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 Germany’s Hydrogen Market
Germany's National Hydrogen Strategy positions the country as a global leader in hydrogen technology. With EUR 9 billion allocated to hydrogen infrastructure, German electrolyser OEMs and project developers are scaling rapidly. The industrial heartland of North Rhine-Westphalia, combined with hydrogen hubs in Hamburg and Bavaria, creates sustained demand for high-performance AWE membranes that can reduce production costs.
For German electrolyser manufacturers currently dependent on Zirfon from Belgium, IONZERA offers supply chain diversification with superior technical performance. With 3x lower area resistance and 20% thinner profile, IONZERA enables German OEMs to differentiate their electrolysers on efficiency. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing reduces stack BOM costs without compromising quality.
