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 France’s Hydrogen Market

France has committed EUR 7.2 billion to its hydrogen strategy, targeting 6.5 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030. With strong nuclear baseload power and growing renewable capacity, France has a cost-competitive electricity base for green hydrogen production. Industrial hydrogen demand from refineries and chemical plants in Lyon, Marseille, and the Rhone valley drives near-term electrolysis deployment.

IONZERA's 3x lower resistance improves electrolyser efficiency, complementing France's low-carbon electricity advantage. For French OEMs and project developers, IONZERA offers diversified sourcing with competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing.
