MININGGreen Hydrogen for Mining Operations
Mining is one of the hardest-to-abate sectors. On-site hydrogen production from renewables using IONZERA membranes powers fuel cell haul trucks and replaces fossil fuels in mineral processing.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GORemote Site Self-Sufficiency
Mines often operate far from hydrogen supply infrastructure. On-site electrolysis with IONZERA membranes, powered by solar or wind, enables hydrogen self-sufficiency at remote locations.
Fuel Cell Haul Truck Support
Major mining companies are trialing hydrogen fuel cell haul trucks. On-site production provides the fueling infrastructure these vehicles need without long-distance H2 transport.
Robust Performance
IONZERA's 2.7 MPa tensile strength and stable PSU-TiO2-GO matrix provide the mechanical and chemical durability needed for continuous operation in demanding mine site environments.
Hydrogen's Role in Mining Decarbonization
The mining industry faces mounting pressure to decarbonize its operations. Diesel-powered haul trucks, drill rigs, and loaders are major emission sources, while mineral processing operations consume significant thermal energy from fossil fuels. Green hydrogen produced on-site from renewable electricity offers a pathway to address both of these challenges.
Major mining companies including Anglo American, Fortescue, and BHP are investing in hydrogen fuel cell haul trucks and hydrogen-based mineral processing. This creates growing demand for efficient, reliable hydrogen production capability at mine sites, often located in remote areas with excellent renewable energy resources.
On-Site Hydrogen Production at Mine Sites
Mine sites are well-suited to on-site electrolysis for several reasons:
Nanocomposite Structure
PSU-TiO₂-GOLower Resistance
Thinner Profile
Partnership with Mining Industry
G-Hexa engages with mining companies, mine equipment OEMs, and mining service providers to deliver IONZERA membranes for mine-site hydrogen production systems. India's mining sector, a major global player in iron ore, coal, bauxite, and rare earths, represents a natural home market for IONZERA-based hydrogen solutions.
