GREEN HYDROGEN

Produce Green Hydrogen More Efficiently with IONZERA

Electricity accounts for 60-80% of the levelized cost of hydrogen. IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance directly reduces this dominant cost, making green H2 projects more economically viable.

Lower Levelized Cost of Hydrogen

By reducing the voltage drop across the membrane by approximately 0.08V per cell, IONZERA lowers the specific energy consumption (kWh/kg H2), directly cutting the electricity component of LCOH.

Bankable Performance Data

IONZERA specifications are measured using standardized electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 30 wt% KOH, providing the verified performance data that project financiers and EPC contractors require.

Supply Chain Diversification

Sourcing membranes from G-Hexa in India diversifies the supply chain away from sole-source European dependence, reducing project risk for GW-scale deployments.

Scalable Manufacturing

IONZERA's mesh-free production process is inherently simpler to scale than mesh-reinforced alternatives, supporting the rapid capacity ramp needed for the green hydrogen buildout.

The Economics of Green Hydrogen

Green hydrogen produced via renewable-powered water electrolysis is essential for decarbonizing heavy industry, long-duration energy storage, and sustainable fuel production. However, achieving cost parity with grey hydrogen from steam methane reforming requires relentless optimization of electrolyser efficiency and capital costs.

The separator membrane is one of the few components where a material improvement yields compounding returns over the entire plant lifetime. IONZERA's area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 versus Zirfon's 0.30 ohm-cm2 reduces the membrane's contribution to cell voltage by roughly two-thirds, saving electricity every hour the plant operates for 20 or more years.

Impact on Project-Level LCOH

For a green hydrogen project, the membrane resistance improvement flows through to the LCOH calculation in multiple ways:

Direct electricity savings from lower cell voltage at any given current density
Potential to operate at higher current densities while maintaining acceptable efficiency, increasing H2 output per unit of stack capacity
Reduced cooling load because less energy is wasted as resistive heat in the membrane
Lower CapEx contribution from membrane costs due to mesh-free manufacturing

Supporting the Global Green Hydrogen Buildout

The IEA projects that 850 GW of electrolyser capacity will be needed by 2030 to meet net-zero targets. This requires massive scaling of every electrolyser component, including separator membranes. IONZERA's mesh-free design is inherently easier to scale because it eliminates the specialized PPS fabric supply chain that constrains Zirfon production.

Manufactured in India by G-Hexa, IONZERA is positioned to serve the rapidly growing hydrogen economies of South Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, where some of the world's largest green hydrogen projects are being developed.
