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 Spain’s Hydrogen Market

Spain's abundant solar resources and industrial base make it a natural hub for green hydrogen production in Europe. The Basque Country and Catalonia host key industrial hydrogen consumers in steel, refining, and chemicals. Spain targets 4 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030, supported by some of Europe's lowest renewable electricity costs.

IONZERA's high efficiency maximizes the hydrogen output per kWh of Spanish solar electricity, improving the economics of solar-to-hydrogen projects. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing strengthens the cost case for Spanish green hydrogen.
