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 South Africa’s Hydrogen Market

South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.

IONZERA supports South Africa's Hydrogen Valley vision with efficient AWE membranes that reduce hydrogen production costs for mining, industrial, and transport applications.
