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 Netherlands’s Hydrogen Market

The Netherlands is positioning itself as Europe's hydrogen gateway, with the Port of Rotterdam developing into a major hydrogen import and production hub. Dutch industrial clusters in chemicals, refining, and steel are among the first in Europe to commit to large-scale green hydrogen adoption. The proximity to the North Sea wind corridor further accelerates offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects.

For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of large-scale electrolysis projects crucial for the Netherlands' hydrogen hub ambitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for food-grade hydrogen in Netherlands?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for food-grade hydrogen applications in Netherlands. For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon.

Can IONZERA support large-scale Rotterdam hydrogen hub projects?

Yes. IONZERA is designed for both pilot and MW-scale AWE systems. Its 3x lower resistance improves stack efficiency at scale, and G-Hexa can supply volume quantities for large Dutch hydrogen infrastructure projects.

How does IONZERA compare to locally available Zirfon membranes?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner (350-410 vs 500 um), and uses a mesh-free design vs Zirfon's PPS mesh reinforcement. These advantages translate to more efficient electrolysis at lower stack costs.
