Ceres Power Holdings PLC (LSE:CWR) (LON:CWR) said its Korean partner plans a small-scale roll-out of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system for buildings and houses next year.
Doosan Corporation is doing so after completing development work on a 10-kilowatt unit, which uses two of Ceres’ 5KW SOFC stacks.
The new system, which is 40% more power-efficient than the current equivalent Doosan fuel cell product, is the size of 5KW units on the market in Korea.
Fuel cell technology is taking off in the country as a result of green regulation at both national and local government level.
Chief executive Phil Caldwell added: "This is another example of Ceres enabling the energy transition through embedding our unique technology in the products of world-class companies and reinforces our view that Korea will be a leading market for hydrogen and fuel cells."
