MEGA PROJECT
MEGA PROJECTPharmaceutical Hydrogenation for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM
Catalytic hydrogenation is a critical step in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

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 NEOM
NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.
At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.
