Industries

Replace Diesel Generators

Hydrogen fuel cells provide clean, quiet backup power. On-site electrolysis with IONZERA produces the H2 fuel needed, eliminating diesel storage, emissions, and noise at data center sites.

Efficient H2 Production

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the cost of producing and storing hydrogen for backup power, making fuel cell backup more competitive with diesel alternatives.

Sustainability Reporting

Green hydrogen from renewable-powered electrolysis supports data center operators' Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reduction targets and sustainability commitments.

Data Center Backup Power in China’s Hydrogen Market

China operates the world's largest alkaline electrolyser manufacturing base and is the dominant market for AWE systems globally. With aggressive renewable energy deployment in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and coastal provinces, China's green hydrogen capacity is scaling from GW to tens of GW. The domestic alkaline electrolyser market is intensely competitive, creating demand for differentiated membrane technology.

For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator. The mesh-free design and advanced nanocomposite composition represent a next-generation technology leap for stacks targeting export markets with stringent performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for data center backup power in China?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for data center backup power applications in China. For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator.

How does IONZERA compare to Chinese domestic AWE membranes?

IONZERA's proprietary PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite achieves 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 area resistance, which is significantly lower than most domestic Chinese AWE separators. The mesh-free architecture and graphene oxide enhancement provide a technology generation leap.

Can Chinese electrolyser OEMs integrate IONZERA as a drop-in membrane?

Yes. IONZERA operates in standard 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C and is compatible with standard AWE stack designs. It is a direct replacement for existing separators without requiring frame or system modifications.
