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 Spain’s Hydrogen Market

Spain's abundant solar resources and industrial base make it a natural hub for green hydrogen production in Europe. The Basque Country and Catalonia host key industrial hydrogen consumers in steel, refining, and chemicals. Spain targets 4 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030, supported by some of Europe's lowest renewable electricity costs.

IONZERA's high efficiency maximizes the hydrogen output per kWh of Spanish solar electricity, improving the economics of solar-to-hydrogen projects. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing strengthens the cost case for Spanish green hydrogen.
