GREEN STEEL
GREEN STEELSteel Decarbonization Membrane in United States
Steel production accounts for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions. The US hydrogen market is accelerating under the Inflation Reduction Act's production tax credits (up to $3/kg for clean hydrogen) and the DOE's $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program.

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 States’s Hydrogen Market
The US hydrogen market is accelerating under the Inflation Reduction Act's production tax credits (up to $3/kg for clean hydrogen) and the DOE's $7 billion Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs program. Houston, Pittsburgh, and California are focal points for hydrogen production, with applications spanning refineries, steel, ammonia, and transport. American electrolyser manufacturers are scaling rapidly to capture IRA incentives.
IONZERA helps US hydrogen projects maximize IRA credits by reducing the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen through 3x lower membrane resistance. For American electrolyser OEMs, IONZERA provides a high-performance membrane source that diversifies supply beyond European single-supplier dependency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose IONZERA for steel decarbonization in United States?
IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for steel decarbonization applications in United States. IONZERA helps US hydrogen projects maximize IRA credits by reducing the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen through 3x lower membrane resistance.
How does IONZERA improve the economics of IRA-supported hydrogen projects?
The IRA provides up to $3/kg production tax credit for clean hydrogen. IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces electricity consumption per kg of H2, lowering production costs and maximizing the net benefit of IRA incentives for alkaline electrolysis projects.
Can IONZERA be used in DOE Regional Clean Hydrogen Hub projects?
Yes. IONZERA is a drop-in replacement for conventional AWE membranes, compatible with standard alkaline electrolyser stacks. Hub projects using alkaline electrolysis can benefit from IONZERA's superior efficiency and competitive pricing.
