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 Melbourne

Melbourne and Victoria are developing as a hydrogen technology and export hub, with hydrogen projects leveraging offshore wind and solar resources. The city hosts hydrogen research institutions and clean energy companies driving Australia's hydrogen export strategy.

Melbourne hydrogen projects benefit from IONZERA's competitive pricing via the India-Australia trade corridor (5-7 day delivery) and 3x lower resistance that improves export hydrogen economics.
