Cost-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.

Carbon Capture in Belgium’s Hydrogen Market

Belgium plays a strategic role in Europe's hydrogen landscape, both as a technology hub and transit corridor. The port of Antwerp is a major chemical and refining cluster with significant hydrogen demand. Belgium is also home to Zirfon manufacturing, making it a natural market for demonstrating IONZERA's superior performance credentials.

In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance. Belgian electrolyser developers and research institutions can directly benchmark IONZERA against the incumbent, validating the performance improvements in their own testing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for carbon capture in Belgium?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for carbon capture applications in Belgium. In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance.

Why consider IONZERA when Zirfon is produced locally in Belgium?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance than Zirfon PERL UTP 500, enabling significantly more efficient electrolysis. For Belgian projects prioritizing performance and competitive TCO, IONZERA provides measurable advantages even accounting for shipping from India.

Can IONZERA be tested alongside Zirfon in the same electrolyser?

Yes. IONZERA is designed as a drop-in replacement for Zirfon in standard AWE stacks. It operates in the same 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C, enabling direct side-by-side performance comparison.
