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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for refinery hydrogen supply in Spain?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for refinery hydrogen supply applications in Spain. IONZERA's high efficiency maximizes the hydrogen output per kWh of Spanish solar electricity, improving the economics of solar-to-hydrogen projects.

Is IONZERA suitable for solar-to-hydrogen projects in Spain?

Yes. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance reduces electricity consumption per kg of H2, making it particularly advantageous for solar-powered electrolysis where maximizing hydrogen output per solar kWh is critical.

Can IONZERA membranes handle intermittent solar power operation?

IONZERA is designed for alkaline electrolysis systems that handle variable loads from renewable sources. Its chemical stability in 30 wt% KOH and mechanical strength ensure reliable performance across operating cycles.
