About this episode
Aman Joshi from Bloom Energy discusses the company's role in behind-the-meter power generation and the advantages of natural gas fuel cells for data centers.
Bloom Energy manufactures solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems for on-site power generation projects and has been a major beneficiary of the US boom in data center development. Bloom's modular fuel cells produce power without combustion using pipeline-quality natural gas and offer developers the promise of being hydrogen-ready as that market develops. Bloom Energy Chief Commercial Officer Aman Joshi joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss how Bloom is navigating the boom in behind-the-meter power projects and why natural gas fuel cells may offer data center developers a compelling alternative to traditional gas-fired generation infrastructure.
