Cereals Corporation Recognized with MacRobert Engineering Prize for Outstanding Invention
Ceres Wins MacRobert Award for Pioneering Clean Energy Technology
In a significant recognition of UK engineering innovation, Ceres has been announced as the winner of the prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award. The award, which has honoured the engineers behind the UK's most exciting engineering innovations since 1969, was presented to Ceres on July 15, 2023, at a gala awards dinner.
The MacRobert Award recognizes transformative engineering innovations that demonstrate commercial viability and societal benefit. Past winners include EMI, which developed the CT scanner in 1972, and Touch Bionics, the creators of the world’s first bionic hand in 2008 [1][4].
Ceres' win marks a milestone in the clean energy sector. The company's focus on pushing the frontiers of performance in its technology is aimed at supporting decarbonization at scale and pace [2]. Ceres' technology, particularly its electrolysers, has been praised for their low conversion losses and spectacular efficiency by Professor Sir Richard Friend [3].
Ceres' fuel cell technology is capable of generating power from a range of fuels with greater efficiency than alternatives currently in the market [4]. This technology is a gamechanger for hydrogen generation, a critical step towards a net-zero future [5].
Caroline Hargrove, Ceres' Chief Technology Officer, expressed delight at the company winning the MacRobert Award. She thanked the entire Ceres team for their dedication, drive, and creativity, and also thanked the Royal Academy of Engineering for recognizing UK engineering success stories [6].
Ceres' international partnerships and licensing model are key to their efforts in tackling climate change [7]. The company is proud of being a leading example of British technology driving progress on global climate change [8].
While the 2025 winner of the MacRobert Award was OrganOx for their life-saving organ preservation technology [1][2][3][4][5], the climate-related winner for 2023 was not identified in the current search results. For a detailed list of all past winners or information on any climate-related winner specifically from 2023, further search or a direct query to the Royal Academy of Engineering website would be needed.
