MEGA PROJECT
MEGA PROJECTMethanol Synthesis for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM
E-methanol produced from green hydrogen and captured CO2 is emerging as a key sustainable shipping fuel and chemical feedstock. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

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 NEOM
NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.
At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.
