Industries
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 China’s Hydrogen Market
China operates the world's largest alkaline electrolyser manufacturing base and is the dominant market for AWE systems globally. With aggressive renewable energy deployment in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and coastal provinces, China's green hydrogen capacity is scaling from GW to tens of GW. The domestic alkaline electrolyser market is intensely competitive, creating demand for differentiated membrane technology.
For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator. The mesh-free design and advanced nanocomposite composition represent a next-generation technology leap for stacks targeting export markets with stringent performance requirements.

Why choose IONZERA for biogas upgrading in China?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for biogas upgrading applications in China. For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator.
How does IONZERA compare to Chinese domestic AWE membranes?
IONZERA's proprietary PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite achieves 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 area resistance, which is significantly lower than most domestic Chinese AWE separators. The mesh-free architecture and graphene oxide enhancement provide a technology generation leap.
Can Chinese electrolyser OEMs integrate IONZERA as a drop-in membrane?
Yes. IONZERA operates in standard 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C and is compatible with standard AWE stack designs. It is a direct replacement for existing separators without requiring frame or system modifications.
