Reduce H2 Cost for DRI

Direct reduction of iron consumes approximately 55 kg of hydrogen per tonne of DRI. IONZERA's lower electricity consumption per kg H2 directly improves the economics of H2-DRI steelmaking.

GW-Scale Membrane Supply

A single green steel plant may require hundreds of MW of electrolyser capacity. IONZERA's scalable, mesh-free manufacturing is designed to meet these large-volume membrane demands.

Reliable Continuous Output

Steel furnaces operate continuously. IONZERA's mechanical strength of 2.7 MPa and chemically stable PSU-TiO2-GO matrix support the uninterrupted electrolyser operation that steel plants demand.

Steel Decarbonization in Australia’s Hydrogen Market

Australia's National Hydrogen Strategy targets the country as a top-three global hydrogen exporter by 2030. With vast solar and wind resources across Western Australia, Queensland, and South Australia, plus established LNG export infrastructure, Australia is building a comprehensive hydrogen supply chain. Mining operations provide both export infrastructure and hydrogen demand.

IONZERA helps Australian hydrogen projects achieve competitive export pricing through lower production costs. The India-Australia trade corridor provides faster and more cost-effective membrane supply compared to European sources.
