(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Telecommunications giant AT&T (http://www.att.com/) announced on Thursday that Bloom Energy (http://www.bloomenergy.com/) will install Bloom Energy Servers, or Bloom Boxes, at 11 AT&T sites in California, including some of the company's data centers.
According to the press release, AT&T is the first telecommunications service provider to use Bloom Energy Servers to help power their operations.
Using solid oxide fuel cell technology, Bloom Boxes provides 7.5 MW of clean, reliable, affordable onsite power that reduces CO2 emissions by about 50 percent compared to the grid and nearly eliminates all SOx, NOx, and other harmful smog forming particulate emissions.
"AT&T is committed to finding more sustainable ways to power our business operations as part of our efforts to incorporate alternative and renewable energy sources into our energy portfolio," said John Schinter, director of energy, AT&T. "Bloom Energy provided us with a solution that was not only cost comparable but also allows us to minimize environmental impact."
Once fully operational these Bloom Boxes are expected to produce over 62 million kWh of energy annually.
The Bloom Energy installations will be deployed at 11 AT&T sites in California including Corona, Fontana, Hayward, Pasadena, Redwood City, Rialto, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Jose, and San Ramon.
The company will begin installing the Bloom Energy Servers later this year, and will be fully operational by mid 2012.
Bloom Boxes contain stacked fuel cells and will convert air and natural gas into electricity through a clean electrochemical process.
The high efficiency of the Boxes will help AT&T avoid about 250 million pounds of CO2 emissions.
AT&T recently released its 2010 Sustainability Report highlighting the company's energy commitments, which include reaching nearly 3 million annual kWh of solar energy production in 2010 and contracting for an additional 19 solar deployments in 2011.
