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 United Kingdom’s Hydrogen Market

The UK targets 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with a mix of electrolytic and CCUS-enabled hydrogen. Scotland's Aberdeen is emerging as a hydrogen hub leveraging North Sea wind resources and existing oil and gas infrastructure. Industrial clusters in Humberside and Teesside are early movers in hydrogen adoption.

IONZERA provides UK hydrogen projects with a high-performance membrane that improves wind-to-hydrogen economics. Supply chain diversification away from single-source European membrane suppliers strengthens UK project resilience.
