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 South Africa’s Hydrogen Market

South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.

IONZERA supports South Africa's Hydrogen Valley vision with efficient AWE membranes that reduce hydrogen production costs for mining, industrial, and transport applications.
