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 Netherlands’s Hydrogen Market
The Netherlands is positioning itself as Europe's hydrogen gateway, with the Port of Rotterdam developing into a major hydrogen import and production hub. Dutch industrial clusters in chemicals, refining, and steel are among the first in Europe to commit to large-scale green hydrogen adoption. The proximity to the North Sea wind corridor further accelerates offshore wind-to-hydrogen projects.
For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of large-scale electrolysis projects crucial for the Netherlands' hydrogen hub ambitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose IONZERA for steel decarbonization in Netherlands?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for steel decarbonization applications in Netherlands. For Dutch hydrogen projects centered around Rotterdam, IONZERA provides a cost-competitive alternative to the Belgian-produced Zirfon.
Can IONZERA support large-scale Rotterdam hydrogen hub projects?
Yes. IONZERA is designed for both pilot and MW-scale AWE systems. Its 3x lower resistance improves stack efficiency at scale, and G-Hexa can supply volume quantities for large Dutch hydrogen infrastructure projects.
How does IONZERA compare to locally available Zirfon membranes?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner (350-410 vs 500 um), and uses a mesh-free design vs Zirfon's PPS mesh reinforcement. These advantages translate to more efficient electrolysis at lower stack costs.
