Cement Industry Decarbonization for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM

Cement production is responsible for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

Kiln Fuel Switching

Green hydrogen can partially replace fossil fuels in cement kilns, directly reducing combustion-related CO2 emissions without major modifications to existing kiln systems.

CO2 Utilization Enabler

Cement plants produce concentrated CO2 from calcination. Green hydrogen enables conversion of this CO2 to synthetic fuels or chemicals via Power-to-X pathways.

Cost-Effective H2 Supply

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the cost of green hydrogen, improving the economics of both fuel switching and CCU pathways for cement decarbonization.

Cement Industry Decarbonization in NEOM

NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.

At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get IONZERA cement industry decarbonization membranes in NEOM?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to NEOM, Saudi Arabia. Air freight from India to NEOM (via Tabuk) in 3-5 business days

Why use IONZERA for cement industry decarbonization in NEOM?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for cement industry decarbonization applications. At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable.

What is NEOM's green hydrogen production target?

NEOM targets 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen, converted to green ammonia for export. This requires GW-scale electrolysis capacity, creating massive demand for high-performance AWE membranes.
