$FCEL The essential difference between BE+Chart and XOM+FCEL becomes even clearer at heavy industrial sites.
BE’s SOFC generates onsite power from natural gas and produces its own concentrated CO₂ stream. Chart can capture/process that CO₂ for sequestration or utilization. That can make Bloom’s own power generation substantially lower-carbon.
XOM+FCEL’s MCFC addresses a different problem: it can take CO₂-containing flue gas from the industrial facility itself—power plants, refineries, cement and other industrial sources—concentrate/capture the CO₂ while simultaneously generating additional electricity, heat and potentially H₂.
BE+Chart primarily captures emissions created producing Bloom’s power.
XOM+FCEL can capture the host facility’s existing emissions AND generate useful energy products in the process.
That opens a fundamentally different industrial CCUS market.
