Green hydrogen and fuel cells

Growing hydrogen production using PGMs

Creating an integrated sustainable energy revolution

SFA (Oxford) is committed to delivering fresh opportunities across the hydrogen value chain. All sectors of the economy including transport, industry and energy, in all regions of the world, need to cut their emissions of greenhouse gases over the coming decades. There is substantial legislative, economic and social support for this.

The development of the hydrogen economy is a part of this green energy transition. Platinum Group Metals (PGM) can play key roles in the production and use of green hydrogen from renewable energy; electrolyser and fuel cell technologies are scaling up fast. Platinum, ruthenium and iridium are mission-critical precious metals to combat climate change. Companies active in the hydrogen economy will need to understand the long-term PGM supply dynamics, whilst companies following the PGM markets will need to understand the future opportunities presented in the hydrogen value chain.

The SFA team is here to support your climate change journey with bespoke green hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cell intelligence for the circular economy.

Specialist advisors for the hydrogen economy

SFA's knowledge of the platinum group metals' (PGMs) market enables us to critically evaluate the adoption of electrolyser and hydrogen fuel cell technologies. We offer hydrogen market participants exclusive insights and new market development opportunities. Platinum, iridium and ruthenium are intrinsic to the safe production of hydrogen - hydrogen needs PGMs and PGMs need hydrogen. The use of green hydrogen from renewable energy could offset CO2 emissions in many sectors. PGMs have catalytic effectiveness and well-proven durability for demanding industrial and automotive applications, and platinum-based PEM electrolysis has the high power density needed for energy storage.
