Remote 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.
Mining Operations Hydrogen in Belgium’s Hydrogen Market
Belgium plays a strategic role in Europe's hydrogen landscape, both as a technology hub and transit corridor. The port of Antwerp is a major chemical and refining cluster with significant hydrogen demand. Belgium is also home to Zirfon manufacturing, making it a natural market for demonstrating IONZERA's superior performance credentials.
In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance. Belgian electrolyser developers and research institutions can directly benchmark IONZERA against the incumbent, validating the performance improvements in their own testing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose IONZERA for mining operations hydrogen in Belgium?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for mining operations hydrogen applications in Belgium. In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance.
Why consider IONZERA when Zirfon is produced locally in Belgium?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance than Zirfon PERL UTP 500, enabling significantly more efficient electrolysis. For Belgian projects prioritizing performance and competitive TCO, IONZERA provides measurable advantages even accounting for shipping from India.
Can IONZERA be tested alongside Zirfon in the same electrolyser?
Yes. IONZERA is designed as a drop-in replacement for Zirfon in standard AWE stacks. It operates in the same 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C, enabling direct side-by-side performance comparison.
