JOINT PRESS RELEASE
Delta Secures License to Hydrogen Energy Technology from
UK-listed Ceres to Develop its Fuel Cell and Electrolysis
Solutions
TAIPEI, January 18, 2024 - Delta Electronics, Inc. (hereinafter
referred to as "Delta"), a global leader in power and thermal
management and provider of IoT-based Smart Green Solutions, today
announced the signing of a long-term collaboration agreement, which
includes technology transfer and licensing, with Ceres Power
Limited, subsidiary of London Stock Exchange-listed Ceres Power
Holdings plc (hereinafter referred to as "Ceres") to access Ceres'
Hydrogen energy stack technology portfolio for approx. GBP43
million. Ceres is a global leader in solid oxide fuel cell and
electrochemical technology. Through this partnership, Delta expects
to integrate Ceres' energy stack technology with its own
industry-leading power electronics and thermal management
technologies to develop solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid
oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) systems for hydrogen energy
applications, with production expected to start by the end of 2026,
with strong ambition for future scale-up. These SOFC and SOEC
systems are expected to enhance the capabilities of Delta's green
solutions for a myriad of sectors, such as, chemicals, energy,
transportation, steel and more.
Ping Cheng, Delta's CEO, said , "Hydrogen has high heating value
and zero CO2 emission potential characteristics, and thus, will
play a crucial role in the global transition towards net-zero.
Moreover, Hydrogen SOFC systems boast reliability and high
efficiency in electricity generation, making them ideal for
micro-grid applications, distributed power systems,
mission-critical facilities, such as data centers, semiconductor
production lines, and other advanced manufacturing. SOEC systems
will also play a key role in the chemical, utilities, and steel
industries as they are adopting green hydrogen to replace fossil
fuels in their manufacturing processes and operations. By
leveraging Ceres' expertise in solid oxide stack technology and our
industry-leading technologies in power and thermal management,
Delta will enrich its infrastructure solutions portfolio by
delivering high-efficiency SOFC and SOEC systems for our customers
worldwide, hence, further contributing to global carbon reduction
targets."
Phil Caldwell, CEO of Ceres added , "It's great to announce a
new partnership today with Delta, a company with worldwide
expertise in mass manufacturing, power electronics and system
integration. We believe Delta can deliver efficient clean hydrogen
solutions for its customers utilising both our SOFC and SOEC
technologies. Green hydrogen has a key role to play in delivering a
more secure and sustainable future energy system and today we take
this first step towards what promises to be a strong collaboration
with Delta to accelerate the industry globally."
In addition to licensing key energy stack technologies, Delta
will also establish a "Net-zero Science Laboratory" at its Tainan
manufacturing complex to develop cutting-edge zero-carbon
technologies, including hydrogen energy, and to enrich its own
R&D capabilities in related application fields. From 2024 to
2026, Delta expects to carry out product development and production
line integration at its Tainan plant with Ceres' engineering
service support. Production for the aforementioned technology is
expected to start by the end of 2026. Delta expects to further
integrate its diverse smart energy solutions, including microgrid
applications and energy management platforms, with these hydrogen
energy systems to provide a more comprehensive and flexible
low-carbon infrastructure offerings to its customers.
Ceres' stack technology is the core for both SOFC and SOEC. In
the application of SOFC, it can generate electricity, water and
heat by reacting oxygen with hydrogen or methane. Its power
generation efficiency, which is around 60% and can even reach 85%
with a heat recovery system, is significantly higher than the
efficiency of centralized gas-fired power generation units, which
are around 4050%. As SOFC can be built near places with electricity
demands, it is able to avoid power transmission loss and other
unexpected unstable factors during the transmission and
distribution process. Hence, it's highly suitable for facilities
that require stable power.
SOEC technology produces hydrogen up to 25% more efficiently
than incumbent low temperature technologies particularly when
thermally integrated with industrial processes. With electricity
coming from renewable sources, the technology can produce green
hydrogen, which would be optimal for the decarbonisation of various
industries, including steel and chemical, which are seeking to
replace the fossil-based materials in their processes to ultimately
reduce carbon emissions. Green hydrogen is also one of the key
ingredients to produce carbon-neutral e-fuels, with the support of
carbon capture technology for its carbon sources. E-fuels are
alternative energy sources for ICE vehicles, ships and aircrafts
under the net-zero transition.
Ceres, headquartered in Horsham, the UK and listed on the London
Stock Exchange since 2023, has been perfecting its solid oxide
technology for more than 20 years, with an industry-leading
position in fuel cell and electrochemical technology. Ceres
operates a licensing business model.
With global energy transition trends, it is expected that the
global demand for hydrogen will reach 223 Mt in 2030, and 630 Mt in
2050*. Hydrogen applications will play a crucial role in achieving
net zero targets.
