Case Study: Walmart achieves lower energy costs and cleaner power with Bloom Energy

Walmart cuts emissions with Bloom Energy, reducing CO2 by 73 million lbs. annually

Walmart sought a renewable energy solution to help achieve its goal of being supplied by 100 percent renewable energy. The challenge was to find a technology that would lower costs, contribute to sustainability targets, and provide continuous power to stores during grid outages. To meet this need, Walmart turned to vendor Bloom Energy and its Bloom Energy Servers.

Bloom Energy implemented its on-site energy servers, with the first installation at a Walmart store in California in 2009. The solution now includes over 30 installations at stores and distribution centers, which can supply up to 60-75% of a facility's electrical load. The results include an estimated annual reduction of 73 million pounds of CO2, with many servers powered by biogas for even greater carbon reductions.
