Introducing Bloom Energy:

Confidential 1 Introducing Bloom Energy Bloom Energy delivers a clean, cost effective, and highly reliable “on-site” energy generation solution for stationary applications Total global electricity market is >$1 trillion per year , and there are over 2 billion people in the world who currently have no access to power Bloom Energy’s solution leverages Solid Oxide Fuel Cell technology; first pioneered for NASA Management team combines fuel cell expertise, semiconductor process and volume manufacturing experience, and business/startup know-how. Top tier investors include Kleiner Perkins and NEA ; Board includes John Doerr, Vinod Khosla

Traditional Distributed Generation Technologies:

Confidential 2 Traditional Distributed Generation Technologies Clean AND Reliable AND Affordable What’s Been Missing? Diesel/Gas Genset Microturbine Solar / Photovoltaic Wind Turbine Proven Technology But… Dirty, Noisy, Inefficient Little Bit Cleaner But… Noisy, Inefficient Renewable, Clean and Quiet, But… Undependable, Expensive Renewable and Clean But… Undependable, Noisy, Expensive

Introducing Bloom Energy Making Clean, Reliable Energy Affordable:

Our Vision:

Confidential 4 Our Vision The Color Of Money Nov 13, 2006

Fuel Cells Explained:

Confidential 5 Fuel Cells Explained A fuel cell is an electrochemical device in which fuel is oxidized without combustion to generate electrical energy (direct energy conversion) Different Types = Different Applications Commonly Four Types Associated with Stationary Power Generation anode cathode electrolyte fuel air positive ions (H+) negative ions (O--) (or) current Carbon + Hydrogen Oxygen C x H y + zO 2  nCO 2 + mH 2 O + e – + Heat

Fuel Cell Technology Comparison:

Confidential 6 Fuel Cell Technology Comparison Why Planar? Bloom Energy has overcome the key technological hurdles to planar SOFC development… National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Gas-Fired Distributed Energy Resource Technology Characterizations, 2003; BE Analysis Why Solid Oxide? Cheaper Cleaner Fuel Flexible Reliable Reversible Higher fuel utilization Higher current densities Dramatically cheaper to manufacture Fuel Cell Type Proton Exchange Membrane Phosphoric Acid Molten Carbonate Solid Oxide Electrolyte Membrane Acid Liquid Ceramic Temperature Low Medium High Highest Precious Metals Required Yes Yes No No Availability 95% 95% 95% 99+% Fuel Flexible No No No Yes CO 2 Emissions 1200 lbs/MWh 1200 lbs/MWh 1000 lbs/MWh 750 lbs/MWh Electrical Efficiency 35% 37% 44% 58% Cathode Anode Electrolyte (Solid Ceramic) Interconnect Interconnect Fuel Air Current Flow e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e- e-

Competitive Advantage: SOFC vs Solar / Wind:

Confidential 7 Competitive Advantage: SOFC vs Solar / Wind Solar , while clean, is only available 18% of the time on average. Dirty, grid electricity (“brown power”) is required the other 82% of the time. SOFC is available 24 hours a day; making it a cleaner, cheaper alternative

Bloom Energy Value Propositions:

Confidential 8 Bloom Energy Value Propositions Premium quality continuous power Reduced CO 2 emissions Reduced operating costs Protection against price volatility Energy generation and storage

Interest in Bloom Energy:

Confidential 9 Interest in Bloom Energy General Colin Powell Senator Lieberman (CT) Speaker of the House Pelosi Senator Feinstein (CA) Senator Bingaman (NM) Mayor Bloomberg (NYC) and Governor Schwarzenegger (CA) Congressman Wamp (TN) Senator Brownback (KS) Senator Ensign (NV) Charlie Rose Show w/ John Doerr and Scott McNealy

Why Bloom Energy?:

Confidential 10 Why Bloom Energy? Right Technology … Solid oxide holds the most promise for stationary power generation BE has solved the technical challenges to viable mass production Right Team … Blend of Fuel Cell, Semiconductor Volume Manufacturing, and Startup Know-how Right Backing … Silicon Valley’s Premier Venture Capitalists Right Time … Energy will be for the next decade what the Internet was for the last
