Case Study: University of San Diego reduces emissions and energy costs with Bloom Energy Servers

University of San Diego cuts emissions 20% with Bloom Energy

The University of San Diego (USD) sought innovative solutions to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and lower its high electricity costs as part of its Climate Action Plan. To address this challenge, USD partnered with Bloom Energy to install Bloom Energy Servers, a solid oxide fuel cell technology.

Bloom Energy implemented a 1 MW system that generates cleaner, more predictable power through an electrochemical process. This solution reduced USD's carbon emissions by approximately 20% compared to the grid and by 1.4 million pounds annually. The project also provided significant financial benefits, generating an estimated $3 million in energy savings over 15 years for the university.
