Ceres and Shell announce electrolyser agreement for green hydrogen
PR96753
LONDON, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ -
- Megawatt scale demonstrator to be located in Bangalore, India
- Aim to deliver low-cost green hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation
Ceres Power a global leader in fuel cell and electrochemical technology, is
pleased to announce that it has signed an agreement with Shell to deliver a
megawatt scale solid oxide electrolyser (SOEC) demonstrator in 2023.
Shell and Ceres are building this partnership to utilise SOEC technology to
deliver high-efficiency, low-cost green hydrogen; now widely viewed as a
credible route to decarbonise hard-to-abate parts of the energy system that
rely on fossil fuels today.
Ceres aims to produce hydrogen at efficiencies around 20% greater than
other technologies, in the range of mid-80s to 90% efficiency where it is
possible to make use of waste heat in industrial processes to drive this high
efficiency.
Ceres has committed £100 million for the development of its SOEC technology
– with the aim of achieving a market-leading levelised cost of hydrogen of
$1.5/kg by 2025. The agreement with Shell aligns with Ceres' business strategy
and provides a pathway to the commercialisation and development of new markets.
The system will be installed at Shell's research and development technology
centre in Bangalore, India, where the hydrogen will be used in industrial
processes on site. The centre is a key part of Shell's focus on innovation and
technology with the potential to provide cleaner energy solutions.
Phil Caldwell, Chief Executive of Ceres commented: "Today's announcement
with Shell is a hugely important step for Ceres. The partnership endorses our
business strategy and signals the potential of our SOEC technology to deliver
low-cost green hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation at the scale and pace
needed to reach net zero."
Yuri Sebregts, EVP Technology, Shell: "Shell's Powering Progress strategy
sets a clear ambition for Shell to be a leader in the energy transition and
accelerate our journey to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050.
Hydrogen features heavily in that strategy. Ceres, with their differentiating
SOEC technology, have the potential to produce Hydrogen at an optimum cost and
efficiency profile. The pilot and collaboration with Ceres are a step forward
in maturing this promising technology towards industrial scale."
