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 United Kingdom’s Hydrogen Market

The UK targets 10 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production capacity by 2030, with a mix of electrolytic and CCUS-enabled hydrogen. Scotland's Aberdeen is emerging as a hydrogen hub leveraging North Sea wind resources and existing oil and gas infrastructure. Industrial clusters in Humberside and Teesside are early movers in hydrogen adoption.

IONZERA provides UK hydrogen projects with a high-performance membrane that improves wind-to-hydrogen economics. Supply chain diversification away from single-source European membrane suppliers strengthens UK project resilience.
