HYDROGEN VALLEY

HYDROGEN VALLEY

Glass Manufacturing for Chemical Processing in Lyon

Float glass production and specialty glass manufacturing require hydrogen for reducing atmospheres in tin baths and thermal processing. Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes corridor form one of France's primary hydrogen valleys, combining chemical industry demand with nuclear and renewable electricity for electrolysis.

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.
