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 Brazil’s Hydrogen Market

Brazil's exceptional wind and solar resources, especially in the Northeast, position it as a global green hydrogen export powerhouse. The country's established ethanol and biodiesel infrastructure provides a template for scaling hydrogen. Port cities are developing hydrogen export terminals.

IONZERA's efficiency improvements reduce the cost of Brazilian green hydrogen, strengthening the export case for South American hydrogen and ammonia in European and Asian markets.
