60 Seconds in Platinum

Few people are currently aware of the full range of interesting and highly beneficial things that platinum does. To address this, we publish our brief 60 Seconds in Platinum articles up to four times per month.

Earth Day 2023 - Transition Metal - 19 April 2023

As Earth Day 2023 approaches on 22 April, we are focusing on platinum’s role in decarbonisation as a key transition metal for the energy transition. Proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology uses platinum catalysts in two important applications – electrolysers to produce hydrogen, and hydrogen fuel cells to produce electricity from hydrogen. A PEM electrolyser produces carbon-free green hydrogen from renewable energy, while fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are a major market for hydrogen fuel cells. When a FCEV is powered with green hydrogen it provides completely emissions-free transportation.

Hydrogen hero - 15 December 2022

The need to decarbonise is more acute than ever and platinum-based proton exchange membrane (PEM) technologies will have a significant role to play in the energy transition. Platinum’s strategic and economic importance is underlined with the United Sates, European Union and China recognising its critical mineral status, while the US Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August, further supports platinum demand from PEM technologies by accelerating growth in green hydrogen production and fuel cell electric vehicle adoption. The urgent need for energy independence is also spurring on investment in hydrogen that is beneficial for platinum.
