Industries

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 Brazil’s Hydrogen Market

Brazil's exceptional wind and solar resources, especially in the Northeast, position it as a global green hydrogen export powerhouse. The country's established ethanol and biodiesel infrastructure provides a template for scaling hydrogen. Port cities are developing hydrogen export terminals.

IONZERA's efficiency improvements reduce the cost of Brazilian green hydrogen, strengthening the export case for South American hydrogen and ammonia in European and Asian markets.
