Lower H2 Feedstock Cost

Hydrogen accounts for roughly 70% of ammonia production costs. IONZERA's lower cell voltage directly reduces the cost of the H2 feedstock entering the Haber-Bosch reactor.

Continuous Operation Compatibility

Ammonia synthesis requires a steady hydrogen supply. IONZERA's robust PSU-TiO2-GO construction and 2.7 MPa tensile strength support continuous, high-utilization electrolyser operation.

Scale-Ready Supply

Green ammonia plants are planned at hundreds of MW to multi-GW scale. IONZERA's mesh-free manufacturing scales efficiently to meet the membrane volumes these projects demand.

Ammonia Production in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's steel heritage is transforming into a clean steel future through hydrogen-based direct reduction. The city hosts major steel research institutions and industrial gas companies investing in electrolyser-based hydrogen for decarbonization. Pittsburgh is also part of the Appalachian hydrogen hub initiative.

For Pittsburgh steel decarbonization projects, the cost of hydrogen is the key economic variable. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the competitiveness of green hydrogen vs conventional processes.
