Fuel cell developments poised to transform PGM, manufacturing sectors

Global developments in the fuel cell sector, which have begun to move at a far faster pace than expected after decades of build-up, are poised to transform South Africa’s platinum group metals and manufacturing sectors, a well-attended fuel cell conference heard on Wednesday. Speakers at the Nedbank CIB Market Research conference heard global speakers repeat that some of the biggest companies in the world were now inextricably linked to the rapid advance of the fuel-cell-linked hydrogen economy as the main contributor to world demand for climate change mitigation.
