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 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.
