This new fuel cell system is a 4.2kW combined heat and power
unit (CHP) targeting the commercial building sector in Japan. The
units will provide both clean energy and hot water to commercial
buildings, in a highly efficient and low carbon manner.
The product launch is the culmination of a collaboration between
Ceres and Miura first announced in December 2016. Field trials in
Japan are underway with first commercial launch expected with a
select number of customers from October 2019. Volumes are expected
to grow thereafter.
Japan is one of the most advanced markets in the world for fuel
cells and a key market for Ceres. Given its importance to the
energy supply chain, the Japanese Government published "The Basic
Hydrogen Strategy" in 2017 and "The Strategic Road Map for Hydrogen
and Fuel Cells" in 2019 to show the vision of a "Hydrogen Society"
and the role of hydrogen in a cleaner energy future. In addition to
fuel cell vehicle and fuel cells for households, the deployment of
stationary fuel cells in the commercial and industrial building
sector is another area of focus for the Japanese government’s
strategy.
The launch highlights the core elements of Ceres’ business
model, focused on multi-year development partnerships with global
OEMs, to jointly develop products using Ceres technology. In
addition to its work in Japan with Miura, Ceres also has
significant partnerships with Bosch and Weichai and expects to be
able to announce further commercial progress in due course.
Phil Caldwell, CEO of Ceres Power said:
“This product launch with Miura, a first for Ceres, is another
important commercial milestone and continues our track record of
successfully working with leading Japanese companies. Japan is an
exciting market for the SteelCell®, where awareness of the
advantages of full cell technology is high. The Japanese government
has a clear hydrogen strategy and fully recognises the important
role of fuel cells in the vision for realising a low carbon
future.”
