DENSO Corporation announced that it has signed a manufacturing license agreement with Ceres Power Holdings (CWR.L), a pioneering developer of solid oxide cell stack technology.
DENSO aims to advance the early practical application of Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs) that produce hydrogen through water electrolysis.
Application of SOECs
Ceres has unique solid oxide technology joining metal and ceramic that leads to version
Cell stacks are one of the components of SOECs, playing a role in separating steam into hydrogen and oxygen. Ceres has unique solid oxide technology joining metal and ceramic that leads to high-output performance.
DENSO aims to realize mass production of high-quality cell stacks by utilizing Ceres’ technology with the company’s expertise of ceramic technology it has built in the automotive field, and to achieve the early practical application of SOECs with the company’s system technology including thermal management, system control and so forth.
Hydrogen utilization technologies
Hydrogen is one of the pioneering next-generation energy sources to realize a carbon-neutral society, and its technology development is selected depending on the location, scale and application.
DENSO will continue to promote various development of hydrogen utilization technologies through collaboration with partners both domestically and internationally, contributing to the creation of a carbon-neutral society.
