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 Houston
Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative. The city's concentration of refineries, petrochemical complexes, and industrial gas companies creates the largest hydrogen demand center in North America. Houston's energy industry expertise is rapidly pivoting toward clean hydrogen production.
For Houston hydrogen projects seeking to maximize IRA production tax credits, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces electricity cost per kg of H2. This improves net returns from the $3/kg PTC. IONZERA also diversifies membrane supply for American electrolyser OEMs beyond single-source European dependency.
