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 Italy’s Hydrogen Market

Italy's hydrogen strategy targets industrial decarbonization across its chemical, refining, and steel sectors concentrated in Lombardy and Southern Italy. With significant solar resources in the south and industrial demand in the north, Italy is pursuing both green and blue hydrogen pathways.
