Bloom Energy ($BE) will make the fuel cells for a planned 702-megawatt power project serving Google’s first data center in Wyoming. Google, part of Alphabet ($GOOGL), announced a $17 billion investment in the state and said it will cover the infrastructure costs directly tied to its growth. Google contracted with American Electric Power ($AEP) for the fuel cell installation. Bloom will manufacture the equipment in the United States. The cells will turn natural gas into electricity through an electrochemical reaction, and the project is designed to capture most of the carbon emissions that process produces. Tallgrass Energy plans to store the captured carbon underground at its Eastern Wyoming Sequestration Hub. Google and its partners are separately studying whether they can add carbon capture to gas turbines that Tallgrass operates. For residents around Cheyenne, one practical question is who pays to power and cool the facility. Google says it will pay for all the electricity it uses. It also plans to cool the data center with air to limit demand on local water supplies. For Bloom, the agreement puts its equipment at the center of what Google describes as the largest planned fuel cell development of its kind. For Laramie County and its school district, Google estimates the development could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in local property taxes.
