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 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.
