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 South Africa’s Hydrogen Market

South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.

IONZERA supports South Africa's Hydrogen Valley vision with efficient AWE membranes that reduce hydrogen production costs for mining, industrial, and transport applications.
