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 Saudi Arabia’s Hydrogen Market

Saudi Arabia is building the world's largest green hydrogen facility at NEOM, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for ammonia export. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 diversification strategy positions hydrogen as a key non-oil revenue stream. With world-class solar irradiance and massive capital deployment, Saudi Arabia is becoming a cornerstone of the global hydrogen trade.

For Saudi mega-projects requiring world-scale electrolysis, IONZERA's efficiency improvements compound at scale. Every 0.01V reduction in cell voltage across thousands of cells translates to significant CAPEX and OPEX savings. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing further strengthens the cost case.
