Adobe Powers Headquarters with Bloom Energy Fuel Cells

Adobe and Bloom Energy corporation announced that the installation of the largest commercial Bloom Energy fuel cell is complete. It's been designed to supply approximately one-third of the electricity required by Adobe’s downtown San Jose headquarters.

A total of 12 Bloom Energy Servers – also known as Bloom boxes – have been installed on the 5th floor of Adobe’s West Tower at the company’s headquarters campus, which is composed of three high-rise towers and a parking structure. Each server is the size of an average parking space and contains thousands of Bloom fuel cells – flat, solid ceramic squares made from a sand-like powder – which will convert air and biogas into electricity via a clean electrochemical process, producing zero net carbon emissions.

Typically, one server generates enough power to meet the needs of approximately 100 average U.S. homes or one small office building.
