Introducing Bloom Energy Bloom Energy delivers a clean, cost effective, and highly reliable “on-site” energy generation solution for stationary applications Total global electricity market is >$1 trillion per year, and there are over 2 billion people in the world who currently have no access to power Bloom Energy’s solution leverages Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technology; first pioneered for NASA Management team combines fuel cell expertise, semiconductor process and volume manufacturing experience, and business/startup know-how. Top tier investors include Kleiner Perkins and NEA; Board includes John Doerr, Vinod Khosla Confidential

Traditional Distributed Generation Technologies Diesel/Gas Genset Solar / Photovoltaic Proven Technology But… Dirty, Noisy, Inefficient Renewable, Clean and Quiet, But… Undependable, Expensive Microturbine Wind Turbine Little Bit Cleaner But… Noisy, Inefficient Renewable and Clean But… Undependable, Noisy, Expensive Today there exists a number of distributed generation technologies, each with their own sets of pros and cons Most common is the diesel genset- Pro– economics, proven Con- dirty, noisy Microturbines a newer technology- some improvements upon diesel but not far enough Solar- and Wind promises a “free source of energy” but is still quite expensive and “un-controllable” We are looking for the combination of Clean, Dependable, and Affordable… what about fuel cells? What’s Been Missing? Clean AND Reliable AND Affordable Confidential
