Ceres in final stages of commissioning first-of-a-kind solid oxide electrolyzer

In Germany, Ceres says its first-of-a-kind solid oxide electrolyzer is producing hydrogen at partner AVL’s site in Germany and is in the final stages of commissioning, on track to reach factory acceptance testing in the coming weeks.

Ceres’ deep expertise in solid oxide technology has allowed it to prosecute an ambitious program for hydrogen over the past 24 months. This significant technology milestone will see the demonstrator shipped to Shell’s R&D Centre in Bangalore, India, in the coming weeks to substantiate the performance, cost, and operational functionality of Ceres’ electrolyzer technology.

In parallel, the release of Ceres’ next generation stack technology earlier this year has delivered improvements in performance and cost, which will now feed through into feasibility studies underway with partners. These studies focus on designing the optimum architecture for 100MW+ scale system installations, essential to accelerate commercialization and to deliver green hydrogen at the scale and pace required to reach net zero.
