Sustainability

Ceres aims to play a central role in the global energy transition to affordable clean power through licensing our technologies. Our solid oxide fuel cell (“SOFC”) technology can support the transition away from coal to lower emitting natural gas infrastructure. Running on natural gas, SOFC achieves electrical efficiency of 65% and provides useful temperatures for heating and hot water, delivering a total efficiency greater than 90%. SOFC emits no SOx, NOx, or particulates and delivers power at a 30% carbon emission reduction compared to the conventional combustion engine.

In electrolyser mode it provides a highly efficient, low-cost and sustainable route to produce green hydrogen when powered with renewable electricity. The high efficiency not only reduces energy consumption, but also reduces all the supporting infrastructure, upfront costs and operational costs long term.

Ceres continues to advance our unique platform technology for both SOFC and solid oxide electrolysis cells (“SOEC”) to increase efficiency and maturity. With a team of more than 400 scientists, technicians and engineers, Ceres has a deep expertise in developing groundbreaking solid oxide technologies that can be integrated into industries that are difficult to decarbonise through electrification alone, such as steelmaking, ammonia and distributed power.

Our business model allows the scaled production of our highly efficient technologies across the world, building global infrastructure and supply chains to support decarbonisation targets. Our SOEC technology can deliver green hydrogen at 37kWh/kg, which is 30% more efficient than incumbent lower‑temperature technologies. We are working with industry partners to ensure the development of our technology is compatible with hard-to-abate industrial processes to maximise the impact on global decarbonisation targets.

Our technology can provide secure, clean, affordable technology for cities’ transportation, commercial and data centre requirements. Through our partners, we have deployed more than 100 pilot systems for decentralised power supply systems. These have provided power for commercial buildings, hospitals and data centres.

We are committed to responsible consumption and production through our operations and technology development. Our technology has sustainability embedded into its design by using common materials and limited precious metals. Our life cycle analyses show improved resource utilisation as we continue to develop end-of-life solutions, thereby reducing both Ceres’ and our partners’ impact. As well, we have maintained zero waste to landfill since 2023.

We promote climate action through mitigation of our operational greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and deployment of our high efficiency technology to high-emitting industries. We have developed an emissions reduction strategy to minimise the impact of our operations whilst partnering with original equipment manufacturers for the rapid deployment of our technology to reduce energy consumption across applications, such as the distributed power and steel industries.
