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 Japan’s Hydrogen Market

Japan's "Hydrogen Society" vision is among the world's most ambitious, targeting hydrogen across power generation, transport, and industry. While Japan has traditionally focused on PEM technology, the scale economics of alkaline electrolysis are driving renewed interest in AWE for large-scale production. Japanese trading houses and engineering firms are investing in global hydrogen supply chains.

For Japanese hydrogen projects requiring high-efficiency alkaline electrolysis, IONZERA provides a performance advantage with its 3x lower resistance. Japanese engineering precision and quality standards align well with IONZERA's advanced nanocomposite engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for biogas upgrading in Japan?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for biogas upgrading applications in Japan. For Japanese hydrogen projects requiring high-efficiency alkaline electrolysis, IONZERA provides a performance advantage with its 3x lower resistance.

Is alkaline electrolysis relevant to Japan's hydrogen strategy?

Yes. While Japan has historically invested in PEM technology, the cost advantage of alkaline electrolysis at GW scale is driving renewed AWE interest. IONZERA makes AWE even more competitive with its 3x lower resistance, bridging the efficiency gap with PEM at a fraction of the membrane cost.

What delivery options are available for Japan?

Air freight from Bengaluru to Tokyo or Osaka in 4-6 business days. Sea freight for volume orders with 2-3 week transit. G-Hexa provides direct technical support and sample shipments.
