On-Site Fueling Production

Depot-based electrolysis with IONZERA eliminates hydrogen transport costs, producing fuel on-site where trucks and buses refuel, simplifying logistics and reducing delivered H2 price.

Scalable with Fleet Growth

As fleet operators convert more vehicles to hydrogen, IONZERA's modular and compact electrolyser stacks scale incrementally to match growing fueling demand.

Lower Fuel Cost per Kilometer

IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, directly lowering the fuel cost for fleet operators.

Heavy Transport Hydrogen Fueling in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's steel heritage is transforming into a clean steel future through hydrogen-based direct reduction. The city hosts major steel research institutions and industrial gas companies investing in electrolyser-based hydrogen for decarbonization. Pittsburgh is also part of the Appalachian hydrogen hub initiative.

For Pittsburgh steel decarbonization projects, the cost of hydrogen is the key economic variable. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the competitiveness of green hydrogen vs conventional processes.
