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 Saudi Arabia’s Hydrogen Market

Saudi Arabia is building the world's largest green hydrogen facility at NEOM, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for ammonia export. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 diversification strategy positions hydrogen as a key non-oil revenue stream. With world-class solar irradiance and massive capital deployment, Saudi Arabia is becoming a cornerstone of the global hydrogen trade.

For Saudi mega-projects requiring world-scale electrolysis, IONZERA's efficiency improvements compound at scale. Every 0.01V reduction in cell voltage across thousands of cells translates to significant CAPEX and OPEX savings. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing further strengthens the cost case.
