Which electrolyzer technology should I choose for my project?+
It depends on the load profile, scale, footprint, water and utility availability, downstream pressure and purity requirements, and the maturity tolerance of your project. Alkaline is the most mature and lowest-CAPEX choice for steady, large-scale baseload hydrogen. PEM offers fast dynamics and high-pressure output, ideal for variable renewable input. AEM is emerging as a lower-cost alternative to PEM but with a smaller commercial track record. SOEC is the most efficient at high temperatures but still pre-commercial at scale and best suited where waste heat is available. We run a structured trade-off against your specific drivers, so the choice is defendable to investors and regulators.
Can you work alongside our existing electrolyzer vendor?+
Yes. We frequently act as the independent engineering partner alongside an OEM, focused on balance-of-plant, integration with the host site, and the interfaces the vendor doesn't cover. We have no commercial ties to electrolyzer suppliers, so our role complements rather than competes with theirs.
How do you handle balance-of-plant for high-pressure or high-purity hydrogen?+
Through deliberate design of compression, purification (deoxo, drying), buffer storage and metering, sized to the downstream specification. We address material compatibility, leak management, ATEX zoning and venting from the start, not as an afterthought to the stack selection.
Do you support both green hydrogen and blue/grey-to-green transition projects?+
Yes. Many industrial sites today run on grey or blue hydrogen and need a credible path to partial or full green substitution. We help define the staged transition, co-existence with existing supply, integration with renewables or PPAs, and the engineering required at each step.
Can you take a hydrogen project from feasibility through commissioning?+
Yes. Feasibility and techno-economic assessment, conceptual and front-end engineering, pilot and modular system development, and on-site commissioning and troubleshooting are all in scope. For detailed engineering and EPC execution we typically hand the basis of design to a larger partner and stay involved as technical owner.
Are you tied to any electrolyzer manufacturer?+
No. Ionect is fully vendor-independent. Recommendations are made on technical and economic merit against the project's drivers, with the criteria documented so the reasoning is transparent to your board, investors or regulators.
