Industries

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 France’s Hydrogen Market

France has committed EUR 7.2 billion to its hydrogen strategy, targeting 6.5 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030. With strong nuclear baseload power and growing renewable capacity, France has a cost-competitive electricity base for green hydrogen production. Industrial hydrogen demand from refineries and chemical plants in Lyon, Marseille, and the Rhone valley drives near-term electrolysis deployment.

IONZERA's 3x lower resistance improves electrolyser efficiency, complementing France's low-carbon electricity advantage. For French OEMs and project developers, IONZERA offers diversified sourcing with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for refinery hydrogen supply in France?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for refinery hydrogen supply applications in France. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance improves electrolyser efficiency, complementing France's low-carbon electricity advantage.

How does IONZERA fit France's hydrogen decarbonization strategy?

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, improving the economics of electrolysis powered by France's nuclear and renewable electricity mix. This directly supports France's 6.5 GW electrolyser deployment target.

Can IONZERA be delivered to French industrial hydrogen projects?

Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA globally via air freight (5-7 days to France) or sea freight for volume orders. Technical support and sample requests are handled directly by the G-Hexa team.
