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 Germany’s Hydrogen Market

Germany's National Hydrogen Strategy positions the country as a global leader in hydrogen technology. With EUR 9 billion allocated to hydrogen infrastructure, German electrolyser OEMs and project developers are scaling rapidly. The industrial heartland of North Rhine-Westphalia, combined with hydrogen hubs in Hamburg and Bavaria, creates sustained demand for high-performance AWE membranes that can reduce production costs.

For German electrolyser manufacturers currently dependent on Zirfon from Belgium, IONZERA offers supply chain diversification with superior technical performance. With 3x lower area resistance and 20% thinner profile, IONZERA enables German OEMs to differentiate their electrolysers on efficiency. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing reduces stack BOM costs without compromising quality.
