Bloom Installation the NSA Campus, located on Fort Meade, Maryland. Since 2013, The 1.6 MW – Fort Meade, MD Department of Defense has been gaining real world experience in
Objective understanding how fuel cells can play an important role in the DOD Department of Defense has a stated mission to reduce energy costs, decrease energy security strategy. The goal is to ensure access to reliable reliance on foreign oil, ensure energy supplies of energy and to deliver sufficient energy to meet mission security, and achieve sustainability goals. critical requirements. The fuel cells are designed to generate power Headquarters on-site, eliminating the need for critical electrical transmission from Washington, D.C. the grid. It provides reliable power, eliminates the need for costly backup infrastructure, and reduces carbon emissions at the facility.
