Food-Grade Hydrogen for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM

The food industry requires high-purity hydrogen for edible oil hydrogenation and modified atmosphere packaging. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

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 NEOM

NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.

At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to NEOM, Saudi Arabia. Air freight from India to NEOM (via Tabuk) in 3-5 business days

Why use IONZERA for food-grade hydrogen in NEOM?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for food-grade hydrogen applications. At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable.

What is NEOM's green hydrogen production target?

NEOM targets 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen, converted to green ammonia for export. This requires GW-scale electrolysis capacity, creating massive demand for high-performance AWE membranes.
