“Bloom’s fuel-flexible platform can fill Unimicron’s needs today, with fuels that are available now, and they can transition to renewable fuels and hydrogen as those sources become more widely available,” said Tim Schweikert, Senior Managing Director, International Business Development, Bloom Energy.

Bloom’s energy platform generates electricity using a variety of fuels without relying on combustion. It can be configured to establish a microgrid operating either independently or alongside a power grid, the company says.
