EUROPEAN H2 HUB
EUROPEAN H2 HUBGlass Manufacturing for Port Hydrogen Infrastructure in Rotterdam
Float glass production and specialty glass manufacturing require hydrogen for reducing atmospheres in tin baths and thermal processing. Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale 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.
Glass Manufacturing in Rotterdam
Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale electrolysis. The city's refinery and chemical cluster, combined with North Sea offshore wind, positions Rotterdam at the center of European hydrogen trade and production.
For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of the massive electrolysis capacity planned for the Rotterdam port area.

Can I get IONZERA glass manufacturing membranes in Rotterdam?
Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to Rotterdam, Netherlands. Air freight from India in 5-7 business days
Why use IONZERA for glass manufacturing in Rotterdam?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for glass manufacturing applications. For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium.
How does IONZERA compare to locally sourced Zirfon for Rotterdam projects?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner, and uses mesh-free architecture. These performance advantages outweigh Zirfon's geographic proximity to Rotterdam.
