I had a quick look at the patent for Bloom Energy Corporation 20080318092
The preferred embodiment of the invention is similar to CFU
system but extracting and storing hydrogen from the exhaust
The next 2 embodiments are slight variations
The 3rd embodiment gets some of the Co2 out of the exhaust
and turns it into methane using high school chemistry
The 4th embodiment uses some of the electricity from
the Fuel Cells to generate and store hydrogen from water
which is primary school chemistry.
So it is a lot hype and where CFU is a fuel cell generating
electricity and hot water from natural gas ,Bloom is a Fuel cell generating electricity and Hydrogen for cars from natural gas
They appear to be years behind CFU and should have no effect on Dyesol
Comparing the Fuel Cell image below from Bloom with the one above from CFU gives you some idea who is ahead.
