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 Riyadh

Riyadh is the strategic center for Saudi Arabia's hydrogen ambitions under Vision 2030. The capital hosts the decision-making apparatus for the Kingdom's world-scale hydrogen projects, including NEOM's green hydrogen facility. Riyadh's proximity to major refinery operations and desalination infrastructure creates additional hydrogen demand.

For Saudi mega-projects requiring the most efficient electrolysis technology, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance provides a meaningful cost reduction that compounds across thousands of cells. G-Hexa delivers to Riyadh from India in just 3-5 days via the well-established India-Saudi trade corridor.
