Hydrogen fuel cell test facility opens in UK

The site was officially opened by Mr Atsushi Horiba, Chairman and Group CEO, HORIBA Ltd, alongside Mark Garrett, Chief Operating Officer at Ceres, and Baroness Martha Lane-Fox, President of British Chambers of Commerce.

The facility, first announced in March 2022 upon the selection of HORIBA MIRA’s headquarters as the site, significantly expands Ceres’ UK test capacity, complementing the company’s established centres in the UK.

The development of the facility forms part of a long-term agreement between Ceres, a developer of clean energy technology, and HORIBA MIRA, an international automotive engineering and testing consultancy, and is aimed at expanding the UK’s delivery of new fuel cell and hydrogen technology to international markets.

In addition to the new testing facilities, the scope of works also spans the design, manufacture and certification of fuel cell testing systems by the wider HORIBA group.

Mark Garrett, Chief Operating Officer at Ceres, said: “The opening of this testing facility demonstrates the credibility of the growth plans we have at Ceres. The culmination of high growth technology and trusted testing means Ceres will be able to expand its global operations and position itself at the forefront of the international hydrogen economy and efforts to reach net zero.
