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 New Zealand’s Hydrogen Market

New Zealand's abundant geothermal and wind resources provide low-cost renewable electricity for green hydrogen production. The country's dairy and agricultural sectors create demand for green ammonia, while heavy transport and remote communities present opportunities for hydrogen fuel.

IONZERA provides New Zealand with a high-performance AWE membrane accessible via the India-Oceania trade corridor, offering competitive pricing and shorter delivery than European alternatives.
