Ferrari goes green: Bloom Energy hydrogen fuel cell plant to power Maranello factory

Ferrari are accelerating their journey towards carbon neutrality with the installation of a new one mega-watt solid oxide hydrogen fuel cell plant at its Maranello facilities, built by Bloom Energy.

This innovative plant now provides 5% of the energy required for Ferrari’s production activities, significantly cutting fuel consumption and emissions.

The new fuel cell plant represents a major step forward in Ferrari’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

Compared to traditional CHP (Combined Heat and Power) cogeneration systems, this plant reduces gas requirements by approximately 20%, offering substantial energy savings. 

Additionally, it boasts flexibility in energy sources, including hydrogen, natural gas, biomethane, or a combination, converting fuel into electricity without combustion.

One of the most impressive benefits is the reduction of over 99% of pollution that contributes to smog and particulate matter, making this plant not only efficient but also environmentally friendly.

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna said: “Ferrari are working harder than ever to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, through the adoption of leading edge technologies and of a scientific approach that is written in our DNA.

“We are thrilled to partner with Bloom Energy, as both our Companies are highly committed to a decarbonization path, and proud to host its first European installation.”
