Ceres contracted by Shell to design 10-MW SOEC module
UK fuel cell firm Ceres Power Holdings plc (LON:CWR) said today it has signed a contract with oil giant Shell Plc (LON:SHEL) for the design of a 10-MW pressurised solid oxide electrolyser (SOEC) module.
The aim of the contract is to develop a pressurised module design that can be scaled to hundreds of megawatts, for use in large-scale industrial applications such as synthetic fuels, ammonia and green steel.

The agreement expands Ceres’ collaboration with Shell, which started in 2022 and involved the deployment of a 1-MW SOEC system at Shell's research and development (R&D) facility in Bangalore, India.
Drawing on the 1-MW demonstration project, the partners seek to develop a commercially competitive and scalable solution. Ceres explains that SOEC technology offers efficiency gains, resulting in some 35% more hydrogen produced per unit of electrical energy when coupled with heat from industrial processes. The project targets a module level efficiency of less than 36 kWh/kg of hydrogen. This aligns to EU SOE 2030 technology targets, the company said.
