DEL AWARE HYDROGEN
“Our solid-oxide electrolyzer has
been named by the federal
government as the most efficient
electrolyzer in the world.”
– Aman Joshi, Chief Commercial Officer, Bloom Energy
In fact, Joshi said, there’s a very real
chance that Bloom Energy will be Dela-
ware’s fastest-growing employer in the
decade to come — all thanks to hydrogen.
Both domestically and abroad, Bloom
Energy is poised to be a technology partner
for hydrogen hubs such as the one proposed
by MACH2 and now being implemented
by First State Hydrogen. “Think of us as
an equipment provider who’s just waiting
for the project developer to get us their
contract paperwork,” Joshi said. “What we
tell our customers is, we are your perfect
partner for the decarbonization journey.” «
Bloom Energy:
Hydrogen Electrolyzers
Made in Delaware
Another important player in Delaware’s
hydrogen landscape is Bloom Energy, a
California-based company that manufac-
tures and markets solid-oxide fuel cells.
Bloom Energy also makes electrolyzers,
which are essential to the creation of green
hydrogen at facilities such as the one being
planned by First State Hydrogen.
“Our solid-oxide electrolyzer has been
named by the federal government as the
most efficient electrolyzer in the world,”
said Aman Joshi, chief commercial officer
at Bloom Energy. “That matters because
one of the biggest costs of producing
green hydrogen is going to be electricity.
You need renewable energy coming in, and
then the efficiency is in how much of that
electricity gets converted into hydrogen.
Bloom’s electrolyzers are between 30 to
40% more efficient than others.”
What’s more, both Bloom’s electrolyzers
and the fuel cells the company makes for
storing hydrogen are produced in Delaware.
Production of the electrolyzer at Bloom’s
Newark, Delaware facility began as recently
as 2023, said Tyrone Jones, director of
policy and public affairs at Bloom. “As we
ramp up our production volume, we will
continue to manufacture electrolyzers here
in Delaware.”
