Conagra Brands, Inc.,one of North America’s leading branded food companies and Bloom Energy, a global leader in power solutions, today announced they will collaborate to utilize Bloom’s fuel cell technology at Conagra’s Troy and Archbold, Ohio production facilities. The 15-year PPA (power purchase agreement) will deploy approximately six megawatts and provide combustion-free electricity generation, supplying approximately 70% to 75% of the electricity needs at the Troy and Archbold facilities, while also projecting a 19% decrease in their greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative aligns with Conagra’s 2030 science-based greenhouse gas reduction targets1, which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative, a leading corporate climate effort driving the transition to a zero-carbon economy.
Bloom’s fuel cells generate resilient, sustainable and predictable electricity without combustion, with “always-on” power reliability. Bloom’s combustion-free fuel cells avoid the release of pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and other particulate matter typically associated with combustion-based power generation methods.
