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 Spain’s Hydrogen Market

Spain's abundant solar resources and industrial base make it a natural hub for green hydrogen production in Europe. The Basque Country and Catalonia host key industrial hydrogen consumers in steel, refining, and chemicals. Spain targets 4 GW of electrolyser capacity by 2030, supported by some of Europe's lowest renewable electricity costs.

IONZERA's high efficiency maximizes the hydrogen output per kWh of Spanish solar electricity, improving the economics of solar-to-hydrogen projects. Competitive pricing from Indian manufacturing strengthens the cost case for Spanish green hydrogen.
