โฆ Synopsis
rapid growth in demand expected from its target markets. Ceres is developing intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell technology, and is already running a test-bed production facility at its Crawley headquarters.
Ceres is partnering with British Gas to incorporate its fuel cells in domestic boilers that produce both heat and power. A similar program is under way with BOC, to develop fuel cell products using bottled gas for applications where grid-connection is unfeasible or uneconomic.
'This new contract will help move our volume manufacturing strategy forward so that we can meet predicted market demand to the highest quality and reliability standards at the lowest possible cost,' says Peter Bance, CEO of Ceres.
The company's technology can operate on readily available fuels such as natural gas and propane, as well as hydrogen. The technology is not dependent on the widespread development of a hydrogen economy, but will work effectively when this comes about. The fuel cells can be manufactured inexpensively using low-cost materials and established mass-production techniques, and will help to reduce both energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
