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 Chennai

Chennai and the Tamil Nadu industrial corridor are home to major automotive manufacturing, petroleum refining, and chemical processing operations. The state's aggressive renewable energy targets and industrial hydrogen demand make it a key market for alkaline electrolysis deployment. Tamil Nadu's growing wind and solar capacity provides renewable electricity for green hydrogen production.

Chennai is just 1-2 days from the IONZERA manufacturing facility in Bengaluru, providing the fastest delivery outside the manufacturing city itself. Tamil Nadu's automotive and refinery sectors benefit from IONZERA's efficiency improvements for on-site hydrogen production at competitive domestic pricing.
