AMCHAM, Bloom Energy team up on AI data center power
By Jang Hae-rin, The Korea Herald - The American Chamber of
Commerce in Korea said Tuesday it has signed a partnership agreement with US
clean energy firm Bloom Energy to promote distributed power solutions tailored
for artificial intelligence data centers in South Korea.
The signing ceremony was held in Seoul and attended by
senior executives from both organizations, as well as Aaron Banks, coordinator
for the Korea Investment and Travel Desk at the US Embassy in Seoul.
Headquartered in California, Bloom Energy specializes in
distributed power generation using proprietary solid oxide fuel cell
technology, which delivers high-efficiency, low-carbon electricity while
ensuring a stable, on-site power supply for industrial and commercial
customers.
Under the agreement, AmCham and Bloom Energy will expand
the deployment of SOFC-based distributed power systems in Korea, focusing on
the rising demand for reliable and sustainable energy infrastructure to support
next-generation AI data centers.
AmCham said the technology’s high efficiency and
reliability could play a meaningful role in advancing Korea’s carbon neutrality
goals, strengthening energy security and supporting the development of a
sustainable industrial ecosystem.
“Bloom Energy’s clean power solutions, optimized for
industrial applications, will be critical not only to Korea’s sustainable
growth but also to securing the energy backbone needed for the country to
emerge as one of the world’s top three AI powerhouses,” said James Kim, chair
and CEO of AMCHAM.
“AmCham remains committed to fostering a business
environment that promotes innovation, resilience and long-term prosperity,” he
added. “This partnership represents a concrete step toward deeper US-Korea
cooperation in building a more sustainable future.”
