Announced today (June 23), the Prancing Horse has set the pace for its drive to carbon neutrality in its manufacturing by 2030, thanks to the planned 1MW installation of Bloom Energy’s solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).

The Bloom platform converts fuels including hydrogen, biogas, or natural gas into clean electricity without combustion, and hopes to reduce Ferrari’s fuel consumption and carbon emissions.

The companies believe the technology also equips Ferrari to lead the race in Italy’s emerging hydrogen economy. In 2021, Air Liquide and Eni announced a partnership to deploy multiple hydrogen refuelling stations across the country.
