Lower H2 Input Cost

Methanol synthesis requires approximately 190 kg of H2 per tonne of product. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces the electricity cost of this hydrogen input, directly improving e-methanol economics.

High-Purity Hydrogen Output

Gas crossover below 0.5% H2 in O2 ensures the hydrogen feed meets the purity specifications for methanol synthesis catalysts, minimizing downstream purification requirements.

Scale-Ready Manufacturing

E-methanol projects are being planned at 100,000+ tonne-per-year scale, requiring large electrolyser installations. IONZERA's mesh-free production scales to meet these demands.

Methanol Synthesis in France’s Hydrogen Market

France has committed EUR 7.2 billion to its hydrogen strategy, targeting 6.5 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030. With strong nuclear baseload power and growing renewable capacity, France has a cost-competitive electricity base for green hydrogen production. Industrial hydrogen demand from refineries and chemical plants in Lyon, Marseille, and the Rhone valley drives near-term electrolysis deployment.

IONZERA's 3x lower resistance improves electrolyser efficiency, complementing France's low-carbon electricity advantage. For French OEMs and project developers, IONZERA offers diversified sourcing with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.
