Following hard on Tonic's story on EEStor and a the wave of clean energy technologies about to break on the shores of global warming comes word that eBay is to get the largest installation to date of Bloom Energy's new fuel cell. And we're not talking about a tiny demonstration project, of the sort we often read about; this is a gang of five commercial-grade cells turning out an impressive 500KW. That's a lot of output. It's no power station, but it's enough to run a neighborhood worth of homes. Michael Kanellos, writing in greentechmedia, reports that the "City of San Jose has granted eBay permission to install five fuel cells from Bloom Energy that will generate up to 500 kilowatts of power." According to the San Jose Business Journal, eBay is "on a mission to reduce its overall carbon footprint by 15 percent by 2012 ... It’s using technology from the first green tech investment made by [venture capital firm] Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to do it." The Journal reports that "the online auction site in February applied for a permit to construct and implement an electric fuel cell system from Bloom Energy of Sunnyvale. The system consists of five outdoor natural gas fuel cells capable of producing 500 kilowatts of electricity." According to CNNMoney.com, Bloom wants to use "solid-oxide fuel cells to allow homes to generate their own electricity. The fuel cells would use (but not burn) hydrocarbon fuel, and produce just half the carbon dioxide that today's power plants do. One fuel cell should be enough to serve a home; homes could sell excess power back to the grid." What's important to note is that Bloom is breaking out, although rumors flow that they are having manufacturing problems delaying a wider roll out. So far, Google is running a 100KW Bloom cell, as is the San Francisco Airport. We reported on Volkswagen and its joint venture with a German company that makes high-efficiency gas turbines to deliver residential energy not only to homes but back into the grid, so we'll be keeping an eye on these technologies as they roll out. In the meantime, it's great news that businesses are finally bringing real, useful clean energy products to market. |

Following hard on Tonic's story on EEStor and a the wave of clean energy technologies about to break on the shores of global warming comes word that eBay is to get the largest installation to date of Bloom Energy's new fuel cell. 紧紧追踪Tonic关于EESTor公司的报道，在清洁能源技术即将盛行和全球变暖的情况下，易趣据说将要安装目前为止最新的来自BE公司的燃料电池 And we're not talking about a tiny demonstration project, of the sort we often read about; this is a gang of five commercial-grade cells turning out an impressive 500KW. That's a lot of output. It's no power station, but it's enough to run a neighborhood worth of homes. Michael Kanellos, writing in greentechmedia, reports that the "City of San Jose has granted eBay permission to install five fuel cells from Bloom Energy that will generate up to 500 kilowatts of power." According to the San Jose Business Journal, eBay is "on a mission to reduce its overall carbon footprint by 15 percent by 2012 ... It’s using technology from the first green tech investment made by [venture capital firm] Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to do it." 我们不是在谈论我们经常读到的那种小型的演示计划。这是由5个商用级电池组成的电池组，能产生惊人的500kw的电力。这是一个巨大的输出功率。没有发电所，但是却足够供附件居民使用。Michael Kanellos在绿色科技媒体上写到：“圣何塞市已经批准eBay去安装这样的5个电池组，将会产生500kw的电力。”。根据圣何塞财经杂志报道，易趣”正在减少其全面的碳排放（碳足印），预计到2012年，将减少15%。它正在利用第一绿色科技投资的技术来实现这一点。该投资由Kleiner Perkins Caufield和Byers的风险投资企业创立。 The Journal reports that "the online auction site in February applied for a permit to construct and implement an electric fuel cell system from Bloom Energy of Sunnyvale. The system consists of five outdoor natural gas fuel cells capable of producing 500 kilowatts of electricity." 该杂志报道说：“在线拍卖网（指eBay，易趣）二月份申请准许其建设和安装一个BE公司的电力燃料电池系统。这个系统包括5个室外天然气燃料电池，可以产生500 KW的电力。 According to CNNMoney.com, Bloom wants to use "solid-oxide fuel cells to allow homes to generate their own electricity. The fuel cells would use (but not burn) hydrocarbon fuel, and produce just half the carbon dioxide that today's power plants do. One fuel cell should be enough to serve a home; homes could sell excess power back to the grid." 根据CNN财经网报道，Bloom希望使用“固态氧化物燃料电池来让家庭能产生自用的电能。这些燃料电池将会使用（而不是燃烧）碳氢化合物燃料，这些电池所排放的二氧化碳只用普通发电厂的一半。一个燃料电池将足够保证一户家庭使用，家庭还可以将多余的电能回输到电网。 What's important to note is that Bloom is breaking out, although rumors flow that they are having manufacturing problems delaying a wider roll out. So far, Google is running a 100KW Bloom cell, as is the San Francisco Airport. 值得一提的是，Bloom公司正在脱颖而出（这里是双关语，Bloom有花开繁盛的意思）。尽管有人怀疑，由于制造上的困难，该公司会推迟该产品的进一步发布。目前为止，谷歌正在使用100 千瓦Bloom的电池，同时使用的还有旧金山机场。 We reported on Volkswagen and its joint venture with a German company that makes high-efficiency gas turbines to deliver residential energy not only to homes but back into the grid, so we'll be keeping an eye on these technologies as they roll out. 我们报道了大众汽车以及其和一家德国公司的合资企业，他们制造高性能蒸汽涡轮机，把能量不仅传输给居民家用，还回传到电网上。所以我们将密切关注这些技术的进展。 In the meantime, it's great news that businesses are finally bringing real, useful clean energy products to market. 同时，企业能把真正的，有用的清洁能源推向市场，这是一个好消息。 |
