MARITIMEGreen Hydrogen for Maritime Fuel Cells
Hydrogen fuel cell vessels require reliable, cost-effective hydrogen bunkering infrastructure. IONZERA-equipped electrolysers at ports and terminals produce the green H2 that zero-emission shipping demands.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GOLower Bunkering H2 Cost
Port-side electrolysis with IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces the cost of hydrogen produced for maritime bunkering, improving the economics of fuel cell shipping.
Modular Port Infrastructure
IONZERA's compact stack design enables modular electrolyser installations that can scale with growing port hydrogen demand as the fuel cell vessel fleet expands.
Proven Material Reliability
Maritime hydrogen supply demands absolute reliability. IONZERA's 2.7 MPa tensile strength and chemically stable PSU-TiO2-GO matrix support continuous operation for critical port infrastructure.
The Maritime Hydrogen Opportunity
International shipping accounts for approximately 3% of global CO2 emissions, and the International Maritime Organization has adopted increasingly ambitious decarbonization targets. Hydrogen fuel cells offer a pathway to zero-emission shipping for coastal vessels, ferries, tugs, and smaller cargo ships, with longer-range applications served by hydrogen-derived fuels like ammonia and methanol.
All hydrogen-powered maritime solutions require efficient production infrastructure at ports and bunkering terminals. Alkaline electrolysis using IONZERA membranes provides the large-scale, cost-effective green hydrogen production that maritime decarbonization demands.
Port-Side Hydrogen Production
Producing hydrogen at or near ports using on-site electrolysis eliminates the cost and complexity of long-distance hydrogen transport:

Beyond Direct Hydrogen: Maritime Fuel Pathways
While direct hydrogen is optimal for short-range maritime applications, longer routes increasingly look to hydrogen-derived fuels. Green ammonia and e-methanol, both produced from electrolytic hydrogen, are leading candidates for deep-sea shipping fuel. IONZERA-equipped electrolysers serve all of these pathways, providing the efficient hydrogen production that underpins every maritime fuel alternative.
G-Hexa engages with port authorities, maritime fuel infrastructure developers, and naval architects to provide membrane solutions for port-based hydrogen production systems.
