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 Chile’s Hydrogen Market

Chile's Atacama Desert offers the world's best solar irradiance, targeting the lowest-cost green hydrogen globally. The country's mining sector (copper, lithium) provides both hydrogen demand and export infrastructure. Chile aims to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen by 2030.

In a market where every cent per kg matters, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance directly reduces electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, helping Chile achieve its target of the world's lowest-cost green hydrogen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for steel decarbonization in Chile?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for steel decarbonization applications in Chile. In a market where every cent per kg matters, IONZERA's 3x lower resistance directly reduces electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen, helping Chile achieve its target of the world's lowest-cost green hydrogen.

Why is membrane efficiency critical for Chilean green hydrogen?

Chile targets the world's cheapest green H2 leveraging Atacama solar resources. Every reduction in electricity consumption per kg of hydrogen directly lowers production costs. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance provides a meaningful efficiency advantage at this scale.
