Ultra-Clean Hydrogen Source

Electrolytic hydrogen from water splitting is inherently free of carbon monoxide, sulfur, and hydrocarbon impurities that can poison precious metal hydrogenation catalysts used in API manufacturing.

GMP-Compatible On-Site Generation

On-site electrolysis provides a controlled, traceable hydrogen source that simplifies GMP documentation and qualification versus multi-sourced delivered gas.

Batch-Flexible Operation

Pharmaceutical manufacturing operates in batches. IONZERA's high wettability supports start-stop operation, generating hydrogen only when hydrogenation reactors require it.

Pharmaceutical Hydrogenation in Lyon

Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes corridor form one of France's primary hydrogen valleys, combining chemical industry demand with nuclear and renewable electricity for electrolysis. The region hosts hydrogen mobility projects and industrial decarbonization initiatives.

For Lyon's hydrogen valley projects, IONZERA provides 3x lower resistance than conventional separators, improving electrolysis efficiency. Air freight from India takes 5-7 days, with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.
