About
Babcock & Wilcox (B&W) is a global leader in energy and environmental technologies and services for the power generation and industrial markets. Founded in 1867 by Stephen Wilcox and George Babcock with the invention of the world's first inherently safe water-tube boiler. Thomas Edison purchased B&W boiler No. 92 for his Menlo Park laboratory in 1878 and famously wrote that a B&W boiler is 'the best boiler God has permitted man yet to make.' For over 155 years, B&W has been at the forefront of thermal energy innovation, now providing more than 300,000 MW of generating capacity worldwide. The company has evolved to become a comprehensive provider of environmental solutions, including emissions control systems, carbon capture technologies, and decarbonization solutions.
