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 Sweden’s Hydrogen Market

Sweden is pioneering fossil-free steelmaking, with hydrogen-based direct reduction iron (H-DRI) projects requiring massive green hydrogen supply. The country's abundant hydropower and wind resources provide low-cost renewable electricity for electrolysis. Gothenburg and northern Sweden are the focal points for hydrogen-intensive industrial transformation.

IONZERA's efficiency improvements directly reduce the hydrogen production cost critical for making H-DRI steelmaking economically viable against conventional blast furnace routes.
