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 Houston
Houston is the energy capital of the United States and a central node in the DOE's Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub initiative. The city's concentration of refineries, petrochemical complexes, and industrial gas companies creates the largest hydrogen demand center in North America. Houston's energy industry expertise is rapidly pivoting toward clean hydrogen production.
For Houston hydrogen projects seeking to maximize IRA production tax credits, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces electricity cost per kg of H2. This improves net returns from the $3/kg PTC. IONZERA also diversifies membrane supply for American electrolyser OEMs beyond single-source European dependency.
