Glass Manufacturing for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM

Float glass production and specialty glass manufacturing require hydrogen for reducing atmospheres in tin baths and thermal processing. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

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 NEOM

NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.

At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get IONZERA glass manufacturing membranes in NEOM?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to NEOM, Saudi Arabia. Air freight from India to NEOM (via Tabuk) in 3-5 business days

Why use IONZERA for glass manufacturing in NEOM?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for glass manufacturing applications. At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable.

What is NEOM's green hydrogen production target?

NEOM targets 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen, converted to green ammonia for export. This requires GW-scale electrolysis capacity, creating massive demand for high-performance AWE membranes.
