In Horsham, England, Ceres has secured a contract with Shell for the second phase of their collaboration, focusing on designing a solid oxide electrolyser ('SOEC') module. This module aims to be utilized in large-scale industrial applications such as synthetic fuels, ammonia, and green steel. The collaboration, which began in 2022 and previously led to the deployment of a 1MW SOEC system at Shell's R&D facility in Bangalore, India, now aims to develop a pressurized module design scalable to hundreds of megawatts. The project is geared towards integrating the module into industrial plants to produce sustainable future fuels, leveraging the significant efficiency gains offered by SOEC technology. The goal is to achieve a module level efficiency of less than 36kWh/kg of hydrogen, aligning with EU technology targets for 2030. Phil Caldwell, the Chief Executive of Ceres, emphasizes the strategic importance of the collaboration with Shell in ensuring Ceres' SOEC technology meets the needs of the green hydrogen and synthetic fuels markets. The focus on continuous innovation and performance places Ceres at the forefront of the industry in terms of efficiency and sustainability.
