Debunking Myths: The Role of Platinum Group Metals for a Hydrogen Future

Green hydrogen is widely recognized as a pivotal energy vector allowing for the storage of green electrical energy and for decarbonizing hard-to abate sectors. 

Unfortunately, a variety of misconceptions are repeatedly found in the public discussion on such critical raw materials. In the hydrogen sector, this especially concerns the use of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). Since policies on critical raw materials are mainly inspired by the battery or solar sectors, existing models are not well suited to the Platinum Group Metals industry. In this white paper the most prevailing myths are addressed and facts on the use and supply of Platinum Group Metals are provided.
