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 Portugal’s Hydrogen Market

Portugal's strong solar resources and Atlantic port access position it as a green hydrogen and ammonia export hub for Europe. The Sines industrial complex is developing large-scale electrolysis projects targeting both domestic industry and export markets.
