Industries

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 Chile’s Hydrogen Market

Chile's Atacama Desert offers the world's best solar irradiance, targeting the lowest-cost green hydrogen globally. The country's mining sector (copper, lithium) provides both hydrogen demand and export infrastructure. Chile aims to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen by 2030.

In a market where every cent per kg matters, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance directly reduces electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, helping Chile achieve its target of the world's lowest-cost green hydrogen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for mining operations hydrogen in Chile?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for mining operations hydrogen applications in Chile. In a market where every cent per kg matters, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance directly reduces electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, helping Chile achieve its target of the world's lowest-cost green hydrogen.

Why is membrane efficiency critical for Chilean green hydrogen?

Chile targets the world's cheapest green H2 leveraging Atacama solar resources. Every reduction in electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen directly lowers production costs. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance provides a meaningful efficiency advantage at this scale.
