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 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.
