Worldwide, there are currently about 600 hydrogen refueling stations in operation. Of these, 107 went into operation during 2020, more than ever before in a single year.

Platinum in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is a growing demand sector for platinum, with wider adoption dependent on the availability of an accessible hydrogen refueling network, says the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) in its latest newsletter on May 5. This FCEV growth is coming pred...

Engineers slashed the cost of producing the stack some 70 percent. This was done by reducing the number of cells to 330 from 370 and cutting the amount of precious metals used. The amount of was cut 58 percent.

The new stack makes several improvements over the old one. Not only is the new stack smaller and lighter, it achieves an output density of 5.4 kilowatts per liter, compared with 3.5 kW per liter in the old. And crucially, the new stack is much less costly. Engineers slashed the cost of producing the...

Despite the few hundred thousand ounces of demand in the short term and close to a million ounces in the slightly longer term, there still is not any investment of significance yet by investors wanting to take a view on the hydrogen economy.

The upcoming platinum demand of Hyundai alone could come close to taking up the total annual production of one of South Africa’s biggest platinum mines. Hyundai has stated categorically, in a double-page advertisement in The Economist of London, that it will be making 700 000 fuel cell stacks a y...

projects are expanding globally to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, with large-scale projects, based on technology now planned in many regions of the world that are transitioning to renewable power.

At Glencore’s Raglan Mine, in Canada, a closed loop, microgrid system converts excess wind power to hydrogen, which is then stored in tanks. During periods of low wind power, a fuel cell produces electricity from the stored hydrogen, and within the facility are also innovations such as a battery e...
