Industries

Eliminate Cylinder Logistics

On-site generation replaces the complex logistics of compressed hydrogen cylinder delivery, storage, and changeover in cleanroom-adjacent areas.

Consistent Supply Reliability

Alkaline electrolysers with IONZERA membranes provide continuous, demand-responsive hydrogen generation, ensuring fab operations never face supply interruptions.

Lower Operating Cost

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the electricity cost of on-site H2 generation versus both delivered cylinders and less efficient electrolyser alternatives.

Compact Installation

IONZERA's thin 350-410 um profile enables compact electrolyser stacks that fit within the space constraints of semiconductor facility utility areas.

Semiconductor Fab Gas 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.
