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 Sweden’s Hydrogen Market

Sweden is pioneering fossil-free steelmaking, with hydrogen-based direct reduction iron (H-DRI) projects requiring massive green hydrogen supply. The country's abundant hydropower and wind resources provide low-cost renewable electricity for electrolysis. Gothenburg and northern Sweden are the focal points for hydrogen-intensive industrial transformation.

IONZERA's efficiency improvements directly reduce the hydrogen production cost critical for making H-DRI steelmaking economically viable against conventional blast furnace routes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for mining operations hydrogen in Sweden?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for mining operations hydrogen applications in Sweden. IONZERA's efficiency improvements directly reduce the hydrogen production cost critical for making H-DRI steelmaking economically viable against conventional blast furnace routes.

How does IONZERA support fossil-free steel production in Sweden?

Fossil-free steel via hydrogen direct reduction requires massive quantities of green hydrogen at the lowest possible cost. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces electricity consumption per kg of H2, directly improving the economics of H-DRI steelmaking.
