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 Chicago

Chicago is part of United States's growing hydrogen and electrochemical sector. 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.

IONZERA provides Chicago-based projects with a next-generation AWE separator membrane featuring 3x lower resistance than conventional alternatives. G-Hexa ships globally from India with competitive pricing and responsive technical support.
