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 Korea’s Hydrogen Market

South Korea's Hydrogen Economy Roadmap is one of the world's most comprehensive, spanning production, distribution, and end-use across transport and power. Ulsan is developing as a hydrogen industrial hub, while Seoul drives policy and R&D. Korean companies are investing in both domestic electrolysis and international hydrogen supply chains.

IONZERA supports Korean electrolyser manufacturers and hydrogen project developers with a high-performance membrane that improves stack efficiency and differentiates Korean-made electrolysers in competitive export markets.
