Biogas Upgrading for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM

Biological methanation converts the CO2 fraction of biogas into additional methane using green hydrogen. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

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 NEOM

NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.

At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get IONZERA biogas upgrading membranes in NEOM?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to NEOM, Saudi Arabia. Air freight from India to NEOM (via Tabuk) in 3-5 business days

Why use IONZERA for biogas upgrading in NEOM?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for biogas upgrading applications. At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable.

What is NEOM's green hydrogen production target?

NEOM targets 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen, converted to green ammonia for export. This requires GW-scale electrolysis capacity, creating massive demand for high-performance AWE membranes.
