EUROPEAN H2 HUB
EUROPEAN H2 HUBSteel Decarbonization for Port Hydrogen Infrastructure in Rotterdam
Steel production accounts for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions. Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale electrolysis.

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 Rotterdam
Rotterdam is developing into Europe's premier hydrogen hub, with the port authority investing in hydrogen import terminals, pipeline infrastructure, and large-scale electrolysis. The city's refinery and chemical cluster, combined with North Sea offshore wind, positions Rotterdam at the center of European hydrogen trade and production.
For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium. With 3x lower resistance, IONZERA improves the economics of the massive electrolysis capacity planned for the Rotterdam port area.

Can I get IONZERA steel decarbonization membranes in Rotterdam?
Yes. G-Hexa ships IONZERA membranes to Rotterdam, Netherlands. Air freight from India in 5-7 business days
Why use IONZERA for steel decarbonization in Rotterdam?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, reducing cell voltage and electricity costs for steel decarbonization applications. For Rotterdam's world-scale hydrogen ambitions, IONZERA provides a performance leap over the locally available Zirfon from neighboring Belgium.
How does IONZERA compare to locally sourced Zirfon for Rotterdam projects?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance (0.09-0.1 vs 0.30 ohm-cm2), is 20% thinner, and uses mesh-free architecture. These performance advantages outweigh Zirfon's geographic proximity to Rotterdam.
