Ceres Power, a clean energy technology firm, has secured a significant contract from Shell for the second phase of their collaboration on solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology. The contract involves designing a 10 megawatt (MW) pressurized SOEC module to produce green hydrogen with high efficiency. This module represents a substantial scale-up from the existing 1MW system deployed at Shell’s R&D facility in Bangalore, India. The technology's advantage lies in its high efficiency, capable of achieving 35% more hydrogen output per unit of electricity, especially when integrated to capture waste heat from industrial processes. The design target of the 10MW module aims for energy consumption below 36 kilowatt-hours per kilogram of hydrogen produced, aligning with the European Union's 2030 technical targets. Phil Caldwell, Chief Executive of Ceres, highlighted the strategic collaboration with Shell and emphasized the positioning of Ceres' SOEC technology to meet partners' needs in the green hydrogen and synthetic fuels markets. Ceres Power follows an asset-light green hydrogen licensing model, partnering with major companies like Bosch, Doosan, Shell, and Weichai, showcasing its commitment to innovation and industry leadership.
