Reduce Scope 1 Emissions
On-site green hydrogen from IONZERA-equipped electrolysers directly replaces SMR-derived grey hydrogen, cutting refinery Scope 1 CO2 emissions from hydrogen production.
Continuous High-Volume Operation
Refinery hydrogen demand is continuous and large-volume. IONZERA's mechanical strength and chemical stability support the 24/7, high-utilization operation that refineries require.
Compatible with Existing Infrastructure
Hydrogen from alkaline electrolysis integrates with existing refinery hydrogen networks after standard purification, requiring no modifications to downstream hydrotreating or hydrocracking units.
Refinery Hydrogen Supply in China’s Hydrogen Market
China operates the world's largest alkaline electrolyser manufacturing base and is the dominant market for AWE systems globally. With aggressive renewable energy deployment in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, and coastal provinces, China's green hydrogen capacity is scaling from GW to tens of GW. The domestic alkaline electrolyser market is intensely competitive, creating demand for differentiated membrane technology.
For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator. The mesh-free design and advanced nanocomposite composition represent a next-generation technology leap for stacks targeting export markets with stringent performance requirements.

Why choose IONZERA for refinery hydrogen supply in China?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for refinery hydrogen supply applications in China. For Chinese electrolyser OEMs competing on efficiency specs, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance offers a meaningful performance differentiator.
How does IONZERA compare to Chinese domestic AWE membranes?
IONZERA's proprietary PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite achieves 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 area resistance, which is significantly lower than most domestic Chinese AWE separators. The mesh-free architecture and graphene oxide enhancement provide a technology generation leap.
Can Chinese electrolyser OEMs integrate IONZERA as a drop-in membrane?
Yes. IONZERA operates in standard 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C and is compatible with standard AWE stack designs. It is a direct replacement for existing separators without requiring frame or system modifications.
