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 Saudi Arabia’s Hydrogen Market

Saudi Arabia is building the world's largest green hydrogen facility at NEOM, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for ammonia export. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 diversification strategy positions hydrogen as a key non-oil revenue stream. With world-class solar irradiance and massive capital deployment, Saudi Arabia is becoming a cornerstone of the global hydrogen trade.

For Saudi mega-projects requiring world-scale electrolysis, IONZERA's efficiency improvements compound at scale. Every 0.01V reduction in cell voltage across thousands of cells translates to significant CAPEX and OPEX savings. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing further strengthens the cost case.
