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 Houston
Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative. The city's concentration of refineries, petrochemical complexes, and industrial gas companies creates the largest hydrogen demand center in North America. Houston's energy industry expertise is rapidly pivoting toward clean hydrogen production.
For Houston hydrogen projects seeking to maximize IRA production tax credits, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces electricity cost per kg of H2. This improves net returns from the $3/kg PTC. IONZERA also diversifies membrane supply for American electrolyser OEMs beyond single-source European dependency.
