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 Japan’s Hydrogen Market
Japan's "Hydrogen Society" vision is among the world's most ambitious, targeting hydrogen across power generation, transport, and industry. While Japan has traditionally focused on PEM technology, the scale economics of alkaline electrolysis are driving renewed interest in AWE for large-scale production. Japanese trading houses and engineering firms are investing in global hydrogen supply chains.
For Japanese hydrogen projects requiring high-efficiency alkaline electrolysis, IONZERA provides a performance advantage with its 3x lower resistance. Japanese engineering precision and quality standards align well with IONZERA's advanced nanocomposite engineering.
