Industries

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 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.
