Ceres Power Holdings plc has secured a contract extension for its collaboration with Shell, focusing on the development of a solid oxide electrolyser (SOEC) module suited for large-scale industrial applications such as synthetic fuels and green steel. This partnership, initiated in 2022, has already led to the installation of a 1MW SOEC system at Shell's R&D facility in Bangalore, India. The current phase of collaboration aims to design a pressurised module that can be efficiently scaled to hundreds of megawatts and seamlessly integrated with existing industrial processes to produce sustainable future fuels. The project will leverage insights and data from the initial 1MW demonstration to create a competitive and scalable solution, striving for an enhanced module level efficiency of less than 36kWh/kg of hydrogen, in line with EU SOE 2030 technology targets. The CEO of Ceres, Phil Caldwell, underscores the importance of the ongoing collaboration with Shell in ensuring that Ceres' SOEC technology remains at the forefront of the industry, offering simplicity, efficiency, and high performance to address the growing demand for green hydrogen and synthetic fuels in the market.
