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 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.
