address both sustainability and reliability challenges. At its Compton, California, roofing and asphalt plant, the company faced frequent grid outages—sometimes one or two per week—that disrupted critical manufacturing processes. 

By installing two 200-kilowatt Bloom Energy Servers, Owens Corning secured a steady source of reliable onsite power that supplies roughly 65% of the facility’s energy needs over the course of a year. The project not only improved business continuity but also supported Owens Corning’s ambitious goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020. With Bloom’s combustion-free technology, the plant significantly reduced CO₂ emissions and eliminated harmful air pollutants, proving companies don’t have to choose between resilient operations and sustainability. 

Ferrari’s Race Toward Carbon Neutrality

Across the globe in Maranello, Italy, Ferrari is also making bold strides toward a cleaner future. The iconic automaker has set a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. To support this vision, Ferrari installed Bloom Energy’s fuel cell platform, marking Bloom’s first deployment in Europe.

The system provides reliable primary power to Ferrari’s facility and demonstrates the company’s commitment to adopting innovative solutions that lower emissions and prepare for the transition to a carbon-free economy. By leveraging Bloom’s fuel-flexible technology, Ferrari is future-proofing its operations while leading Europe’s push for cleaner energy adoption.

Why Industry Leaders Choose Bloom Energy

What these global companies have in common is a dedication to sustainability without compromise. These industry leaders rely on Bloom Energy because of three key advantages:

• Resilience: Always-on, reliable power that protects against outages and grid instability.
• Sustainability: Lower emissions, cleaner air, and a pathway to carbon neutrality.
• Scalability: Modular systems that adapt to current needs and future growth.

Any business with critical operations, ambitious sustainability goals, or growing energy demands can benefit from Bloom’s proven technology.
