As the technology and systems get cheaper, it will open the door for clean energy adoption.
Among the top challenges to the widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel cells is the cost associated with the equipment necessary for producing the H2 and for using it as a clean energy source.
The catalysts in particular drive up the cost as they are typically made of expensive rare metals.
The purpose of hydrogen fuel cells is to convert H2 into electricity in a process that leaves only heat and water vapor as its emissions. As a result, they’ve become an important component in many decarbonization strategies. The power they generate can drive portable generators and vehicles in particular. That said, due to certain expensive components, especially those made of rare metals such as a platinum catalyst, the price tag associated with using clean energy has been high enough that it has held…
Bringing down the cost of hydrogen fuel cells improves the chances for H2
