Bloom Energy (formerly known as Ion America) is developing solid oxide regenerative fuel cells (SORFC) - renewable electrical energy generated from hydrogen and the oxygen in ambient air. The company has deveped the Bloom Box, a domestic fuel cell system that per the company will be simple and cheap to run when it's available in the next 10 years. Within this timeframe, Bloom Energy expects that the Bloom Box will be available for less than $3000.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;The company's founders believe the Bloom box, a brick-sized device, could power at least one home and the company suggests that Bloom Boxes could eventually replace the electricity grid altogether. Technologically, the Bloom Box's catalytic plates consist of a stack of ceramic plates injected with an unidentified metal alloy. The company believes that versus other similar cells that require expensive metals such as platinum, this is a competitive and technological advantage.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;Per Bloom Energy, the Bloom Box can run on any fuel including fossil fuels to biomass which are combined with oxygen to create electricity, with carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. &amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;As of early 2010, the company offers larger-scale versions of the Bloom Box - costing upwards of $700,000 - with customers such as eBay and Google who use the Bloom Boxes in their company datacenters. Per Bloom Energy, their boxes are already saving these customers hundreds of thousands of dollars. << Less
