Biogas Upgrading Membrane in United States

Biological methanation converts the CO2 fraction of biogas into additional methane using green hydrogen. The US hydrogen market is accelerating under the Inflation Reduction Act's production tax credits (up to $3/kg for clean hydrogen) and the DOE's $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program.

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 United States’s Hydrogen Market

The US hydrogen market is accelerating under the Inflation Reduction Act's production tax credits (up to $3/kg for clean hydrogen) and the DOE's $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program. Houston, Pittsburgh, and California are focal points for hydrogen production, with applications spanning refineries, steel, ammonia, and transport. American electrolyser manufacturers are scaling rapidly to capture IRA incentives.

IONZERA helps US hydrogen projects maximize IRA credits by reducing the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen through 3x lower membrane resistance. For American electrolyser OEMs, IONZERA provides a high-performance membrane source that diversifies supply beyond European single-supplier dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for biogas upgrading in United States?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for biogas upgrading applications in United States. IONZERA helps US hydrogen projects maximize IRA credits by reducing the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen through 3x lower membrane resistance.

How does IONZERA improve the economics of IRA-supported hydrogen projects?

The IRA provides up to $3/kg production tax credit for clean hydrogen. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces electricity consumption per kg of H2, lowering production costs and maximizing the net benefit of IRA incentives for alkaline electrolysis projects.

Can IONZERA be used in DOE Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub projects?

Yes. IONZERA is a drop-in replacement for conventional AWE membranes, compatible with standard alkaline electrolyser stacks. Hub projects using alkaline electrolysis can benefit from IONZERA's superior efficiency and competitive pricing.
