The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) reports that interest in using hydrogen fuel cells in the heavy-haul industry is growing rapidly, with several interesting developments currently under way.
Platinum-based, proton exchange membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells provide zero-emissions electric-driven mobility in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
When fuelled by green hydrogen – made using renewable energy in the electrolysis process – they offer emissions-free transport and their application has the potential to assist with the decarbonisation of many industries, from transportation to construction, mining and beyond, the WPIC states.
The council points out that engineering and technology company Bosch, which supplies PEM fuel cells, expects that, by 2030, about one in eight newly registered commercial vehicles globally will be powered by a fuel cell, equivalent to an…
