Bloom Energy and Shell announced on Wednesday that they would be joining forces to decarbonize the oil giant's activities through green hydrogen.

In a press release, Bloom explains that it intends to explore with the Anglo-Dutch group innovative "large-scale" projects for producing renewable hydrogen.

The aim is to use Bloom's proprietary technology to design solid oxide electrolytic cell (SOEC) systems to produce hydrogen that could be used to power Shell's refineries.

Bloom explains that its green hydrogen can replace the 'grey' hydrogen currently produced from hydrocarbons via methane steam cracking, a method that emits high levels of carbon dioxide.

In its press release, Bloom points out that demand for its water-based electrolysis equipment, manufactured in California and Delaware, is growing rapidly with the decarbonization of the economy.

Bloom estimates that it is now the world's leading group in terms of electrolysis manufacturing capacity for hydrogen production.
