More Methane from Every Biogas Plant

Raw biogas contains 35-45% CO2. Adding green H2 via methanation converts this CO2 to CH4, increasing biomethane output by up to 70% without additional feedstock.

Lower H2 Production Cost

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the cost of the hydrogen input, the primary variable cost in biological methanation, improving the economics of biogas upgrading.

Compact Electrolyser Integration

IONZERA's thin profile enables compact electrolyser stacks that fit within the footprint constraints of existing biogas plant sites, simplifying retrofit installations.

Biogas Upgrading in Austria’s Hydrogen Market

Austria's steel industry, centered around Linz, is actively pursuing hydrogen-based steelmaking. Combined with Alpine hydropower resources, Austria has strong fundamentals for green hydrogen production to decarbonize its industrial base.

IONZERA enables Austrian steel and industrial projects to achieve lower hydrogen production costs through superior membrane efficiency.
