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 Sweden’s Hydrogen Market

Sweden is pioneering fossil-free steelmaking, with hydrogen-based direct reduction iron (H-DRI) projects requiring massive green hydrogen supply. The country's abundant hydropower and wind resources provide low-cost renewable electricity for electrolysis. Gothenburg and northern Sweden are the focal points for hydrogen-intensive industrial transformation.

IONZERA's efficiency improvements directly reduce the hydrogen production cost critical for making H-DRI steelmaking economically viable against conventional blast furnace routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for glass manufacturing in Sweden?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for glass manufacturing applications in Sweden. IONZERA's efficiency improvements directly reduce the hydrogen production cost critical for making H-DRI steelmaking economically viable against conventional blast furnace routes.

How does IONZERA support fossil-free steel production in Sweden?

Fossil-free steel via hydrogen direct reduction requires massive quantities of green hydrogen at the lowest possible cost. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces electricity consumption per kg of H2, directly improving the economics of H-DRI steelmaking.
