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 Portugal’s Hydrogen Market

Portugal's strong solar resources and Atlantic port access position it as a green hydrogen and ammonia export hub for Europe. The Sines industrial complex is developing large-scale electrolysis projects targeting both domestic industry and export markets.

IONZERA maximizes hydrogen output per solar kWh, improving the export economics of Portuguese green hydrogen and ammonia projects.
