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 Germany’s Hydrogen Market

Germany's National Hydrogen Strategy positions the country as a global leader in hydrogen technology. With EUR 9 billion allocated to hydrogen infrastructure, German electrolyser OEMs and project developers are scaling rapidly. The industrial heartland of North Rhine-Westphalia, combined with hydrogen hubs in Hamburg and Bavaria, creates sustained demand for high-performance AWE membranes that can reduce production costs.

For German electrolyser manufacturers currently dependent on Zirfon from Belgium, IONZERA offers supply chain diversification with superior technical performance. With 3x lower area resistance and 20% thinner profile, IONZERA enables German OEMs to differentiate their electrolysers on efficiency. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing reduces stack BOM costs without compromising quality.
