Thousands of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in California obtain their hydrogen with the help of platinum from a growing number of hydrogen refuelling stations that have been established with effective government help. Independent hydrogen consultant Dr Jose Lopez Gallego, who is in South Africa to speak at Nedbank CIB Research’s FCEV conference, works with a company that builds the platinum-catalysed electrolysers that produce hydrogen from water with the help of sun-generated electricity.
