Carbon Capture for Chemical Processing in Lyon

Many carbon capture and utilization (CCU) pathways require green hydrogen to convert captured CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes corridor form one of France's primary hydrogen valleys, combining chemical industry demand with nuclear and renewable electricity for electrolysis.

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 Lyon

Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes corridor form one of France's primary hydrogen valleys, combining chemical industry demand with nuclear and renewable electricity for electrolysis. The region hosts hydrogen mobility projects and industrial decarbonization initiatives.

For Lyon's hydrogen valley projects, IONZERA provides 3x lower resistance than conventional separators, improving electrolysis efficiency. Air freight from India takes 5-7 days, with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.
