Ceres Launches Endura Solid-Oxide Stack Platform for Power and Hydrogen Generation

Ceres has launched Ceres Endura, a solid-oxide stack platform targeting onsite power generation and hydrogen production for data centers and other energy-intensive applications. The platform operates on natural gas while supporting hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels.

The system can be installed and commissioned in months, avoiding extended timelines associated with grid upgrades and conventional infrastructure development. It supports high-voltage DC architectures up to 800 V and beyond, aligning with modern data center standards and enabling rapid load response from a compact footprint.

Using steel-supported cells, Ceres Endura operates at 450–630°C, lower than traditional high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells. This reduced operating temperature enables the use of widely available, cost-effective, and recyclable materials, reducing overall system costs by approximately one-third while lowering supply-chain risk. The company reports a five-year stack life and states the design supports gigawatt-scale manufacturing.

For power generation, Endura delivers more than 65% electrical efficiency on natural gas and over 90% total efficiency in combined heat and power applications. The platform supports rapid load following, emergency stops, and rapid power and thermal cycles.

For hydrogen production, Ceres reports approximately 30% higher efficiency than conventional low-temperature electrolysis when integrated with waste heat from industrial applications. The company provides business model and factory blueprint support enabling local manufacturing, access to national incentives, and global market exports.
