EUROPEAN H2 HUB

Food-Grade Hydrogen for Port Hydrogen Infrastructure in Rotterdam

The food industry requires high-purity hydrogen for edible oil hydrogenation and modified atmosphere packaging. Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale electrolysis.

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 Rotterdam

Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale electrolysis. The city's refinery and chemical cluster, combined with North Sea offshore wind, positions Rotterdam at the center of European hydrogen trade and production.

For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of the massive electrolysis capacity planned for the Rotterdam port area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get IONZERA food-grade hydrogen membranes in Rotterdam?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to Rotterdam, Netherlands. Air freight from India in 5-7 business days

Why use IONZERA for food-grade hydrogen in Rotterdam?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for food-grade hydrogen applications. For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium.

How does IONZERA compare to locally sourced Zirfon for Rotterdam projects?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner, and uses mesh-free architecture. These performance advantages outweigh Zirfon's geographic proximity to Rotterdam.
