Reliable Reducing Atmosphere Supply

Float glass tin baths operate 24/7 and cannot tolerate hydrogen supply interruptions. On-site electrolysis with IONZERA membranes ensures continuous, demand-matched H2 generation.

Lower Per-Unit H2 Cost

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the electricity cost of on-site hydrogen generation compared to less efficient electrolyser membranes.

Decarbonize Glass Production

Replacing delivered fossil-derived hydrogen with renewable-powered on-site electrolysis reduces the carbon footprint of glass manufacturing.

Glass Manufacturing in Australia’s Hydrogen Market

Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy targets the country as a top-three global hydrogen exporter by 2030. With vast solar and wind resources across Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia, plus established LNG export infrastructure, Australia is building a comprehensive hydrogen supply chain. Mining operations provide both export infrastructure and hydrogen demand.

IONZERA helps Australian hydrogen projects achieve competitive export pricing through lower production costs. The India-Australia trade corridor provides faster and more cost-effective membrane supply compared to European sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for glass manufacturing in Australia?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for glass manufacturing applications in Australia. IONZERA helps Australian hydrogen projects achieve competitive export pricing through lower production costs.

How does IONZERA support Australia's hydrogen export ambitions?

IONZERA's 3x lower resistance reduces hydrogen production costs, improving the economics of Australian green hydrogen for export to Japan, South Korea, and other Asian markets. Competitive membrane pricing from India further reduces total stack costs.

What is the delivery time for IONZERA to Australia?

Air freight from Bengaluru to Australian cities takes 5-7 business days. Sea freight for volume orders requires 2-3 weeks. The India-Australia shipping corridor is well-served by multiple carriers.
