Maximize Solar Utilization
IONZERA's low resistance means less energy lost as heat in the membrane, converting more of each solar kWh into hydrogen chemical energy.
Handle Solar Variability
Solar output follows a daily curve and varies with cloud cover. IONZERA's high wettability and stable pore structure maintain performance across the variable load profile.
Ideal for Sun-Belt Projects
The world's best solar resources overlap with regions served by G-Hexa's India-based manufacturing, including India, the Middle East, Australia, and North Africa.
Solar-to-Hydrogen in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh's steel heritage is transforming into a clean steel future through hydrogen-based direct reduction. The city hosts major steel research institutions and industrial gas companies investing in electrolyser-based hydrogen for decarbonization. Pittsburgh is also part of the Appalachian hydrogen hub initiative.
For Pittsburgh steel decarbonization projects, the cost of hydrogen is the key economic variable. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance directly reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the competitiveness of green hydrogen vs conventional processes.
