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 Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's steel heritage is transforming into a clean steel future through hydrogen-based direct reduction. The city hosts major steel research institutions and industrial gas companies investing in electrolyser-based hydrogen for decarbonization. Pittsburgh is also part of the Appalachian hydrogen hub initiative.

For Pittsburgh steel decarbonization projects, the cost of hydrogen is the key economic variable. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the competitiveness of green hydrogen vs conventional processes.
