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 Japan’s Hydrogen Market
Japan's "Hydrogen Society" vision is among the world's most ambitious, targeting hydrogen across power generation, transport, and industry. While Japan has traditionally focused on PEM technology, the scale economics of alkaline electrolysis are driving renewed interest in AWE for large-scale production. Japanese trading houses and engineering firms are investing in global hydrogen supply chains.
For Japanese hydrogen projects requiring high-efficiency alkaline electrolysis, IONZERA provides a performance advantage with its 3x lower resistance. Japanese engineering precision and quality standards align well with IONZERA's advanced nanocomposite engineering.
