Industries

Contaminant-Free Hydrogen

Electrolytic hydrogen is produced from water and electricity, inherently free from the hydrocarbon residues that can be present in SMR-derived hydrogen. Ideal for food-contact applications.

On-Demand Generation

Match hydrogen production to processing schedules. IONZERA's rapid wetting properties support start-stop operation patterns common in batch food processing.

Regulatory Compliance Support

On-site electrolytic hydrogen simplifies compliance with food safety regulations by providing a transparent, traceable gas source with consistent purity.

Food-Grade Hydrogen in India’s Hydrogen Market

India's National Green Hydrogen Mission commits INR 19,744 crore to building a domestic green hydrogen ecosystem. The country targets 125 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030, creating massive demand for high-performance AWE separator membranes. With refineries, fertilizer plants, and steel mills concentrated across Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu, India represents the fastest-growing alkaline electrolysis market globally.

IONZERA is manufactured by G-Hexa Research Center in Bengaluru, making it the only domestically produced high-performance AWE membrane in India. This eliminates import duties, reduces lead times to 2-5 days for any Indian city, and aligns with Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives. Indian electrolyser OEMs and project developers benefit from rupee-denominated pricing and direct technical support.
