Episode notes
Waste Heat Turns Into Cooling Savings
- Bloom's exhaust heat can drive absorption chillers to drastically cut cooling power needs.
- That lowers cooling overhead from ~25–30% down to roughly 5–10%, improving total energy economics.
Evaluate All-In Cost, Not Just Unit Price
- Don't judge Bloom by headline unit cost; calculate all-in economics including cooling and infrastructure savings.
- Consider net CapEx and operational savings to see Bloom can be 10–20% cheaper overall than turbines.
Fuel Cells Improve; Turbines Stagnate
- Bloom's technology follows an improvement cycle unlike static gas turbines.
- Continued efficiency gains can compound its competitiveness over time.
