3x Lower Cell Voltage Drop

Area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 vs Zirfon's 0.30 ohm-cm2 reduces the voltage penalty across the membrane by approximately 0.08V per cell at typical operating current densities.

Drop-In Stack Compatibility

IONZERA is fully compatible with standard AWE operating conditions: 30 wt% KOH electrolyte, temperatures up to 45 degrees C, and current densities from 0.2-0.6 A/cm2. No frame modifications required.

Mesh-Free Uniform Performance

Without PPS mesh reinforcement, IONZERA provides more consistent pore distribution across the entire active area, reducing localized hot spots and non-uniform current distribution in large-format cells.

Compact Stack Design

At 350-410 um, IONZERA is 20-30% thinner than Zirfon, enabling higher cell density per stack length and reducing overall stack weight and footprint.

Alkaline Water Electrolysis in New Zealand’s Hydrogen Market

New Zealand's abundant geothermal and wind resources provide low-cost renewable electricity for green hydrogen production. The country's dairy and agricultural sectors create demand for green ammonia, while heavy transport and remote communities present opportunities for hydrogen fuel.

IONZERA provides New Zealand with a high-performance AWE membrane accessible via the India-Oceania trade corridor, offering competitive pricing and shorter delivery than European alternatives.
