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 Norway’s Hydrogen Market

Norway leverages its vast hydropower resources for green hydrogen production, targeting maritime fuel cells and industrial decarbonization. The country's maritime sector is an early mover in hydrogen-powered vessels, while the oil and gas industry is pivoting toward hydrogen and CCS technologies.

IONZERA supports Norway's hydropower-to-hydrogen pathway with high-efficiency membranes that maximize hydrogen output from Norway's low-cost renewable electricity.
