Can SOEC tip the balance on green ammonia costs?
The promise of green ammonia is vast. But without breakthroughs in production and scale, it risks remaining more aspiration than solution.
The sector must develop new production technologies and integrate them with renewables. It also needs the infrastructure and market conditions to scale before ammonia can realise its role in clean hydrogen.
Among the biggest hurdles is cost. Electricity makes up 40–50% of production, putting efficiency at the centre of competitiveness.
Ceres is betting on solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC). Designed to operate at high temperatures, the system could enable green ammonia at scale.
