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 Italy’s Hydrogen Market

Italy's hydrogen strategy targets industrial decarbonization across its chemical, refining, and steel sectors concentrated in Lombardy and Southern Italy. With significant solar resources in the south and industrial demand in the north, Italy is pursuing both green and blue hydrogen pathways.

IONZERA provides Italian industrial hydrogen projects with a high-performance membrane at competitive pricing, enabling more cost-effective electrolysis for the country's decarbonization goals.
