Our power system reference design converts grid natural gas into electricity using an array of solid oxide fuel cell ("SOFC") stacks, supported by a balance of plant based on our robust system IP portfolio. With deep system development experience, Ceres enables partners to accelerate time-to-market through a proven, flexible architecture, while providing expert support across all stages of system development.

Key features
What we offer
- High electrical efficiency of 62%
- 25% lower CO2 emissions compared to OCGT and near zero emissions of NOx and SOx
- Designed for transport and maintainability
- Operational at constant or variable power, cycling, vibration and shock loading
- Suitable for installation in indoor and outdoor environments
- Designed for natural gas with compatibility with future fuels, such as biogas, ammonia and methanol
Key attributes
Leverages Ceres' multi-year stack and system development, resulting in a base power system of a reasonable scale for large power generation plants.
- High efficiency, with inherent robustness to suit transportation and cyclic operation
- Can be integrated with carbon capture solutions for near zero CO2 emissions or negative emissions if fuelled with biogas
- Modular and scalable to multi-MW installations
- Can be deployed in months, not years, for on-site power generation where grid connection is not available
