- Partnership Will Pave the Way for a Cost-Effective Path to
Decarbonization Using Natural Gas and Sequestration
- Offers Scalable, Near-Zero Approach That Uses Existing Fuel
Infrastructure to Meet Today’s Urgent Energy Needs
Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE), a global leader in fuel cell
electricity generation, and Chart Industries, Inc. (NYSE: GTLS)
(“Chart”), a global leader in energy and industrial gas solutions,
announced today a carbon capture partnership that will use natural
gas and fuel cells to generate near zero-carbon, always-on power.
In announcing this partnership, the companies aim to offer a
solution to customers, like data centers and manufacturers, who are
seeking power solutions that can be deployed rapidly without
compromising reliability or emission goals.

As part of the partnership, Chart will use its carbon capture
know how to process Bloom’s high-purity carbon dioxide (CO2)
exhaust stream into outputs that are ready for utilization or
sequestration. The CO2 utilization market serves as an important
near-term term bridge to carbon sequestration in locations, where
sequestration infrastructure is not available or permitted.
According to Morgan Stanley, more than 500 million tonnes per annum
(MTPA) of carbon storage capacity is expected to come online within
the next five years. As sequestration capabilities grow in the U.S.
and globally, CO2 utilization provides an immediate pathway to
repurpose captured carbon while supporting long-term
decarbonization efforts.
Efficient carbon capture depends on the purity of CO₂ in the
exhaust stream, which varies widely across power generation
technologies. Conventional technologies that generate electricity
from natural gas through combustion—such as gas turbines and
reciprocating engines—produce exhaust streams with approximately 5%
CO₂. Capturing such low-concentration emissions remains technically
complex and costly. In contrast, Bloom’s proprietary
high-temperature fuel cell technology converts natural gas without
combustion, yielding a CO₂-rich stream that has 15 times lower mass
flow and ten times the CO2 concentration, making the capture
process more efficient and less costly.
“Our partnership with Chart aims to demonstrate that
cost-effective, onsite baseload power from natural gas with carbon
capture is feasible at scale,” said KR Sridhar, Founder, Chairman,
and CEO at Bloom Energy. “Bloom fuel cells generate electricity
without combustion, producing a concentrated CO₂ stream that lowers
extraction costs, making carbon capture more affordable and
efficient. For energy-intensive industries like data centers and
large manufacturers, this will provide a path to reliable, scalable
power while significantly reducing carbon emissions. I am excited
about the opportunities this partnership can unlock and the
positive impact for our planet.”
“Chart is a global leader in carbon capture,” said Chart
Industries CEO Jill Evanko. “We are excited to bring this expertise
to Bloom and their unique platform which is capable of not just
producing reliable power but also a concentrated CO2 stream.
Working with a market leader in solid oxide fuel cells, we see
exciting opportunities for our partnership in both sequestration
and utilization markets. We are already working on projects where
the captured CO2 will be utilized in the food and beverage
industry.”
