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 South Africa’s Hydrogen Market
South Africa's Hydrogen Society Roadmap envisions a "Hydrogen Valley" corridor connecting Johannesburg to Durban. The country's platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry creates natural synergies with fuel cell and electrolyser technology. Rich solar and wind resources support green hydrogen production.
IONZERA supports South Africa's Hydrogen Valley vision with efficient AWE membranes that reduce hydrogen production costs for mining, industrial, and transport applications.
