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 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.
