Ceres Joins Hydrogen Council to Advance Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Technology and Industrial Decarbonization

Ceres, a UK-based player at the forefront of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and electrolyser tech, has officially joined the Hydrogen Council—a worldwide coalition working to fast-track hydrogen adoption as part of the clean energy shift. Announced on June 17, 2025, the move marks a big step forward in Ceres’ mission to ramp up efficient, low-carbon solutions for tough-to-decarbonize industries like steelmaking and ammonia production.

A Big Move to Boost Industrial Decarbonization

Since its founding in 2001, Ceres has taken a different approach to innovation by using a tech licensing model. That means instead of mass-producing hardware, it partners with big industry names like Doosan, Shell, and Weichai. Its solid oxide platforms are designed to deliver serious efficiency when it comes to hydrogen production and power generation at scale—ideal for heavy industry. Joining the Hydrogen Council opens the door to bigger conversations on global policy, stronger collaboration, and shared standards that help push green hydrogen and fuel cell technology into more mainstream industrial use.

Riding the Momentum of a Strong 2024

This announcement follows a banner year for Ceres. 2024 saw record-breaking revenue numbers and new global partnerships taking shape. Tapping into the Hydrogen Council’s network now is a smart play, putting Ceres in sync with growing momentum around net zero targets. It’s also a strong signal that solid oxide fuel cells and other mature clean tech are stepping into the spotlight as viable tools to cut carbon from industry.

With big names in their corner and game-changing technology in hand, Ceres looks ready to help reshape how we think about energy—and how we clean up some of the planet’s heaviest polluters along the way.
