Ammonia, reimagined

Ash's PhD focused on electrochemical degradation, a niche but crucial area for industrialising technology. As senior electrochemist at Ceres Power, he led the cathode degradation team in collaboration with Robert Bosch, de-risking hydrogen fuel-cell performance at scale. That experience taught him that hydrogen has fewer practical use cases than the hype suggests, and that there had to be a better material for climate impact.

Ben brings complementary skills in making systems work at scale. His background spans large-scale synthesis of liquid crystalline materials, modelling pharmaceutical processes, and process development for energy storage devices. At Ceres Power, he focused on scaling up energy materials and applying new electrode materials in commercial environments, turning lab-scale breakthroughs into manufacturable reality.
