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 Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's steel heritage is transforming into a clean steel future through hydrogen-based direct reduction. The city hosts major steel research institutions and industrial gas companies investing in electrolyser-based hydrogen for decarbonization. Pittsburgh is also part of the Appalachian hydrogen hub initiative.

For Pittsburgh steel decarbonization projects, the cost of hydrogen is the key economic variable. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the competitiveness of green hydrogen vs conventional processes.
