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.

Green Hydrogen Production in Belgium’s Hydrogen Market

Belgium plays a strategic role in Europe's hydrogen landscape, both as a technology hub and transit corridor. The port of Antwerp is a major chemical and refining cluster with significant hydrogen demand. Belgium is also home to Zirfon manufacturing, making it a natural market for demonstrating IONZERA's superior performance credentials.

In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance. Belgian electrolyser developers and research institutions can directly benchmark IONZERA against the incumbent, validating the performance improvements in their own testing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for green hydrogen production in Belgium?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for green hydrogen production applications in Belgium. In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance.

Why consider IONZERA when Zirfon is produced locally in Belgium?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance than Zirfon PERL UTP 500, enabling significantly more efficient electrolysis. For Belgian projects prioritizing performance and competitive TCO, IONZERA provides measurable advantages even accounting for shipping from India.

Can IONZERA be tested alongside Zirfon in the same electrolyser?

Yes. IONZERA is designed as a drop-in replacement for Zirfon in standard AWE stacks. It operates in the same 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C, enabling direct side-by-side performance comparison.
