Key Findings

  • Economic: B Clean Energy publicly describes itself as Bloom Energy’s official representative in Israel, offering consultation, system design, installation and ongoing support; the underlying Israeli company was incorporated on 5 May 2025, but Bloom ownership, appointment terms and customers remain unverified.1, 2
  • Political: Bloom’s Global Code instructs personnel to comply with anti-boycott law and not participate in unsanctioned boycotts of Israel; this is a trade-compliance rule, not evidence of Israel/Palestine lobbying or support for Israeli government policy.3
  • Military: Bloom has documented U.S. military-installation energy work, including a 2014 NSA/Fort Meade system and conditional 2026 U.S. Army selections, but no Israeli military or security contract was identified.4, 5
  • Not found: No public evidence identified of Bloom equipment, services, digital systems or projects in Israeli settlements or other occupied territory, or of an Israeli military, intelligence or state-security customer.1, 6

Key Facts:

Executive Summary

Bloom Energy is a United States-based energy-technology company producing stationary solid-oxide fuel-cell systems and electrolyzers. The documented Israel nexus is limited to a local commercial channel: B Clean Energy’s own public page states that it is Bloom Energy’s “official representative” in Israel and offers consultation, design, installation and ongoing support for Bloom technology. Public company-data records establish the existence of B CLEAN ENERGY (BLOOM) LTD, but do not establish that Bloom Energy Corporation owns, controls or authorized that entity, nor identify the relationship’s terms.1, 2

No independently verified Israeli Bloom installation, purchaser, deployment capacity, revenue figure, employee count, tax contribution or project location was identified in the reviewed evidence. Bloom’s own customer, contact and partner materials reviewed in the audits did not identify an Israeli customer or B Clean as an Israel representative. Those omissions are not proof that no relationship or customer exists; they limit what can be concluded from public sources.12, 13, 14

The evidence does not support a military, settlement or security-supply finding. No public evidence identified of a Bloom contract or tender with the IDF, Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israeli intelligence agencies, Israel Prison Service, Border Police or another Israeli security body. No public evidence identified of a Bloom deployment or service activity in West Bank settlements, East Jerusalem settlements or the occupied Syrian Golan.6, 15 Bloom’s documented U.S. defence-facility energy work concerns resilient onsite power rather than weapons, and does not establish an Israel-related military role.4, 5

The verified digital record likewise concerns Bloom’s equipment telemetry, remote monitoring and ordinary enterprise cybersecurity. Bloom’s systems transmit equipment-performance data to Remote Monitoring and Control Centers in the United States and India; no confirmed Israeli installation means this architecture cannot establish that Israeli-site data are presently transmitted there. Current job postings support Bloom’s use of Palo Alto network-security technology, but do not establish where the specific products Bloom deploys were engineered, supported or operated.16, 17

The final human-vetted V6.5 result is BRS 229, Tier D (Moderate Complicity). The fixed score records Political as the only non-zero domain. It must not be read as proof of Israeli military supply, settlement activity, Israel/Palestine lobbying, or an Israeli state partnership, none of which was established in the four audits.

Timeline of Relevant Events

DateEvent
15 May 2014Bloom reported that the U.S. Department of Defense deployed a 1.6 MW Bloom installation at the NSA campus at Fort Meade, Maryland. The reviewed source did not establish whether it remains operational.4
23 November 2020Bloom Energy Corporation PAC (BE PAC) was registered with the FEC.18
5 May 2025B CLEAN ENERGY (BLOOM) LTD, company 517157756, was incorporated as an Israeli private company.2
26 September 2025OHCHR issued its settlement-business database update; Bloom Energy was not found by name in the reviewed material, a bounded result rather than proof of no indirect relationship.19
1 June 2026Bloom filed its Form SD and 2025 Conflict Minerals Report; Israel appeared in an aggregated possible-country-of-origin appendix, with an express warning that the appendix exceeds directly traceable sourcing for covered products.20
September 2026The U.S. Army announced conditional commercial-power lease selections naming Indelible-Bloom for Fort Detrick, Letterkenny Army Depot and West Point; formal agreements remained at an initial stage.5

Corporate Overview

Bloom Energy Corporation is a Delaware corporation headquartered in San Jose, California. Its core business is distributed energy technology: solid-oxide fuel-cell Energy Servers, microgrid systems and electrolyzers. Its 2025 Form 10-K describes U.S. manufacturing and identifies the United States and South Korea as its principal reported markets.7

Bloom’s significant-subsidiary exhibit names Bloom Energy (India) Pvt. Ltd. and Bloom SK Fuel Cell, LLC. The exhibit omits subsidiaries that are not significant in the aggregate under the applicable securities rule, so it cannot prove that no smaller Israeli subsidiary exists.21 However, the reviewed filings, facilities disclosures and current contact page did not identify a Bloom-owned Israeli office, factory, warehouse, R&D centre or support centre.7, 13

The Israel-facing evidence is instead a third-party commercial representation claim. B Clean Energy says it represents Bloom in Israel and provides design, installation and support. Its listed Migdal HaEmek contact address differs from the Nahalal registration address shown in company-data records. Neither source establishes Bloom’s equity ownership, corporate control, exclusivity, appointment date or contract terms.1, 2

Domain Summaries

Military: Military

Mechanism of Involvement

Bloom’s products are stationary power and energy-resilience systems. The documented military-facing activity is in the United States: a 2014 Bloom release described a 1.6 MW installation at the NSA campus at Fort Meade, and the U.S. Army’s September 2026 announcement named Indelible-Bloom in conditional commercial-power lease selections for three U.S. installations.4, 5

The equipment may be usable at military facilities because it supports onsite resilience and critical loads, but the reviewed materials do not identify a tactical, ruggedised, Israel-specific military variant, weapons product line or Israeli military end user.22, 7

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The strongest defence is that the documented U.S. defence work is civilian-style stationary power infrastructure for energy security and resilience, not weapons manufacture or combat systems. The Fort Meade source is historical and does not establish present operating status; the 2026 Army selections were conditional and had not yet become final lease agreements in the Army announcement.4, 5

No public evidence identified of a Bloom contract, tender, framework agreement, memorandum, export authorization or end-user certificate involving the IDF, Israeli Ministry of Defense, Israeli intelligence agencies, Israel Prison Service, Border Police or another Israeli security body. No public evidence identified of Bloom supply to Elbit Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael, IMI/Elbit Land or a related Israeli defence prime.6, 15

Israeli security bodiesNo public evidence identified of a Bloom contract or deployment.6

Digital: Digital

Mechanism of Involvement

Bloom’s documented digital systems support its own energy equipment. Its 2023 Form 10-K describes secure telemetry transmitting more than 500 real-time performance parameters from Energy Servers to Remote Monitoring and Control Centers in the United States and India, where software monitors performance and personnel can remotely intervene in controls.16

Current Bloom network-engineering postings describe Palo Alto firewalls and related network-security functions across Bloom’s corporate, manufacturing and field environments. Palo Alto Networks maintains a Tel Aviv office with R&D and other functions; the public sources do not establish that Bloom’s particular deployed products were developed or supported in Israel.17, 23

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The documented telemetry and analytics concern equipment performance, not human identification, intelligence collection, population surveillance or policing. No public evidence identified of Israeli-origin facial recognition, biometric identification, predictive-policing, offensive cyber, digital weapons, Project Nimbus participation, Israeli military technology provision or Israeli state-cloud work.16, 24

B Clean’s representative claim does not name an Israeli installation. Consequently, the standard Bloom telemetry architecture cannot support an assertion that data from an Israeli site are transmitted to Bloom’s U.S. or India monitoring centres.1, 16

Named Entities and Evidence Map

EntityEvidence record
Palo Alto NetworksBloom job postings support use of its firewall technology; its Tel Aviv R&D presence does not establish an Israel-specific Bloom support or data path.17, 23

Israeli state and security bodiesNo public evidence identified of a Bloom digital contract, surveillance deployment, cloud role or military/intelligence relationship.24
B Clean EnergyCommercial representation claim only; no named project, installation or end user.1

Economic: Economic

Mechanism of Involvement

The economic nexus supported by public evidence is the Israeli commercial channel claimed by B Clean Energy. Its page says that it brings Bloom fuel-cell technology to the Israeli energy market and offers consultation, design, installation and ongoing support. Company-data records establish B CLEAN ENERGY (BLOOM) LTD as an active Israeli private company incorporated in May 2025.1, 2

Bloom’s 2025 Conflict Minerals Report lists Israel in an aggregated appendix of possible countries of origin for 3TG reporting. Bloom expressly cautions that supplier responses may include countries beyond those directly linked to its covered products. The filing therefore does not establish an Israeli supplier, Israeli component, Israeli purchase or settlement-origin input.20

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

No public evidence identified of a Bloom-owned Israeli operating company, factory, data centre, logistics hub, real-estate asset, R&D centre, importer-of-record structure, Israeli tax registration, Israeli revenue figure or Israeli employee count. No public evidence identified of a named Israeli customer, purchase order, completed installation or deployed capacity.7, 12, 13

No public evidence identified of settlement-origin sourcing, an installation or service contract in the West Bank, East Jerusalem or the Golan Heights. The latest 2026 OHCHR annex was not retrievable through the worker’s official endpoint, so the audits do not make a definitive claim that Bloom or B Clean is absent from that specific list.19, 25

Israeli suppliersIsrael appears only in an aggregated possible-origin appendix that Bloom says is not direct sourcing evidence.20

Political: Political

Mechanism of Involvement

Bloom’s Global Code of Business Conduct and Ethics directs personnel to comply with international trade, sanctions, export-control, customs and anti-boycott rules, and specifically says not to participate in boycotts of Israel or other unsanctioned foreign boycotts.3 This is the clearest documented policy-related Israel reference in the reviewed materials.

Bloom also has established U.S. political and policy infrastructure. Its proxy identifies James Roth as Head of Government Affairs and Policy and assigns oversight of relevant social, political, legislative and non-financial regulatory developments to the Nominating, Governance and Public Policy Committee.8, 9 BE PAC is an active federal corporate PAC; the FEC’s 2026-cycle overview reported receipts and contributions to other committees, but does not assign an Israel/Palestine purpose to those activities.18

Counter-Arguments and Evidence Limits

The anti-boycott provision is a legal-compliance instruction. It does not establish lobbying for anti-BDS legislation, advocacy for Israeli government policy, support for settlements, or a position on Palestinian rights.3 Likewise, retrievable lobbying summaries identify energy, tax, defence and budget/appropriations work, but do not name Israel, Palestine, Israeli military assistance, settlements or anti-BDS legislation as subjects.26

No public evidence identified of a Bloom corporate statement addressing the Israel-Hamas war, Palestinian civilian harm, a ceasefire, Israeli government policy or Palestinian rights. No public evidence identified of a Bloom corporate donation to the IDF, FIDF, JNF/KKL, a settlement organization or an Israeli military-welfare fund.14, 27
