After 8 years in stealth mode, Bloom Energy has finally revealed all about its Bloom Box fuel cell device (Aka the Bloom Energy Server). We already learned a lot from Sunday's 60 Minutes segment on the device, and our interview with eBay executive Amy Szoczlas Cole revealed even more. Here's what we learned from today's press conference at eBay headquarters.
The Bloom Energy fuel cell is essentially a flat piece of sand made from a process dubbed "Powder to Power." The cell can run on a variety of fuels, including traditional fuel, natural gas, biomass gas, landfill gas, and ethanol--all without the need to use complex chemical plants for processing. A single cell-filled Bloom Box provides 100 kW of power and has a 3 to 5 year payback period with fixed costs for 10 years. Any piece of the device that isn't working can be swapped out without bringing down the whole thing.
