CARBON CAPTURE
CARBON CAPTUREGreen Hydrogen for Carbon Capture & Utilization
Many carbon capture and utilization (CCU) pathways require green hydrogen to convert captured CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. Efficient electrolysis is the critical enabler.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GOCost-Effective H2 for CO2 Conversion
CO2 hydrogenation to methanol, methane, or synthetic fuels requires large volumes of hydrogen. IONZERA's lower electricity cost per kg H2 improves the economics of every CCU pathway.
Flexible Operation for Variable CO2 Streams
IONZERA's rapid electrolyte wetting (24-degree contact angle) supports dynamic electrolyser operation, matching hydrogen output to variable CO2 capture rates from industrial sources.
High-Purity H2 Output
Gas crossover below 0.5% H2 in O2 ensures the hydrogen stream meets the purity requirements for catalytic CO2 conversion processes without excessive downstream purification.
The Hydrogen-Carbon Capture Connection
Carbon capture technologies remove CO2 from industrial flue gases or directly from the atmosphere. However, permanent sequestration is not always feasible or economical. Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) converts this captured CO2 into useful products such as methanol, synthetic natural gas, aviation fuel, or building materials. Many of these conversion processes require substantial quantities of green hydrogen as a reactant.
The Sabatier reaction (CO2 + 4H2 to CH4 + 2H2O) and methanol synthesis (CO2 + 3H2 to CH3OH + H2O) are prime examples of CCU pathways where hydrogen cost dominates the process economics. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces this critical input cost.
Enabling Power-to-X Pathways
Power-to-X (PtX) refers to converting renewable electricity into hydrogen and then into other energy carriers or chemical products. The efficiency chain from electrons to molecules depends heavily on the electrolyser performance:
