ENERGY CAPITAL
ENERGY CAPITALFertilizer & Urea Production for Petroleum Refining in Houston
Global food security depends on nitrogen fertilizers, which depend on ammonia, which depends on hydrogen. Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative.

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 Houston
Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative. The city's concentration of refineries, petrochemical complexes, and industrial gas companies creates the largest hydrogen demand center in North America. Houston's energy industry expertise is rapidly pivoting toward clean hydrogen production.
For Houston hydrogen projects seeking to maximize IRA production tax credits, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces electricity cost per kg of H2. This improves net returns from the $3/kg PTC. IONZERA also diversifies membrane supply for American electrolyser OEMs beyond single-source European dependency.
