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 South Africa’s Hydrogen Market

South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.

IONZERA supports South Africa's Hydrogen Valley vision with efficient AWE membranes that reduce hydrogen production costs for mining, industrial, and transport applications.
