Industries

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 France’s Hydrogen Market

France has committed EUR 7.2 billion to its hydrogen strategy, targeting 6.5 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030. With strong nuclear baseload power and growing renewable capacity, France has a cost-competitive electricity base for green hydrogen production. Industrial hydrogen demand from refineries and chemical plants in Lyon, Marseille, and the Rhone valley drives near-term electrolysis deployment.

IONZERA's 3x lower resistance improves electrolyser efficiency, complementing France's low-carbon electricity advantage. For French OEMs and project developers, IONZERA offers diversified sourcing with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for glass manufacturing in France?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for glass manufacturing applications in France. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance improves electrolyser efficiency, complementing France's low-carbon electricity advantage.

How does IONZERA fit France's hydrogen decarbonization strategy?

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, improving the economics of electrolysis powered by France's nuclear and renewable electricity mix. This directly supports France's 6.5 GW electrolyser deployment target.

Can IONZERA be delivered to French industrial hydrogen projects?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA globally via air freight (5-7 days to France) or sea freight for volume orders. Technical support and sample requests are handled directly by the G-Hexa team.
