MEGA PROJECT
MEGA PROJECTSteel Decarbonization for World-Scale Green H2 in NEOM
Steel production accounts for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions. NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia.

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 NEOM
NEOM hosts the world's largest planned green hydrogen facility, targeting 600 tonnes per day of green hydrogen for conversion to green ammonia. The project combines massive solar and wind generation with GW-scale electrolysis, representing the single largest opportunity for AWE membrane deployment globally.
At NEOM scale, membrane efficiency is not a marginal consideration but a project-defining variable. IONZERA's 3x lower resistance across the thousands of cells required for GW-scale production translates to hundreds of millions in lifecycle electricity cost reduction. India's proximity to NEOM (3-5 day delivery) provides supply chain advantages.
