Bloom Energy, a US solid oxide fuel cell technology company, has struck a new collaboration with Singapore’s Sembcorp Industries Ltd at the 2024 Clean Economy Investor Forum, organised under the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF).
The new partnership will explore Sembcorp’s use of Bloom’s proprietary solid oxide fuel cell technology alongside third-party carbon capture technologies to generate reliable, low-carbon electricity for Singapore’s evolving energy requirements.
“The Bloom-Sembcorp collaboration will have lasting impacts on multiple levels,” said KR Sridhar, Bloom Energy’s Founder, Chairman & CEO.
“Singapore’s established position as a high-tech manufacturing hub will be further cemented as Bloom and Sembcorp provide the low-carbon electricity from the high-tech solid oxide fuel cells coupled with proven carbon capture technologies. The use of carbon capture technology will support Singapore’s progress towards achieving its net-zero emissions target by 2050. We believe this will serve as a model for the broader region, and the world.”
Chiap Khiong Koh, CEO, Singapore & Southeast Asia at Sembcorp, added: “Through the collaboration with Bloom Energy, Sembcorp aims to support our customers with low-carbon energy through the deployment of solid oxide energy systems. The demand for green energy is expected to have robust growth, especially in the area of data centers.”
The collaboration aligns with Singapore’s Green Data Centre Roadmap, aiming to develop sustainable data centers with increased use of green energy.
Bloom’s fuel cell Energy Server, when integrated with carbon capture, will provide low-carbon power to data centers and potentially deliver green energy using low-carbon feedstock in the future. The Energy Servers also have the potential to operate alongside utility power, easing grid constraints.
