ENERGY CAPITAL
ENERGY CAPITALCarbon Capture for Petroleum Refining in Houston
Many carbon capture and utilization (CCU) pathways require green hydrogen to convert captured CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative.

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 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.
