The race to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is the defining challenge of our generation. The world needs more clean and renewable power quickly, but the accelerated deployment of renewables comes with multiple challenges, including reliability, resiliency, scalability and land use.
At peak times, we already have more renewable power than the grid can handle in some US states and countries. Despite those periods of excess wind and solar power, because we lack an ability to store electricity for more than a few hours, dispatchable power from the combustion of fossil fuels continues to bridge gaps in supply.
At the same time, we experience more power outages than ever before. Wildfires, tornados, hurricanes and winter storms cause hundreds of outages every year, with more outages lasting days, not minutes or hours. Now, more than ever, we need power that is renewable, reliable and resilient.
Bloom Energy already provides the world's most efficient commercially available electricity generation device, the Bloom Energy Server, which delivers low CO2 and pollutant-free emissions. Today, Bloom Energy announced a new capability that efficiently delivers always-on, 100% renewable electric power with no emissions 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
