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 Cape Town

Cape Town is part of South Africa's growing hydrogen and electrochemical sector. South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban.

IONZERA provides Cape Town-based projects with a next-generation AWE separator membrane featuring 3x lower resistance than conventional alternatives. G-Hexa ships globally from India with competitive pricing and responsive technical support.
