The Germanium Ionization Energy is the energy required to remove from atom one mole of electrons with subsequent production of positively charged ion of Germanium.
Ge -> Ge+ + e-
This process can be repeated many times, but the energy cost is increased dramatically. The general equation for the Germanium is:
GeN+ -> Ge(N+1)+ + e-

Ge -> Ge1+ = 762.1 kJ/mol = 182.32 Kcal/mol
\nGe1+ -> Ge2+ = 1537 kJ/mol = 367.70 Kcal/mol
\nGe2+ -> Ge3+ = 3302 kJ/mol = 789.95 Kcal/mol
\nGe3+ -> Ge4+ = 4410 kJ/mol = 1055.02 Kcal/mol
\nGe4+ -> Ge5+ = 9020 kJ/mol = 2157.89 Kcal/mol
\nGe5+ -> Ge6+ = 11900 kJ/mol = 2846.89 Kcal/mol
\nGe6+ -> Ge7+ = 15000 kJ/mol = 3588.52 Kcal/mol
\nGe7+ -> Ge8+ = 18200 kJ/mol = 4354.07 Kcal/mol
\nGe8+ -> Ge9+ = 21800 kJ/mol = 5215.31 Kcal/mol
\nGe9+ -> Ge10+ = 27000 kJ/mol = 6459.33 Kcal/mol
