Industries

Decarbonize the Food Chain

Fertilizer production accounts for approximately 1.5% of global CO2 emissions. Replacing grey hydrogen with green electrolytic H2 directly addresses this carbon-intensive step in the food supply chain.

Reduce Feedstock Cost

Hydrogen represents the largest variable cost in ammonia-based fertilizer production. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces this dominant input cost.

Scale for Agricultural Demand

Global fertilizer production requires hundreds of millions of tonnes of ammonia. IONZERA's scalable, mesh-free manufacturing supports the massive membrane volumes needed for this transition.

Fertilizer & Urea Production 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.
