Fast Sample Availability

G-Hexa provides small-quantity membrane samples for pilot-scale testing, with shorter lead times than European suppliers. Perfect for R&D programs and proof-of-concept installations.

Performance at Any Scale

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance delivers efficiency benefits whether your electrolyser is 10 kW or 10 MW, making every pilot project a showcase of what is achievable at full scale.

Technical Partnership

G-Hexa's engineering team provides hands-on support for membrane integration into custom electrolyser designs, from cell sizing to operating parameter optimization.

Custom Membrane Sizing

Pilot and decentralized electrolysers often use non-standard cell formats. G-Hexa offers custom cutting and sizing for IONZERA membranes to match your specific cell geometry.

Pilot & Decentralized H2 Plants in Germany’s Hydrogen Market

Germany's National Hydrogen Strategy positions the country as a global leader in hydrogen technology. With EUR 9 billion allocated to hydrogen infrastructure, German electrolyser OEMs and project developers are scaling rapidly. The industrial heartland of North Rhine-Westphalia, combined with hydrogen hubs in Hamburg and Bavaria, creates sustained demand for high-performance AWE membranes that can reduce production costs.

For German electrolyser manufacturers currently dependent on Zirfon from Belgium, IONZERA offers supply chain diversification with superior technical performance. With 3x lower area resistance and 20% thinner profile, IONZERA enables German OEMs to differentiate their electrolysers on efficiency. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing reduces stack BOM costs without compromising quality.
