Ivor Castelino

Ivor Castelino is currently a Senior Director of Energy Transition Solutions at Bloom Energy with a focus on Carbon Capture and Biogas. He leads the effort to develop innovative solutions and partnerships for capturing the CO2 emissions from natural gas fueled Bloom Energy fuel cells and converting organic waste into electricity using the same high efficiency fuel cell platform. His efforts have led to impactful projects such as utilizing fuel cells at dairy farms, turning organic waste into clean electricity. One of these projects, in Kerman, California, received recognition from numerous publications including a notable feature in the BBC’s Humanizing Energy series. Ivor also sits on the Board of the American Biogas Council, the largest industry association for biogas.

Prior to his current role, Ivor was a Managing Director of Structured Finance at Bloom. In this role, he developed a leasing program that allowed customers to make monthly payments for fuel cells rather than requiring an upfront purchase. This innovative approach enabled the company to sell over $1 billion in fuel cells and expanded the number of customers who could access this innovative technology.

Ivor graduated with a Bachelor’s in Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (India) and a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of California - Berkeley. He resides in the Bay Area with his wife, two kids and his farm animals.
