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 Netherlands’s Hydrogen Market

The Netherlands is positioning itself as Europe's hydrogen gateway, with the Port of Rotterdam developing into a major hydrogen import and production hub. Dutch industrial clusters in chemicals, refining, and steel are among the first in Europe to commit to large-scale green hydrogen adoption. The proximity to the North Sea wind corridor further accelerates offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects.

For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of large-scale electrolysis projects crucial for the Netherlands' hydrogen hub ambitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for biogas upgrading in Netherlands?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for biogas upgrading applications in Netherlands. For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon.

Can IONZERA support large-scale Rotterdam hydrogen hub projects?

Yes. IONZERA is designed for both pilot and MW-scale AWE systems. Its 3x lower resistance improves stack efficiency at scale, and G-Hexa can supply volume quantities for large Dutch hydrogen infrastructure projects.

How does IONZERA compare to locally available Zirfon membranes?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner (350-410 vs 500 um), and uses a mesh-free design vs Zirfon's PPS mesh reinforcement. These advantages translate to more efficient electrolysis at lower stack costs.
