The commercial power sector is increasingly focused on resilience and emissions reduction. Solid oxide fuel cells ("SOFC") provide dependable, low-emission electricity and heat with minimal grid reliance, an ideal fit for facilities looking to reduce costs and carbon footprints. The commercial distributed energy market is expanding rapidly in response.
Global market
~5GW
installed fuel cell capacity
While China, India, South East Asia and the EU are expected to have the largest growth, all major economies will see significant increase, representing an opportunity of ~5GW of installed fuel cell capacity.
Why ceres?
Ceres solid oxide power solutions
- Offer high efficiency which is an advantage in combined heat and power applications because electricity has higher value than heat
- Have low emissions, with near zero NOx and SOx emissions
- Operate quietly, benefiting populated areas
- Are uniquely able to modulate load, and even operate at zero load, to match building power demand through the day
- Can be integrated with carbon capture solutions for near zero CO2 emissions or negative emissions if fuelled with biogas

Case study
Weichai launches stationary power SOFC system
Weichai 120kW CE certified fuel cell system uses Ceres’ technology clean power provided by fuel cells
brings simplicity, lower cost, improved efficiency and much lower carbon footprint.
Weichai in partnership with Ceres has developed a CE certified 120kW SOFC power system. Weichai estimates that when its product reaches 1GW of distributed power deployed, it has the potential to save around 600 million cubic metres of natural gas, compared with traditional natural gas generators.
