VAN NUYS, CA — Aspire Bakeries unveiled the addition of Bloom Fuel Cells to its Van Nuys, CA bakery on Nov. 10. with a ribbon cutting ceremony. Tyson Yu, CEO of Aspire, was joined by bakery team members and Billy Brooks from project partner Bloom Energy.
The project, which has been in the works since 2019, will reduce demand on the greater Los Angeles grid since 75% of the bakery’s electricity is now generated by the on-site fuel cells, which utilize an electrochemical process to convert natural gas into electricity.
