Industries

Lower 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.

Maritime Fuel Cell Systems in South Africa’s Hydrogen Market

South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.

IONZERA supports South Africa's Hydrogen Valley vision with efficient AWE membranes that reduce hydrogen production costs for mining, industrial, and transport applications.
